channel 16 (in basic mode) or 23 (in extended mode) if you want to obtain instant snap dimming to/from
intermediate values (e.g. if you want a snap from 100% to 50% or from 20% to 70%).
Fine control of the dimmer is available on channel 3 in extended mode.
Cyan, magenta, yellow and color temperature control
Cyan, magenta, yellow and CTC can be added on channels 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively (4, 6, 8 and 10 in
extended mode). Fine control is available on channels 5, 7, 9 and 11 in extended mode.
Color wheel
The color wheel with 6 color filters, a 3200 - 4100 K CTC filter and a UV transmitter filter is available on
Channel 7 (12 in extended mode). The color wheel can scroll continuously (allowing split colors) or in
full-color steps. Random or continuous color scrolling and random full colors are also available at different
speeds.
Fine control of the color wheel is available on channel 13 in extended mode.
Beam shaper
On channel 8 (14 in extended mode), the beam shaper can be applied and its position indexed from 0° to
360°. If continuous beam shaper rotation is selected on the macro channel (9 in basic mode, 15 in extended
mode) the beam shaper can be rotated clockwise and counterclockwise at varying speeds.
Effect macros
Channel 9 (15 in extended mode) provides pre-programmed variable-speed macros that use the color
wheel shake effect and the beam shaper (either alone or in combination) or use random CMY color mixes. If
continuous beam shaper rotation is selected by sending a DMX value from 56 to 95, direction and speed of
rotation can be varied on channel 8 (14 in extended mode).
Zoom
On channel 10 (16 in extended mode), the separate zoom lens varies the one-tenth peak beam angle from
12.5° to 66°. Fine control of zoom is available on channel 17 in extended mode.
Pan and tilt
Pan and tilt are controlled on channels 11 to 14 (18 to 21 in extended mode). Coarse and fine control are
available in both basic and extended modes.

Important! Effect movement may be rough and unpredictable if controller fade times are combined
with vector speed values.
The effects speed channels 15 and 16 (22 and 23 in extended mode) provide two methods for controlling
the speed at which effects move that are known as "tracking" and "vector".
if you select tracking control, effects speed is determined by the cross-fade time programmed on the
controller. With this method, the controller divides a movement into tiny steps that the fixture "tracks", or
follows.
If you select vector control, effects speed is determined by the DMX value you send on the speed channel.
Vector control allows you to control effects speed on controllers without cross-faders. It can give smoother
movement, particularly at slow speeds, when using a controller that sends slow or irregular tracking
updates. Setting a fast vector speed gives the fastest dimming to or from scenes in which the dimmer is
partly open or partly closed.
