PanTiltWRGBCYMLight
Another common DMX controlled light is one with 10 channels that does Pan, Tilt, colors. Show Director Control has provided a TYPE for this light. In this light, the color is determined by an internal color wheel that has 7 colors: White, Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Yellow and Magenta. To specify a color, you need to have the start of the Effect Description have a '#RRGGBB' hexadecimal value. These values are two hex characters each for red, green and blue. So, for example, #FF0000 would be full red. #00FF00 would be full Blue, #00FFFF would be bright cyan, etc. If you provide a duration, the light will turn on for than amount of time and then turn itself off. In addition the light has a swivel head and can be panned or tilted. You can pan through 360 degrees and tilt from 0 to 180. The light can be pan/tilted while the light is off or on.
