MAC Aura user manual
The
random sync
option changes the duration of FX repeat cycles in a random pattern. Cycle duration is
random, but it is always changed by the same amount for FX1 and FX2 so that FX remain synchronized.
The overall speed of this synchronized effect is controlled on channel 16.
The
random no sync
option changes the duration of FX effect cycles in a random pattern, and FX1 and
FX2 are not synchronized. The speed of FX1 and FX2 effects are controlled independently on channels 16
and 18 respectively.
FX priority and overriding
If an FX is activated, it overrides any other settings for the parameters that the FX modifies. For example, an
FX that modifies the zoom will override any zoom angle set on the zoom channel (DMX channel 3).
If the same FX is selected on both the
FX1 select
and
FX2 select
channels, only the
FX1 adjust
channel is
active. The
FX2 adjust
channel is ignored.
If different FX are selected on the
FX1 select
and
FX2 select
channels, FX2 is superimposed onto FX1 and
FX2 overrides FX1 whenever both FX modify the same parameter.
RDM
RDM (Remote Device Management) is implemented in the MAC Aura and RDM communication is possible
over the DMX data link. As provided for in the ANSI/ESTA E1.20 RDM protocol, the fixture can send
information about its RDM-accessible parameters to an RDM control device.
