CHAPTER 5
Fixture Control
34 StudioPix™ Pixelation Luminaire User Manual
Macros
The Macro parameter controls Internal Effects™ macros. These are factory-programmed
sequences that allow you to quickly program complicated looks in one scene (cue). Each
Internal Effect™ macro modifies a specific set of parameters, while allowing user control of all
other parameters in the scene. The amplitude of the position macro movement is determined by
the Pan Coarse channel and Tilt Coarse channel, respectively. The MSpeed channel controls the
speed of the macros. You can choose from the following Macros:
• Pan sweep, small to large angle
• Tile Sweep, small to large angle
• Clockwise circle, small to large
• Counterclockwise circle, small to large
With the MSpeed set at the default value of DMX 0-4, an Internal Effects macro completes its
movement in approximately 2.5 seconds. This provides a pleasing look when the additional
variation given by using the MSpeed channel is not required. With the MSpeed set between DMX
5-255, Internal Effects macros complete movement at the selected MSpeed time (up to 25
seconds).
Control Function Options
The Control parameter remotely initiates various fixture operations.
Note: All of the following Control parameter settings (except for the Safe and
Outrig mode options), require that the Dim channel value equals zero.

bring it back into operation.

Outrig Mode
This option applies to SHOWPIX fixtures only. For more information,
see Chapter 2: Setup and Configuration in the SHOWPIX User
Manual. It insures uninterrupted movement of pan and tilt for fixtures
side mounted or in acute angular positions.
Because this is a DMX mode, it will not persist in the fixture.
