Y Rotation
The Y Rotation parameter rotates or indexes the selected Graphic Object around the Y axis 
with 16-bit precision. You can index the rotation or set a continuous rotation creating a 
horizontal flip at variable speeds.
This parameter lets you view an object from a different angle by turning the object. You can also 
view an object from a different angle by changing the viewpoint in space for the composite 
image, (see Global Viewpoint Mode on page 120).
Default DMX Value: 32768 (50%)= No Y Rotation

Range
Function
1–24 
Continuous variable-speed counterclockwise image rotation around Y-axis (fast to slow)
25
Continuous rotation stop
26–49
Rotates the image counterclockwise around Y-axis in steps to –720 degrees 
50
0° rotation around Y-axis
51–74
Rotates the image clockwise around Y-axis in steps to 720 degrees absolute
75
Continuous rotation stop
76–100
Continuous variable-speed clockwise image rotation around Y-axis (slow to fast)
Tip: Using this parameter you can turn one object through another
Original Object 1 and Object 2
Y-axis rotation applied to Object 2
