Speed Control - Martin Professional CX-10 Extreme User Manual

Speed control

T R A C K I N G C O N T R O L
Tracking control is enabled by setting the Effects speed channel (10) to 0.
With tracking control, the speed at which effects move is determined by the cross-fade time between two
positions or scenes. The controller divides the move into steps and updates the fixture with small changes
at the rate required to achieve the fade. The fixture "tracks" the changes and averages them with a digital
filter algorithm to provide smooth movement.
V E C T O R C O N T R O L
With vector control, movement speed is determined by the speed values on channel 10. This provides a way
to control speed on controllers without cross-faders. Vector control also provides smoother movement,
particularly at slow speeds, with controllers that send slow or irregular tracking updates.
When using vector control, the cross-fade time must be 0.
B L A C K O U T
When "blackout while moving" is selected on channel 10, the shutter closes when the effect moves to make
the transition invisible. The shutter opens when the movement is complete.
P E R S O N A L I T Y O V E R R I D E S
Channel 10 provides tracking values that allow you to override the shortcuts setting. See the DMX table for
details.
