FADE TIME ASSIGN (OPTIONAL SETUP)
You can choose whether the board’s fade time during scene execution is implemented broadly to all
output channels or only to the Pan and Tilt movement channels. This is relevant because often you
will want gobos and colors to change quickly while not affecting the movement of the light.

(A) or select channel Pan & Tilt only (P)
5) Press BL
ACKOUT and TAPSYNC to save
settings. All LED’s will blink to confirm.
