Frost

Frost effects are achieved with two frost flags. The frost system provides
infinite beam diffusion, variable and random frost strobing, and variable
and random ramp/snap effects.
Frost is controlled by DMX channel 17. Refer to Table 2.4 for the available
frost functions and descriptions.

Focus

The variable focus mechanism physically moves the lens assembly inside
the bezel. This allows both litho wheels to be brought in or out of focus
from 1 meter to infinity. Due to the short focal distance between litho
wheels, patterns can be easily morphed. Additionally, combination
patterns can be created by mixing patterns and/or effects. Focus is
controlled by DMX channel 18.
