Symmetric Ramping; Asymmetric Ramping - Dynamic Perception MX3 User Manual

You can start a motor ramping out at any time during the film by having a ramp out
value set, and then switching the motor control from on to off.
You cannot change motor parameters while a ramp is executing. You can tell that a
ramp is executing by the fact that the motor control will show 'RMP' instead of 'On' o
'Off'.

7.6.1. Symmetric Ramping

In symmetric ramping, the ramp in and ramp out are of the same length. This is one of the most
common forms of ramping, and the default behavior of the MX3. To set a symmetric ramping,
go to the appropriate Motor Control screen, use
then use [Up] and [Down]

7.6.2. Asymmetric Ramping

Asymmetric ramping is when the ramp in and out lengths differ from each other. The MX3
allows you to specify different ramp lengths for both in and out, allowing for greater artistic
control of your film. To set an asymmetric ramp, go to the appropriate Motor Control screen, use
[Right] or [Left] to select the Ramp Control, and then use
menu. Here, you can specify both the ramp in and out. If these two values differ, the ramp
control on the motor control screen will show '*' indicating that two values are in-use.
[Right]
to set a value for both ramps.
