6.13.1.8 Effect Modes
There are two effect modes available. They offer a comprehensive control of the built in
standalone engine. Settings that can otherwise only be changed on the LCD menu or by the
AsteraApp™ can be directly adjusted by DMX. The two effect modes only differ in the way
the color palette of four colors is set: either by RGB or by a single channel, like a color wheel.
In that case, common gels can be selected directly. Strobe is always enabled for the effect
modes.

the unit.

OFFSET:

If SIZE is set to >1 group, the units pixels can be shifted within the virtually larger
program. Increasing the OFFSET parameter scrolls the position of the unit within the virtual large program.
