Addresses the review on #3724: both modes complete, with pan 0-540 and tilt 0-180 degrees, ShutterStrobe and Maintenance types, Color Changer category, no RDM IDs, physical properties taken from the manual, added links to video/manual/product, fixed the manufacturer's name and website.

I checked the manual against a fixture (menu settings PA54, Ti27) to see what it actually did.

Where my fixture differs from the manual and values I tested:

  • 9-channel master: off 0-7, dimming 8-134, strobe 135-239, on 240-255.
    The manual prints 0-8, 8-135, 136-240, and 241-255 ("Power ON/OFF").
    The 14-channel dimmer/strobe matches the manual and behaves the same.

  • 14-channel dimmer/strobe 0-7: light off, where the manual says "No Effect".

  • 14-channel reset: 150, 175, and 200 reset; 201 and 255 do not. The manual prints 150-255. Both modes 150-200 appear to trigger a reset. The reset fires once on entering the range, then the head resumes whatever is being sent on other channels.

  • 14-channel ch-11 colour assortments: 0-7 shows the colour channels colour, not a preset.
    8-231 sweeps smoothly through colours (loose description by eye: yellow-green, orange, red, magenta, violet, blue, cyan, green, white, lavender, violet) rather than the 17 fixed "Color Assortments" printed.
    232-255 ("Color Saltus") jumps between colours.

  • 14 channel ch12 Colour Speed from about one jump every 2-3s at 0 to about 3 a second at 255.

  • Pan/tilt speed (9 channel ch 8, 14 channel ch 5): 0 is fastest, 255 slowest.

The only failing check seems to be a dead link in OFL's README, outside this change.
