SGM Technology for Lighting Setting Pan movement starting angle Synthesis has a Pan movement range of 530°. If the entire excursion doesn't have to be used, two parameters allow to set the starting angle (MIN) and ending angle(MAX), which 4°. To limit pan movement, proceed as follows: PAN POS MAX=004 1.

SGM Technology for Lighting Pan/Tilt inversion This function also allows to optimize Synthesis moving head in relation to PAN TILT SWAP=OFF the operator’s position, in order to simplify all positioning procedure. When SWAP is enabled (ON), this means that the lighting console sends the data regarding Pan to the Tilts controls and vice versa.

SGM Technology for Lighting Pan/Tilt movement resolution This function allows to define the movement resolution (16 or 8 bit). The PAN TILT RES difference is in the number of steps in which the range of head movement is divided. In high res. (16bit) mode, 530° ofl pan and 250° of tilt are divided into 65.536 steps, ensuring very smooth precision even at very low speed.
