The {{Manual_Windowcaption|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 {{Manual_Windowcaption|[[Device_Control_DMXC3|Device Control]]}}.

= 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.

Prism on DMX channel 1:
* No prism at DMX value between 0 and 63.
* 3-facets radial prism at DMX value between 64 and 127.
* Linear 6-facets prism at DMX value between 128 and 191.
* Radial 8-facets prism at DMX value between 192 and 255.

{{Manual Box | en | Hint | 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:
* <code>prismindex</code>: Positioning of the prism at any angle.
* <code>prismrotation</code>: 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.

=== Prism Indexing ===

= 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.

{{Manual Box | en | Hint | For compatibility reasons, it is recommended to represent prism and frost separately using their standalone functions. }}
