ILS Mode
ILS (Integrated Lighting System) provides 4 modes that synchronize with the GigBAR MOVE+ILS: Modes
1 and 3 synchronize with side 1 of the GigBAR MOVE+ILS, whereas modes 2 and 4 synchronize with side
2 of the GigBAR MOVE+ILS. When linked, effects will sync with the most similar effect on the selected side
of the GigBAR MOVE+ILS: Kinta effects will sync with one of the kintas, moving heads will sync with one of
the moving heads, and wash effects will sync with one of the pars. Laser effects will sync with the laser,
and strobe effects will sync with the strobe effects regardless of ILS mode.
