channel at zero. Then, if you want to add effects in a layer, increase the value on the
Master channel of the layer that you want to use.
Each layer also has its own Shutter channel which lets you set that layer to Open and
Blackout as well as selecting different pulse and strobe effects to run on that layer.
Pattern control
The FR10 Bar offers a range of different FX patterns that consist of pixel color/intensity
and pixel zoom angle effects. Each pattern comprises a sequence of steps which can
be selected step by step (static) or run continuously (dynamic) forwards or backwards.
Pattern control is similar to rotating gobo control using two DMX channels on an effect
spotlight:
Use the Pattern Select channel to select the FX pattern that you want to use, just as
•
you would select a gobo.
Then use the Pattern Position/Movement channel to either:
•
- select a static pattern step (DMX 000 to 127 / Step 1 to 20), just as you would select
a gobo indexing angle, or
- select the speed and direction of a continuously running dynamic pattern (DMX
128 to 255), just as you would select gobo movement speed and direction.
The Pattern Position DMX range 000 to 127 is split into 20 pattern steps which you can
select one by one. If a pattern only has 10 steps, you can only select steps 0 to 10 – all
other steps are empty.
A pattern has active and inactive cells. An active cell displays the color and zoom of
the pattern. An inactive cell is transparent and will display the color and zoom angle of
the background.
You can select from 50 patterns on the Pattern Select channel. At the end of the
channel there is also a Random Pattern function and a Random Pixel FX function.
Random Pattern auto-selects patterns randomly and runs 10 pattern step cycles of
each pattern. After 10 pattern step cycles, the fixture changes to the next pattern.
Random Pixel FX randomly selects pixels which crossfade to each other.
Pattern length and offset
FX Length and FX Offset let you set up FX pattern chases and similar synchronized
action in multiple fixtures (as opposed to running the same pattern at the same time
on multiple fixtures). The length and offset options work like this:
FX Length sets the number of steps the fixture will play back for the current pattern.
•
- If you set both FX Length and FX Offset to DMX 000, the FX pattern will play back at
the same time on all fixtures. Action is identical.
- If you set FX Length to DMX 000, the fixture will play back all the steps in the FX
pattern in a loop.
- If you set FX Length to DMX 003, the fixture will only play back steps 1 to 3 in a loop.
