A numeric value such as [@ 4] is set to specify the number
of screens into which the screen is divided for strobe image
display.
When @ is given to a numeric value: The strobe image
is sequentially displayed only once on each of the
screens divided according to the value.
When R is given: It is repeated to sequentially display the
strobe image on each of the screens divided according
to the value.
Set [TIME] (strobe duration) in the range of [2] to [124]
using the rotary 5 control.
Time can be changed in 2 steps.

 NOTE
• When any of the following patterns is selected, only one
choice can be made from SOFT, BORDER, and SOFT
BORDER for multi-strobe and pattern edge. The effect
selected last has priority, and the previously selected effect
is canceled.
Nos. 1541 to 1550 (32 to 35, 130 to 133, and 141 to 142)
Nos. 3304, 3314, and 3324
• Either strobe or still can be selected. Whichever is selected
later has priority and the other selected earlier is canceled.
• Either multi-strobe or scene grabber can be selected.
Whichever is selected later has priority and the other
selected earlier is canceled.
• The multi-strobe effect cannot be enabled for both A/PROG
and B/PRESET at the same time. The setting made last has
priority and the other made earlier is disabled.
• When the still or strobe (including multi-strobe) effect is
activated, selecting a two-dimensionally compressed pattern
cancels the still or strobe effect. When a two-dimensionally
compressed pattern is selected, applying the still or strobe
effect changes the pattern being used to the MIX(56) pattern.
