DMX Protocols

A-7

1

- “Slow” modulation is 4.25 times/sec and “fast” modulation is 255 times/sec, at 50% duty cycle.

2

- You must set the Shutter channel to zero before accessing the Control channel.

3

- When set to Safe, the control channel has no effect if the shutter is closed.

4

- Hold the Control channel at this value for at least one second. Homing the fixture in this way

does not change the state of the lamp (if the lamp was off, it stays off; if the lamp was on, it stays
on).

5

- Hold the Control channel at this value for at least one second. If the lamp is currently off, turning

the lamp on in this way causes the fixture to home. (If the lamp was already on, the command has
no effect.)

6

- Hold the Control channel at this value for at least one second. The lamp will also turn on

whenever you power up the fixture on a link when there is a controller present and it is sending data
commands.

Technobeam-i™ Protocol

Table 2 lists the 18 Technobeam-i constructs and their corresponding DMX controller
values. If you have a numeric-type controller, use the Value Decimal (dec.) column. If
you have a fader-type controller, use the Value Percentage (%) column. If your controller
allows you to program hex values, use the Value (hex) column. The values in the Value
