To stop dynamic states:
If multiple dynamic states are running do one of the following:
• Select each dynamic state running and the stop button .
• Recall a cue that does not have a dynamic state.
When a dynamic state is stopped, the luminaires will return to their last static position
prior to executing the dynamic state.
Dynamic State Attributes
Each dynamic state has three adjustable parameters: orientation, size, and speed.
Orientation
Not implemented in this software version.
Size
Size determines the size of the luminaire’s path during a dynamic state. This can be
adjusted using the Dynamics soft encoder set.
For example, increasing the size of a Figure 8 would result in a larger “8” by enlarging
the path of travel for the luminaires.
Rate
Rate determines the speed the luminaires will move once they are in the dynamic state.
The parameter timing dictates the amount of time the luminaire is to move from its
current position into its dynamic state. This can be adjusted using the Dynamics soft
encoder set.
For example, assume that channels 1 through 10 are placed in a dynamic circle state,
with a size of n and a rate of x. When the dynamic state is stored into a cue, the pan
and tilt parameters for channels 1 through 10 have a delay of 2 seconds and time of 10
seconds. When that cue is played back, the pan and tilt action will hold for 2 seconds.
They will then take 10 seconds to transition from their previous states to the full
position required by the beginning of the dynamic state. When those 10 second have
elapsed, they will begin the standard dynamic state transitions, following the rate
associated with the dynamic state.
Adjusting Parameters
When the Dynamic mode is selected, the screen/window changes to allow selection of
dynamic states. Select states by pressing or clicking the appropriate button. Once a
state has been selected, its orientation, size, and speed can be adjusted using the
manual control soft encoders.
