Auto sets the display to invert automatically when the fixture is rotated more than 45% off the horizontal axis. This is the default setting.

Restoring Factory Defaults

Set_Projector Screen

The projector tab provides settings related to the internal projector functionality.

Use the Projector Input option to select which input the projector should accept. When External is selected, the projector takes input directly from an external source and bypasses the internal graphics engine. When Internal is selected, the projector takes input directly from the graphics engine. Internal is the default configuration setting.

Setting the Projector In By DMX field to Yes sets DMX as the projector’s input source.

The Projector Lamp field lets you manually turn the lamp On or Off.

Use the Projector Powerup to choose the control option for turning the lamp on. The options are: ALWAYS ON, MANUAL, DMX. This only takes effect when the fixture powers up.

Always On turns the projector lamp on when the fixture starts up regardless of whether there is a DMX/Art-Net signal. If there is no DMX/Art-Net signal the lamp shuts off when the shutdown timeout period expires.
