Studio Color LCD Controller

Programming Hints

3-3

Beam Shaping

The Lens 1 and Lens 2 constructs (corresponding to the two

Studio Color effects wheels) control beam shaping. Each

effects wheel has four positions (three effects plus open).

The three effects positions include beam shaping plus one

other effect, as described below:

Lens 1 (see “Lens 1 Key” on page 3-11):

• Beam shaping: A long, narrow beam rotates into a

short, fat beam.

• Wide angle: The “effect” position is wide angle—a

large beam diameter with defined edges.

Lens 2 (see “Lens 2 Key” on page 3-16):

• Beam shaping: A long, narrow beam rotates into a

short, fat beam.

• Frost: The “effect” position is frost—soft,

undefined beam edges.

Random and Synchronized Effects

Unsynchronized (random) effects mean different fixtures are

doing different things (“strobing” and/or changing colors) at

the same time. These built-in effects require no additional

programming.

Random (Unsynchronized) Effects

• Shutter strobing: Fixtures “strobe” at rates you set. See

“Gate Key” on page 3-9.

• Random color changes: Fixtures rapidly “snap” to

colors at rates you set. See “Color Key” on page 3-15.

Synchronized Color Changes

Smooth crossfading between colors at rates you set. See

“Color Key” on page 3-15.
