5.3 Effects
The effects tools provided on the Tiger are aimed at aiding with programming speed. There are
two types of effect, Movement and Fan.
The Movement function allows you to quickly program a circle or a square. You can change the
size of the X and Y parameters and you can also set the speed. By varying the X and Y values it
is possible to generate ellipses, quads or simple straight lines.
The Fan function allows you to quickly offset lights. It is a quick way of programming a rainbow
colour effect, setting different lights to different shutter speeds or setting offsets on pan and tilt.
The best way to understand the power of the effects engines is to use them and play with the
different settings.
To access the effects you need to be in program mode and have selected the lights that you
want to work with. You then need to select the Channel soft-key to bring up the following menu:

memory. It allows for instance a color change with out changing the effect.
