Rotating Gobo and Iris Module Parameters
Rotating Gobo and Iris is the standard Slot 3 Module for the x.Spot fixture. It
contains one 8-position Gobo wheel with seven rotating lithopatterns (plus open) and
a variable iris, (see Figure 4-6).
Figure 4-6 Rotating Gobo 2 Lithopatterns
In the following parameter descriptions, the term Spin indicates motion
of the large wheel and
Rotate refers to motion of the smaller aperture
wheels holding individual lithopatterns.
Gobo 2 Function
The Gobo 2 Function parameter is controlled with DMX Channel 33. This parameter
determines how the Gobo wheel moves. Table 4-10 describes the Gobo 2 Function
parameter. It can be enabled in either full speed (controller crossfading the wheel
positions), or MSpeed (MSpeed control of the wheel motor). For more information,
see “MSpeed (Motor Speed)” on page 4-8.
