Beam Shaping
Studio Color utilizes lenticular, frost, and convex lenses to refract light
without decreasing light output. This allows for a wide variety of beam
shaping effects beyond the possible combinations from mechanical systems.
The system uses two independent effect wheels to accomplish this task. The
following options are available on their respective wheels:
Effects Wheel 1:Beam Shaping (DMX channel 10)
• Variable wide angle lens
• Variable narrow horizontal to wide vertical beam shaping
Effects Wheel 2: Beam Shaping (DMX channel 11)
• Variable frost lens
• Variable narrow vertical to wide horizontal beam shaping
