Control Function Options

MSpeed times vary from 0.15 seconds to 252.7 seconds. However, when MSpeed is applied to a parameter, the delay value (length of time allowed for the entire scene) needs to be longer than the MSpeed value to allow the motors to complete their movement before the end of the scene. An MSpeed value that is longer than the delay value could produce an undesirable result; for example, an unintended “jump” to another position initiated before the first motion is complete. For a listing of exact MSpeed times, see “Appendix B: MSpeed Conversion Table”.

Note: Since Pan and Tilt are the only parameters controlled with MSpeed in DL.1 fixtures, setting the MSpeed Channel to Xfade (DMX value = 0) or the Control Channel to MSpeed Off (DMX value = 10-13) will have the same outcome.

Channel 10 operates several Control functions. These functions remotely control various fixture operations and allow access to the internal-projector menu controls.

Fixture operations . All of the following Fixture operation control settings except for Turning MSpeed off require Channel 5 (Dimming Iris) be closed (DMX decimal value

=0). These control options allow the user to:

•Turn MSpeed off

•Turn the display on and off

•Adjust display brightness

•Home

—All the fixture components —Pan and Tilt —Focus/Zoom/Dimming Iris

•Turn Lamp on and off

•Shutdown the fixture

•Reset the Camera

Internal Menu Access. The following Control options do not require Channel 5 be set to Closed (DMX value = 0). They allow the user to access the:

•Projector Menu

•Projector Up / Down / Left / Right

•Projector Select

•Projector Orientation

These values enable you to access the projector’s menu system under DMX control. For details about these features and about the projector’s menu system, you must consult the projector manual provided with the DL.1. For a list of limitations on these features, see “Limitations of Projector Control” on page 3-12.
