DMX Operation
VL550 Wash Channel Mapping
These tables assume a DMX start address of 1. When a different starting address is used, this address
becomes channel 1 function and other functions follow in sequence.

*Notes:
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.
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
Timing" on page 29
Timing Channel Control: The luminaire uses the timing channel value to calculate a smooth continuous movement for a
given time and transition.
Console Timing: The Console calculates the time duration between the DMX increments to be sent for a given time and
transition.
Timing Channel Mapping:
Focus timing: Pan and Tilt
Color Timing: Cyan, Yellow, and Magenta.
