Effectwheel (DDF-Syntax) DMXC3 | Article describes DMXControl 3.2.0 |
|
The Prism divides the light beam into additional beams depending on its design. Control of the prism and its functions in DMXControl 3 is exclusively through the Device Control.
Contents
Prism
A prism divides the light beam multiple times. This function is commonly found in moving heads and scanners in various configurations, ranging from a simple static prism to multiple prisms with different numbers of facets that can rotate and be positioned.

The associated files for the optional icons of the prisms must be stored in the same directory as the icons for the gobos. |
Additional Functions
For individual functions of the prism channel, the following additional functions are possible:
prismindex
: Positioning of the prism at any angle.prismrotation
: Continuous rotation of the prism in various directions.
These additional functions can be accessed in two different ways:
- For controlling the additional functions, one or more separate DMX channels are used.
- The additional functions are on the same DMX channel as the prism itself.

Effect Wheel
The effect wheel combines several different effects on one wheel. These include various prisms, frost filters, or color correction filters that can be combined on a single effect wheel.
For compatibility reasons, it is recommended to represent prism and frost separately using their standalone functions. |
