Effects 19
With tracking control, the speed at which effects move is determined by a cross-fade time programmed on
the controller. With this method, the controller divides a movement into tiny steps that the fixture “tracks”.
Tracking control is enabled via the speed channel for the effect concerned.
With vector control, speed is set with a DMX value on the speed channel. This provides a way to control
speed on controllers without cross-faders. Vector control can also provide smoother movement, particularly
at slow speeds, with controllers that send slow or irregular tracking updates. When using vector control, the
controller’s cross-fade time, if available, must be set to 0.
Blackout
When “blackout while moving” is selected on a speed channel, the shutter closes when an effect moves to
make the transition invisible. The shutter opens when the movement is complete. This function is available
for pan and tilt on channel 18 in basic mode/24 in extended mode and for color wheels/fixed gobo wheel
selection, rotating gobo selection and prism in/out on channel 19 in basic mode/25 in extended mode.
Personality overrides
The pan/tilt speed channel provides tracking values that allow you to override the pan/tilt speed setting from
the controller.
The effects speed channel provides values for overriding the shortcuts setting for the color and gobo
wheels.
