0,01 second steps mean refresh everything (data streaming, faders on screen, ...) at 100 Hz !
This is not possible with our current development tools.
We think this is not possible under a basic operating system like Windows or MacOS.
We already saw some lights which have jerky movement, when data refresh is below 100Hz.
We are sorry to tell you that the DMX electronic part of these kind of lights is low quality.
In theory, 20Hz is more than enough for pan/tilt.
The response time of such light is too fast, which is not necessary.
Regarding this problem, they are 3 kinds of lights:
- hight quality lights analyse the target position, and they adapt the speed in order to make a smooth movement
- normal quality lights have a dmx channel reserved to adjust the speed (so we have to ajust this fader for each different movement)
- low quality lights do not analyse anything, and they have no "speed" dmx channel (so dmx data must be very high speed to mask this problem)
