Timing Channels
Channel Functions
Timing channel control improves the timed moves of certain groups of parameters. We provide three
timing channels, one for Focus (Pan and Tilt), one for color parameters and one for beam parameters.
Timing channels support time values of up to six minutes.
A timing value of zero is full speed. A time value of 100% (or 255 in DMX) causes the associated
parameter(s) to follow cue fade time (console time) rather than the timing channel.
