Fan

Overview

The Line Dance Fan effect coordinates the pan of a group intelligent fixtures to make fan shape with the light beams. This effect pans pairs of intelligent fixtures. The amount of pan increases from the center of the collection of fixtures. The intelligent fixtures on both ends have the most pan.

This effect should be used with color effect like Set Level. This effect also works well when the Tilt is modified with the Set Position effect.

Configuration

• Fan Mode - Selects the type of fan.

  • Synchronized - All intelligent fixtures in the collection synchronously start their pan at the beginning of the effect and complete the pan at the end of the effect’s duration.
  • Staggered - The fan is performed by panning pairs of intelligent fixtures. Starting with the center two fixtures and moving outward. Generally only two fixtures are moving at any given time.
  • Concurrent - All the intelligent fixtures start their pan at the start of the effect and finish based on the degrees of pan.

• Pan Increment - Controls the Pan angle increment between each fixture. This curve or slider determines how much each pair of intelligent fixtures are panned. The first pair are panned the increment. The second pair are panned 2 times the increment. The third pair are panned 3 times the increment and and so on.

• Fan Direction - Controls intelligent fixture fan direction (Fan From Center or Fan From Edges).
