These will require macro speed and x fade channels. The macros will operate independently. The Xfade and speed channels act as multipliers of the programmed speed in the discrete macro steps. Speed / X fade channel operation stops playback or crossfade 1- decreases playback speed / crossfade time (* <1) 128 playback or cross fade speed is as programmed (*1) 129- increases playback speed / crossfade time (* >1) 3 Synchronous Random Strobes are synchronous across fixtures. 4 Fan control modes are retentive. When the fixture is turned off it will retain the selected fan mode. 5 Reserved ranges should function according to the controller default value. 6 Framing blades arranged according to chart below. 7 Outrig Mode is retentive. When the fixture is turned off it will retain the selected outrig mode. 8 RDM Manufacturers ID: x4c52 9 RDM Device ID: x5c3 * 217 High End Systems all rights reserved.
