Index/Rotation - Philips Vari-lite VL3500 Wash User Manual

Index/Rotation

The FX Pattern wheel operates in two modes: INDEX Mode and ROTATE Mode. The corresponding
values are given in the DMX Map Tables below. Patterns will also behave as follows:
• FX Pattern wheel will only stop at whole images.
• It is not necessary for the wheel to complete a full revolution to change an FX Pattern from Index
mode to Rotate mode.
• To move between FX Patterns using a fade time, the FX Timing channel (21) must be used.
• Control the FX Pattern wheel using DMX levels from 0 to 216.
• Wheel spins are variable. For CCW, fast to slow, use DMX 217-236. For CW, slow to fast, use
DMX 237-255.
The FX Pattern Index function utilizes 16-bit control which offers enhanced resolution whether in
INDEX or ROTATE mode.
