Invert Zoom Option for LED Zoom Wash

[DALX]

Hello Edward

Some of my LED Zoom Washes go from Spot to Wide for DMX 000 to 255, the others go from Wide to Spot. My preference is Spot to Wide so it is easier to see the beam position on a stage. The fixture file for my 7x12w RGBW 4in1 LED Moving Head  has the Zoom selected in Special, but there is no Invert Zoom option showing in Add Fixtures or when using the Fixture. There is Pan/Tilt Invert options available in Add Fixtures. Is it possible to have a Zoom Invert function available without having two different fixture files for the Zoom Wash which has 10 CH and 15 CH DMX modes.

Hi Don,

There is no Zoom invert option available on the console. By default the zoom parameter will be controlled how the fixture manufacturer design it - whether that be wide at 100%, or spot at 100%.

You can however choose the "Invert Output" check box in the Fixture Editor software for any parameter. You could therefore do this for the Zoom parameter of your fixture.

Choosing a special of "Zoom" for a parameter, allows the console to apply it to the Zoom automatic effects.

Hope this helps,

Edward
