Luminaire Timing Channel Information
Timing channel control improves the timed moves of certain groups of parameters. We
provide three timing channels, one for Focus (Pan and Tilt), one for color parameters
and one for beam parameters. Timing channels support time values of up to six
minutes.
A timing value of zero is full speed. A time value of 100% (or 255 in DMX) causes the
associated parameter(s) to follow cue fade time (console time) rather than the timing
channel.
Note: The particular storing syntax for your console, as well as instructions on how to
write part cues, can be found in the operation manual for that console.
To use these channels, you must:
Step 1. Create the cue, including color, gobo, edge and diffusion as required.
Step 2. Decide which fixtures and which parameter groups will use timing channels.
Step 3. Assign a value to the particular timing channel(s) you wish to use (for timing
information see chart on next page).
Step 4. Set console timing (or cue fade time) for parameters and timing channels to
zero seconds.
Step 5. Store cue.
