To achieve 16-bit pan/tilt control in QLC+, you map coarse and fine DMX channels explicitly within scene definitions. This process uses channelValues to ensure deterministic, reproducible positioning for moving head fixtures.

A phantom sweep pattern is a beat-synced chaser movement applied to moving head fixtures. It uses explicit channelValues to separate pan/tilt movement layers from beam appearance layers, creating dynamic and deterministic light sweeps.

Yes, you can separate movement and look layers in QLC+ scenes. This technique splits pan/tilt control from beam appearance parameters like dimmer and pt_speed, enabling independent layer ownership and clearer base positions.

Yes, QLC+ supports deterministic scene definitions by using explicit channelValues for each fixture parameter. This ensures reliable live performance by providing reproducible results for moving head pan/tilt, pt_speed, and dimmer channels.

To convert degrees to DMX values for moving head positioning, you calculate the proportional value across the 16-bit channel range. This degree-to-DMX conversion enables precise pan/tilt addressing when programming fixtures in QLC+.

Two-channel pan/tilt addressing is needed to achieve 16-bit resolution for moving heads. By using separate coarse and fine channels, you gain the highly precise fixture positioning required for complex phantom sweep and beat-synced chaser patterns.
