6. Controller mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data link and connected to the controller.The fixtures respond to the
DMX signal from the controller.
6.1 DMX addressing
There are 512 available channels on DMX link.Every fixture on DMX link must have a DMX start address, which
is defined as the first channel from which the fixture will respond to the controller.
If you set ,for example, for the COLORSPOT 1200 AT the start address to channel 25, the COLORSPOT 1200 AT
will use the channels 25 to 48 for control (if Mode 1 is selected from "DMX Preseting" menu).
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each COLORSPOT 1200 AT
correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more COLORSPOT 1200 AT are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all COLORSPOT 1200 AT , you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note:After switching on, the COLORSPOT 1200 AT will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received
or not.If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the display will start to flash with actually address.
This situation can occur if:
- the 3(or 5) pin XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from the controller) is not connected with the input of the
COLORSPOT 1200 AT
- the controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap in the
input connector.
6.2 Remotely controllable functions
Lamp
The COLORSPOT 1200 AT is to be operated with a Philips MSR 1200 SA lamp.
A relay inside of the COLORSPOT 1200 AT allows you to switch on and off the lamp via the control panel or via
your DMX-controller without affecting the rest of the lighting.
Note: It is also important to note, that the discharge lamp is cold restrike types, that means, that they have to be
cold before re-striking. For this reason, you have to wait at least 5 minutes after having switched off the lamp
before you can switch it back on again. If you try to switch On the lamp within 5 minutes after having switched it
Off, the COLORSPOT 1200 AT will store this information and automatically ignite the lamp when the 5 minutes
period has expired.
CMY-colours mixing system
The CMY color mixing system is based on graduated cyan, magenta, and yellow color filters. A continuous range
of colors may be achieved by varying the amount of each filter from 0 to 100%.
Colour temperature correction filtre lowers the colour temperature from 5600K to 3200 K.
Colour wheel
The COLORSPOT 1200 AT features a colour wheel with 4 colour positions,UV filter and 6000 K temp.filter and
the hole (open).It is also possible to rotate the colour wheel continuously at different speeds, the so-called
"Rainbow effect“ is created.Auto random colour selection,random colour selection by audio control is possible.
Rotating gobo wheel 1
The rotating gobo wheel includes 6 dichroic glass gobos rotating in both directions at different speeds. All rotating
gobos are replaceable and fine indexable.
Rotating gobo wheel can continuously rotate in both directions from slow to fast speed.
Rotating gobo wheel 2
The rotating gobo wheel includes 1 glass gobo and 5 dichroic glass gobos rotating in both directions at different
speeds. All rotating gobos are replaceable and fine indexable.
Rotating gobo wheel can continuously rotate in both directions from slow to fast speed.
Effect wheel
This wheel provides 3-facet prism,5-facet prism and 2 glass effects rotating in both directions at different
speeds.Prism/gobo macros are possible.
