Timing Channel Information

Timing channel control improves the timed moves of certain groups of parameters. We provide three
timing channels, one for Focus (Pan and Tilt), one for color parameters and one for beam parameters.
Timing channels support time values of up to six minutes.
A timing value of zero is full speed. A time value of 100% (or 255 in DMX) causes the associated
parameter(s) to follow cue fade time (console time) rather than the timing channel.
Note: The particular storing syntax for your console, as well as instructions on how to write part cues,
can be found in the operation manual for that console.
To use these channels, you must:
Step 1. Create the cue, including color, gobo, edge and diffusion as required.
Step 2. Decide which fixtures and which parameter groups will use timing channels.
Step 3. Assign a value to the particular timing channel(s) you wish to use (for timing information
see chart on next page).
Step 4. Set console timing (or cue fade time) for parameters and timing channels to zero seconds.
Step 5. Store cue.
