Z Rotation
The Z Rotation parameter rotates or indexes the selected Graphic Object around the Z axis
with 16-bit precision. You can index the rotation or set a continuous rotation creating a circular
spin at variable speeds.
Default DMX Value: 32768 (50%)= No Z Rotation

1–24
Continuous variable-speed counterclockwise image rotation around Z-axis
(fast to slow)
25 Continuous rotation stop
26–49 Rotates the image counterclockwise around Z-axis in steps to –720 degrees
50 0° rotation around Z-axis
51–74 Rotates the image clockwise around Z-axis in steps to +720 degrees
75 Continuous rotation stop
76–100 Continuous variable-speed clockwise image rotation around Z-axis (slow to fast)
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).
Tip: Using this parameter you can turn one object around another
