DMX PROTOCOL
All features in the PAL are fully DMX implemented. When operating via DMX you can choose between the four modes listed
in the table below. ‘Tracking’ mode means that speed of movement is determined by the slope (change in DMX value per time
unit) generated by the DMX controller - the mirror is tracking this slope. When working in vector mode the speed is deter-
mined by a speed value set on a separate DMX channel. This channel also allows you to enable tracking mode instead. Track-
ing and Vector modes not only apply for mirror movement, but for all effects where the speed is variable.
Each DMX channel in the PAL is used to provide several different functions depending on where it is set within 0-255 incre-
ments. The functions are described in the DMX protocol listed on the following pages.
