CHAPTER 4 Fixture Programming Gobo Wheel Parameters An intellaspot fixture has two Gobo wheels each with seven rotating lithopatterns™ and effects plus an optional lithopattern for position four on Gobo wheel 1. Each Gobo wheel uses Gobo Function and Gobo Position parameters to control the positioning and rotation of the wheels. Gobo Rotate Function and Gobo Rotate parameters control the individual aperture position and rotation on each wheel. NOTE: Gobo Wheel 1 is located closest to the lens.
CHAPTER 4 Fixture Programming Gobo Function The Gobo 1 and Gobo 2 Function parameters determine how a gobo wheel moves. The Gobo Function parameter can be enabled in either full speed, or MSpeed (MSpeed control of the wheel motor). For more information about MSpeed, see MSpeed (Motor Speed) on page 55. Gobo Function Parameter Options Description Indexed Moves by the quickest path and snaps to the chosen aperture. Forward Wheel Spin Spins the gobo wheel forward at variable speeds.
CHAPTER 4 Fixture Programming Gobo Rotate Two channels for each Gobo Wheel provide 16-bit control for smooth and precise Gobo Rotation. Rotate Coarse and Rotate Fine parameters determine the apertures’ rotation position and speed.
CHAPTER 4 Fixture Programming Effect Parameters The intellaspot fixture has separate 4-facet prism that can be placed and rotated in the optical path and used along with gobo patterns and color mixing. Effect Function The Effect Rotate Function parameter determines how the prism effect wheel moves and can be enabled in either full speed (controller crossfading the wheel positions), or MSpeed (MSpeed control of the wheel motor). For more information about MSpeed, see MSpeed (Motor Speed) on page 55.
CHAPTER 4 Fixture Programming Animation Wheel Parameters The Animation effect wheel is a separate lithopattern wheel providing another effect that can be layered onto the light beam output of an intellaspot fixture.
