Y Rotation
The Y Rotation parameter rotates or indexes the selected Graphic Object around the Y axis
with 16-bit precision. You can index the rotation or set a continuous rotation creating a
horizontal flip at variable speeds.
This parameter lets you view an object from a different angle by turning the object. You can also
view an object from a different angle by changing the viewpoint in space for the composite
image, (see
Global Viewpoint Mode on page 120).
Default DMX Value: 32768 (50%)= No Y Rotation

Range
Function
1–24 Continuous variable-speed counterclockwise image rotation around Y-axis (fast to slow)
25 Continuous rotation stop
26–49 Rotates the image counterclockwise around Y-axis in steps to –720 degrees
50 0° rotation around Y-axis
51–74 Rotates the image clockwise around Y-axis in steps to 720 degrees absolute
75 Continuous rotation stop
76–100 Continuous variable-speed clockwise image rotation around Y-axis (slow to fast)
Tip: Using this parameter you can turn one object through another
Original Object 1 and Object 2
