Effects

This section describes the effects provided by the ERA 300 profile fixture. See 'DMX protocol' on
page 25 for a full list of the DMX channels and values required to control the different effects.

Dimming

Overall intensity can be precisely adjusted from 0 to 100% using 16-bit coarse and fine control.

Strobe effects

An electronic shutter provides instant open and blackout, random and variable speed flash from 1
to 12 flashes per second, and pulse effects.

Pan and tilt

The fixture's head can be panned through 540° and tilted through 260° with 16-bit coarse and fine
control. Using the control menus it is possible to invert pan or tilt movement. A position feedback
circuit provides automatic position correction if the fixture is knocked out of position.
Light output can be set to black out when the head moves using the "Blackout Pan/Tilt move
Enable" command on DMX channel 21.

Colors

The fixture has fully variable CMY color mixing.
In addition, a color wheel provides the 9 colors listed below plus an open position. Colors can be
selected in full position steps or continuously scrolled to give split colors. The wheel can be rotated
