Movement Options

each other in a horizontal orientation. Off is the
default setting.

coordinate movements between fixtures facing each other in a vertical orientation. Off is the
default setting.
Setting Pan Tilt Swap option On swaps the pan and tilt motor operation to coordinate
movements between fixtures mounted perpendicular to each other. Off is the default setting.
Timeout Options
The Dimmer Iris closes when it stops receiving DMX data for a designated time interval. The
Data Loss Timeout Iris option sets the DMX data loss time interval as Long (5 minutes) or
Short (5 seconds). Short is the default setting.
After 10 minutes of no data, the fixture will shut down the projector and the motion functions.
Fans remain on to maintain the temperature control for the internal graphics engine.
Display Options
The Display field lets you adjust the black level of the Menu display with the following options:
• On is the factory default.
• Preview displays the most recent media change of any Graphic function, when opacity > 0.
The DL-2 Menu screen displays content in both partial and full screen. The Preview function
can be enabled from the DL-2 menu, the CMA, as well as remotely via DMX.
— When Preview is enabled, a partial, full color video is shown on the LCD display along with
the folder, file, and DMX information. If there is no change of content on any Graphic
Function it will automatically switch to full screen mode within 12 seconds.
— The Preview function always shows the latest selected content without any modification of
effects. Preview mode displays movies and still images only. S-video and internal camera
input will not be displayed in the Preview mode.
— The Preview function uses substancial memory and should be turned off when rendering
all three Graphic Object options to ensure high quality playback.
