VARI❋LITE - VL440 / VL770 / VL880 LUMINAIRE USER’S MANUAL
40 31 October 2013 02.9687.0001 C
Notes:
Default Values: *Denotes recommended console default settings.
Use of Timing Channels: The default value setting in the profile should be 255 (proportional control) to allow smooth movement when using console timing. The
Timing channel data should change as a snap. A zero value will give the fastest move but without any smoothing, this can look steppy in console-timed moves.
**Requires 3 second rule. Set value for 3 seconds and then give a discrete "0". Once executed, the dimmer shall close, iris shall set to selection, and dimmer shall
reopen.
To use a timing channel instead of console timing it is necessary to set the timing channel to the desired value and set cue and/or parameter time to zero. A
combination of time controls can produce unexpected results. Refer to “Luminaire Timing” on page 47 for more information.
Timing Channel Control: The luminaire uses the timing channel value to calculate a smooth continuous movement for a given time and transition.

Allows for luminaire timing of gobo wheel func-
tions. Profile should default to DMX 255 for
