Description
The Followspot 1200 is a DMX compatible follow spot fixture that uses a 1200 W metal
halide lamp and features a high efficiency optical assembly, a high quality dichroic color
wheel and an external console.
This fixture consists of a housing unit that contains the power supply, the control panel,
the lamp and the optical assembly. The housing has a yoke for tripod mounting. The
Followspot 1200 ships with an external console already mounted on its handle. In
addition, the Followspot 1200 includes a stand-alone, adjustable height tripod.
The 5-pin DMX input and output sockets for DMX connectivity are on the control panel,
while there is another 5-pin XLR socket dedicated to the external console. The
Followspot 1200 features a bright 4-digit display and four buttons to perform all its
programming functions.
The external console features four sliders and several buttons to control the fixture in a
stand-alone fashion. However, the user can connect the Followspot 1200 to a DMX
daisy chain data link to control it from a standard DMX controller, along with other DMX
compatible fixtures.
