3. DMX 5-Channel (5-Chan) Mode

Table 2-2 provides DMX channel mapping of all DMX512 control values when the PLCYC1 MKII LED Luminaire
is in 5-Channel (5-Chan) DMX512 mode (as set by the luminaire's menu system).
Note: This mode is for the simplest control of the luminaire's LEDs and intensity for limited control consoles and
controllers.

4. PLCYC1 MKII LED Luminaire DMX Timing Channel Detail

Timing channel control improves the timed moves of certain groups of parameters. The PLCYC1 MKII LED
Luminaire provides two timing channels in 16-bit mode (one for intensity time and one for color time) and one timing
channel in 8-bit (color and intensity timing combined). The luminaire uses its timing channel value to calculate a
smooth continuous operation for a given time and transition.
Guidelines:
• Timing channels support time values from zero to 169 seconds.
• To use a timing channel instead of console timing, it is recommended to set the timing channel to the desired value
and set cue and/or console cue fade time to zero. A combination of time controls can produce unexpected results.
• The default value setting in the profile should be 255 (proportional control) to allow smooth operation when using
console timing.
• The timing channel data should change as a snap. A zero value will give the fastest operation, however, without
any smoothing this can appear "steppy" in console timed moves.
