Product Features
All VL4000 Spot Luminaires have the following standard features:
•
Color System: A three filter CYM cross fading system capable of extremely smooth movements at
both slow and fast speeds, and a variable CTO color temperature correction system.
• Fixed Color Wheels: Two opposing fixed color wheels each with five interchangeable color filters
are capable of producing multi-color effects and variable wheel rotations.
• Zoom Optics: A 12-element 5:1 zoom optics system, covering a range from 9° to 47°.
• Beam Size Control: A mechanical iris provides continuous beam size control for rapid and smooth
timed beam angle changes.
• Shutter Control: A four-blade shutter mechanism that allows the blades to be operated
independently or in unison on two planes for a clear and crisp image. The entire mechanism can
rotate 50º in either direction.
• Rotating Gobo Wheels: Two gobo wheels combine to each offer seven rotatable, indexable gobo
positions and one open position.
• Animation Wheels: Two animation wheels each offer unique rotatable, indexable patterns with
variable motion control from horizontal to vertical. Unique Dichro*Fusion pattern is chromatically
tuned to provide endless color effects.
• Rotating Prism: Independent rotating and indexing 3-facet prism with variable deviation control.
• Edge and Pattern Focus: Variable beam focus to soften edges of gobos or spot. Remarkable depth
of field capability allows morphing effects between gobo and animation wheels.
• Variable Frost: Independent variable frost glass with adjustable softness control.
• Intensity Control: Full field dimming designed for smooth timed fades as well as quick dimming
effects.
• Strobe: High-performance dual blade strobe system capable of ultra-fast operation.
• Pan and Tilt: Smooth, time-controlled continuous motion by way of three-phase stepper motor
systems.
• Range: Pan - 540°, Tilt - 270°.
• Accuracy: 0.3° resolution.
