Note
Mirroring is not available in all places a "Mirror/Flip" channel appears. In such cases just the first 4 options apply.

10.5.16

Number

The DMX channel value is used as sent, with no decoding.

Note that the media start and end frame parameters use 3 channels. Their range is therefore 0 to 16777215 (2

24

-1). At a typical

frame rate of 30 frames a second, the largest value corresponds to 155 hours, or nearly 6½ days. Although this might seem
excessive, it does mean that points within a media file can be specified with frame accuracy regardless of length or speed.

Values greater than the number of frames in the clip are taken to mean “the end”. i.e. a 200 frame clip will restart at 200 frames,
rather than 6½ days later, if the end frame is left at the default of 16777215.

Note
Changing between Scroll and Scroll to Index does not reset the position, so they can be combined to give static and moving
scrolls.
