‘STROBE’
The Strobe effect produces a regular flashing light. Create a colour in the HOME menu then go to SFX/STROBE. .
Click the centre knob to trigger (start/stop) the strobe effect, or touch the ‘TRIGGER’ activator onscreen (or use
a wireless trigger or a connection to the trigger port). Rotate the centre knob to adjust the strobe speed (it will
display X.X Hz, where = ‘X.X’ = number of strobe cycles per second) the strobe range is from 0.3 Hz up to 7 Hz.
NB - the last used strobe parameters are stored in non-volatile memory.
Rotate the right knob to adjust Brightness. Press and turn the right knob to adjust WIDTH (duty cycle/pulse
duration), this is also known as ‘rolling shutter compensation’, where you can trim out the artifacts associated with
rolling shutters
‘THROB’ (NB: now integrated into CHASE effect)
Throb is a regular smoothly pulsing light effect. It has been integrated into the ‘CHASE’ effect. So if you want to
get a controlled throbbing light (or coloured light), create the colour in HOME, and go to SFX/CHASE to integrate
your custom colour with the throbbing light effect.
‘CYCLE’ (RGB colour cycle)
Colour Cycle is a regular smoothly pulsing light which fades smoothly between the Red, Green and Blue
LEDs. Rotate the centre knob to adjust the effect SPEED (it will display XX which is an indication of the effect
frequency). The cycle SPEED range is from 1 up to 50. Rotate the right knob to adjust brightness.
‘FIRE’
Fire is a complex emulation of a burning fire and it can be tuned to your requirements. Some VFX artists like to
use multiple lights with slightly different settings/gels to achieve a fire with dancing 3D shadows. Choose an
appropriate colour or Gel from HOME/FILTER or HOME/RGBW and then go to SFX/FIRE
Rotate the centre knob to adjust the FLAME flicker frequency (it will display XX which is an indication of the effect
frequency – around 15 is nice for a ‘camp fire’).
Press and turn the centre knob to adjust the Fire effect residual GLOW depth threshold (about 25% is nice for
a ‘camp fire’). (It will display XX % which is an indication of the effect depth). Rotate the right knob to adjust
brightness. You can save the combination of your custom colour and customised effect in any of the SFX preset
buttons ( hold to save, tap to recall)
