Effects

This section gives details of the effects that can be controlled via DMX. See the DMX protocol table on page
21 for details of the channels used to control them.
Where fine control is available, the main control channel sets the first 8 bits (the most significant byte or
MSB), and the fine channels set the second 8 bits (the least significant byte or LSB) of the 16-bit control
byte. In other words, the fine channel works within the position set by the coarse channel.

Shutter and strobe effects

The MAC Encore Performance's dimmer/shutter provides instant blackout and snap open as well as regular
or random strobe effects with variable speed from approx. 1 Hz to 25 Hz.

Dimming

The dimmer effect provides smooth, high-resolution fading from 100% to zero.
Fine 16-bit dimming control is available on DMX channels 2 and 3.

Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and CTC

The amount of cyan, magenta, yellow applied to the MAC Encore Performance's light output can be varied
from zero to 100%.
The amount of CTC (color temperature control) applied can also be varied from zero to 100%. The CTC
flags installed as standard vary between CLD and WRM models:
• The CTC flags installed in CLD models let you apply a variable amount of warm color temperature.
• The CTC flags installed in WRM models let you apply a variable amount of cold color temperature.
