hey, you used one of my lumia pictures ![Wink](images/smilies/wink.png)
if you could maintain servo accuracy, there's no reason this wouldn't work. i have a multi-wheel/multi-aperture device (courtesy of dslijon) that's pretty much exactly what you've pictured.
you could always blank the beams by cutting modulation current or add a servo with a blanking flag before the beam hits the wheel select servo.

I whipped up a quick Visio drawing that shows what I was thinking of trying. The main idea is to use the swing of a single DMX controlled servo to position the beam to the desired effect. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work, so I might try it out. If anyone has tried this before with any notable pros/cons, I would be interested to hear about it.
The main thing I see at first is that it would be nice to toggle the shutter any time that the servo is moving from one position to another. That would avoid the potential for flashing/scrolling thru the effects, rather than being able to transition from one to the next in a clean way. I'll goof with it and see what happens...
Thanks, Mike
suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
