Index/Rotation
The gobo wheels operate in two modes: INDEX Mode and ROTATE Mode. The corresponding values
are given in the DMX Map Tables below. Gobos will also behave as follows:
•
Gobo wheels will only stop at whole images.
•
It is not necessary for the wheel to complete a full revolution to change a gobo from indexing
mode to rotating mode.
•
Timed moves are only available using the Gobo Time channel (27).
•
Spins are variable from DMX 217-236 for CCW fast to slow, and 237-255 for CW slow to fast.
The Gobo Index function utilizes 16-bit control which offers enhanced resolution whether in INDEX
or ROTATE mode.
