Strobing

Studio Spot utilizes the flags in the dimming system to produce instant
blackout, variable and random speed strobes, and variable and random
ramp/snap strobes. Additionally, Studio Spot can dim while strobing.
The strobe system is controlled by DMX channel 20. Refer to Table 2.6 for
strobe functions and descriptions.

Dimming

Studio Spot has full dimming capability without changing the color
temperature or the shape of the projection. This is accomplished with
dimming flags that are positioned out of the focal length. Dimming is
linearly scaled with 256 values to provide smooth and accurate motion.
Dimming is controlled by DMX channel 21.
