Pan And Tilt; Speed Control - Martin MAC 2000 Wash User Manual

Pan and tilt

The yoke pans 540° and the head tilts 267°. For maximum positioning accuracy, select 16-bit mode.
The pan/tilt speed (fast, norm, or slow) may be selected on the pan/tilt speed channel. Setting the pan/tilt
speed channel to "blackout" causes the shutter to black out the light while the head is moving.

Speed control

There are two ways to control the speed at which effects move from one static position to another. These
are known as tracking control and vector control and are selected on the Pan/Tilt Speed and Effect Speed
Channels. These channels are independent so you may, for example, combine a vector control pan
movement with a tracking control color fade.
In tracking mode, speed is determined by the cross-fade time. The controller continuously sends small
position changes that the fixture "tracks." To enable tracking mode, set the relevant speed channel to a
tracking value. Note that in addition to enabling tracking control, some tracking values also provide
overrides of the menu settings.
In vector mode, speed is set directly on a speed channel. The cross-fade time must be 0. Vector control
provides a way to set speed on controllers that do not have programmable fade times and results in smooth
movement regardless of the cross-fade time or the controller's processing power.
