2.1 Construction
The housing of the
WARP Colour Changer
is made of sturdy aluminium plate to reduce weight. Outer
finish is a scratch resistant matt black epoxy powder coating.
2.2 Motor and Fan
The scrolling of the gel string is controlled by 2 DC Servo Motors which are mounted directly
to the plastic rollers. The motors are operated simultaneously to provide torque which enables
fast, smooth quiet and accurate positioning of the colour filter. Tension on the filter is also
maintained at the optimum level. DC fans provide excellent cooling for gel string extended life.
2.3 Colour Filters
Standard gel string, supplied, has a capacity of 16 frames (15 c clear).
2.4 Scrolling Modes
There are three scrolling modes available: Continuous, Step and Auto Trace.
•
Continuous Mode
The movement of the gel string is divided into 100 steps, and its position is proportional
to the intensity level of the signal on the control channel.
•
Step Mode
The movement of the gel string is divided into 16 steps, each step corresponds to a
separate colour. For approximately every 6.7% change of intensity level of the signal on
the control channel, the gel string will change one colour.
•
Auto Trace Mode
The unit continuously steps through each colour from the first to the last one, and then
back to the first colour on the string.
2.5 Colour changing speed
By employing DC servo motor control technique, fast colour changing speed is achieved.
Minimum time required to scroll from end to the end is 1.5s. In some applications, noise is of
more concern than speed. In this case scrolling speed can be reduced to minimize the noise
of mechanical movement. For example, the slowest speed is 20s, and is achieved by setting
the Gel string Movement setting to (9XX).
2.6 Reset
The colour changer automatically resets when power is applied. During reset, the gel string
rolls to the starting end first, then to the other end, then back to the starting end again to
enter the ready state.
The colour changer can also be reset from a control console. This feature makes life easier
when the colour changer is installed on a truss at the ceiling of the studio.
