### Blade(n)A
34513454

3455+
Use this attribute to describe framing shutters or barndoors of the device. Use
3456+
only the attribute Blade(n)A, when it is controlling insertion of the complete
3457+
framing shutter (n). When looking at the projection from the fixture's point of
3458+
view and the beam is in default position (pointing from +Z to -Z axis) then:

3460+
Blade(1)A - changing its physical value from 0 to 1 means covering the beam from negative to positive values in Y axis
3461+
3462+
Blade(2)A - changing its physical value from 0 to 1 means covering the beam from negative to positive values in X axis
3463+
3464+
Blade(3)A - changing its physical value from 0 to 1 means covering the beam from positive to negative values in Y axis
3465+
3466+
Blade(4)A - changing its physical value from 0 to 1 means covering the beam from positive to negative values in X axis
3467+
3468+
The physical values describe the amount of insertion, where at 0 the blade is completely out and at 1 the blade is fully covering the beam.
3469+
3470+
### Blade(n)B
3471+
3472+
Use this attribute to describe framing shutters or barndoors of the device in
3473+
which the framing shutter is controlled by adjusting its corners. When
3474+
attribute Blade(n)B is used together with the Blade(n)A attribute, then
3475+
attribute Blade(n)A is controlling the insertion of the first corner (A) and
3476+
the attribute Blade(n)B is controlling the insertion of the second corner (B)
3477+
of the framing shutter (n). When looking at the projection from the fixture's
3478+
point of view and the beam is in default position (pointing from +Z to -Z
3479+
axis), the corners A, B are in clockwise order, then:
3480+
3481+
Blade(1)B - changing its physical value from 0 to 1 means moving of the corner from negative to positive values in Y axis
3482+
3483+
Blade(2)B - changing its physical value from 0 to 1 means moving of the corner from negative to positive values in X axis
3484+
3485+
Blade(3)B - changing its physical value from 0 to 1 means moving of the corner from positive to negative values in Y axis
3486+
3487+
Blade(4)B - changing its physical value from 0 to 1 means moving of the corner from positive to negative values in X axis
3488+
3489+
The physical values describe movement of a corner, where at 0 the corner is completely out of the beam and at 1 the corner is fully engaged.

### ShaperRot
3492+
3493+
This attribute allows you to describe a function which rotates the complete
3494+
carousel of framing shutters or barndoors. Rotation from negative to positive
3495+
angle values is counterclockwise when looking at the projection from the
3496+
fixture's point of view.
3497+
3498+
### Blade(n)Rot
3499+
3500+
This attribute describes rotation of framing shutters or barndoors controlled
3501+
by the Blade(n)A attribute only. Rotation from negative to positive angle
3502+
values is counterclockwise when looking at the projection from the fixture's
3503+
point of view.
