Stage effects include fog and wind generated by a fan. Control of these functions in DMXControl 3 is exclusively through the Device Control.


Fog

The fog function controls the intensity of fog output, both in simple fog machines and hazers.

Variant Code
Standard with continuous increase of fog output
<fog dmxchannel="0" />

Fog output on channel 1 with linearly increasing intensity.

Fog output adjustable only in a partial range
<fog dmxchannel="0">
  <step type="stop" mindmx="0" maxdmx="0" />
  <range type="fog" mindmx="32" maxdmx="255" minval="50" maxval="100" />
</fog>

Fog output on DMX channel 1:

  • No fog output at DMX value between 0 and 31.
  • Fog output with increasing intensity from 50% at DMX value 32 to 100% at DMX value 255.

Fan

The fan function controls the airflow of a fan. This can be either the fan in a hazer or a DMX-controlled wind machine.

Variant Code
Adjustable fan speed
<fan dmxchannel="0" />

Fan on DMX channel 1 with increasing speed from 0% at DMX value 0 to 100% at DMX value 255.

Switched fan
<fan dmxchannel="0">
  <step val="false" mindmx="0" maxdmx="127" />
  <step val="true" mindmx="128" maxdmx="255" />
</fan>

Switched fan on DMX channel 1:

  • Fan off at DMX value between 0 and 127.
  • Fan on at DMX value between 128 and 255.
