Luminaire Timing Channel Information
Timing channel control has been developed to improve 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.
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:
Step
1. Create the cue, including color, gobo, edge, diffusion, etc.
Step
2. Decide which fixtures and which parameter groups will use timing channels. (Timing
channels work only if all channels affected by the timing channel are in the same part of the
cue.)
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. Create a part cue containing only the attributes chosen and their associated timing channels.
Store this part cue with a fade time of zero seconds.
Step
5. Store the rest of the cue using console timing.
