Strobing

The Strobing parameter creates flashing or pulsing of the layer's image as though it were
lit by a strobe light. Each strobing pattern is controlled by a range of 24 DMX values that
govern strobing speed of that pattern. The strobe's speed generally refers to the intervals
when the image is turned on.
The suggested default DMX value of the Strobing parameter is 0, which produces no
strobe effect. Other DMX values for the parameter determine the strobing pattern. The
available strobe patterns are:
Strobe Pattern
(DMX value = 0)
OnOff
(DMX values 1-24)
Pulse 1
(DMX values 25-49)
Pulse 2
(DMX values 50-74)
Pulse Train
(DMX values 75-99)
Random 1
(DMX values 100-124)
Random 2
(DMX values 125-149)

Description
Strobe Off
Blinks the entire image repeatedly with equal on and off amounts of time. Value
1 is the fastest setting (the image is turned on longest); 24 is the slowest
setting.
Pulse length is always 1 frame long. Time between pulses varies. Value 25 is
the slowest setting; 49 is the fastest setting.
Time between pulses is 25 frames. Pulse length varies. Value 50 is the longest
setting; 74 is the shortest setting.
Time between pulses is 25 frames.The number of pulses varies. Value 75 is
the fastest setting with the most pulses; 99 has a single pulse.
Equal on and off amounts of time. Pulse length varies randomly.
