Prism
Prism is a special effect that multiplies the projected pattern. Typically, luminaires use a four
multiplying prism.
Programming
The inputting and recording of fixture values to achieve a desired design or theme.
Rate (Sequences)
Rate allows you to regulate the time of advancing Scenes within a Sequence. You scale the
advance Rate in percentages by first selecting the Rate field in the Sequence window, then
setting the Rate value with the up/down arrows in the Rate field. You can specify Rates from
.01 (fastest) to 127.99 (slowest). A value of 1.00 is times 1, 2.00 is times 2,.50 is times 1/2, and
so on. Rates less than 1.00 speed up the advancing Rate, while greater than 100 slow down the
Rate. You can also type in the Rate value by first pressing the <RATE> key in the Sequence
key group, then type in the value and press the <ENTER> key.

RGB
RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) is a color model that you can use in the Status Cue system to mix
colors. RGB is a color additive model. That is, when you mix 100 percent of red, green, and
blue, the resultant color is white (additive), and mixing 0 percent of the three colors the
resultant color is black. Fixtures often use the subtractive CMY (Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow)
color model because 0 percent mix of the three colors yield white. Thus, in a fixture with the
color flags removed from the light path produces white. Status Cue converts the RGB colors to
CMY for use with fixtures.
Rotate
Rotate consists of three Construct keys and the <ROTATE> wheel. Use Rotate to set the gobo
rotational speed and direction (forward/reverse) for the gobo that you select from the
ROTATING GOBO group parameter keys. You also set the static or index position of the
selected gobo through 360 degrees in one degree increments.
See also "Rotating gobos."
See also "Gobo indexing."
Rotating gobos
Rotating gobos allow you to continuously rotate any available gobos during projection in a
forward or reverse direction. You can rotate the gobos in various rotation speeds as defined by
the <ROTATE> wheel.
