Using the Encoders with Dynamics

When [Dynam] is selected at the soft encoders, the encoders will be
mapped so they can be used to adjust the dynamic settings. Mapping is as
follows:

RATE (5 sec / +1 sec)

w/ [Shift] button pressed - RATE (5 sec / -1 sec)
w/ [Fan] button pressed - RATE (5 sec / fan +1 sec)
This encoder changes the rate of a dynamic on parameters
selected in the Filter window. CCW speeds up the rate, while CW
slows the rate down. The rate can also be fanned.

SIZE (default / autoFit)

This encoder changes the size of a dynamic on parameters
selected in the Filter window. CCW decreases the size, while CW
increases the size. The size can also be fanned.
autoFit - automatically chooses the maximum size dynamic.

OFFSET (min / +120)

w/ [Shift] button pressed - OFFSET (min/-180)
w/ [Fan] button pressed - OFFSET (min/fan +180)
This encoder is used to determine where along the waveform, the
dynamic should start. The Offset is measured in degrees where a
complete waveform is 360 degrees (1 cycle). This function can be
used to create "multi" looks when the offset is fanned across
channels. (Note that the minimum is 0 degrees.)

Example:

1)

Select 20 channels.

2)

Open Function Filter by pressing "filter" in central touch-
screen. Select

Tilt

.

3)

Start dynamic and set rate and speed.

4)

Set a fan.

5)

Press [+120] button (i.e. the lower button) to bring up
offset options:
+30 Degrees, -30 Degrees, +120 Degrees, +180 Degrees, +360 / +1 Cycle, -360 / -1 Cycle.
Selecting one of these options will fan that particular offset evenly across all of the selected
channels. You will now see the luminaire doing a complete single wave. Increasing the offset will
start creating multiple waves. For example, increasing the offset to 720 degrees will make two
waves.

Once one of these options has been selected, the lower OFFSET button will display the selected
option parameter instead of the default (+360). For example, if +120 Degrees is selected, the
OFFSET buttons will now read "min" and "+120".
