PAL 1200 FX
DMX Protocol version 1
All features in the PAL 1200 FX 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
determined by a speed value set on a separate DMX channel. This
channel also allows you to enable tracking mode instead. Tracking
and Vector modes not only apply for mirror movement, but for all
effects where the speed is variable.
| Mode 1 | Mode 2 | Mode 3 | Mode 4 |
| 16 channels. | 18 channels | 20 channels | |
| 8 bitpan / tilt | 16 bitpan / tilt | 8 bitpan / tilt | 16 bitpan / tilt |
| Tracking | Tracking / Vector | ||
Each DMX channel in the PAL 1200 FX is used to provide several different functions depending on where it is set within 0-255 increments. The functions are described in the DMX protocol listed below. If adding the fixture DMX address of the PAL 1200 FX to the DMX channel offset value listed for a certain function, you get the absolute DMX channel which controls that particular function.
