CURVES
The dimmer curve can be changed from exponential (square) to linear. The exponential curve
(factory setting) causes the dimmer to fade in and out more smoothly.
CAMERA MODE
To avoid flickering during TV recordings, the Sparx 18/30 can be adjusted from 50 Hertz (PAL,
Secam) to 60 Hertz (NTSC) for different camera systems. Flex mode (600Hz) is set when using
different camera systems or when shooting with mobile phone cameras or similar non-profes-
sional cameras. The factory setting of the Sparx 18/30 is 60 Hertz. The changeover is also pos-
sible with the light mixing console via the control channel.
COOLING MODE
In the COOLING MODE menu item you can set the fan control, the speed of the effects and the
brightness of the Sparx 18/30. The following settings are available.
THEATRE WHISPER: Brightness reduced, all effect/pan/tilt speeds are minimal and therefore run
very quietly. In this mode, the spotlight runs at the same brightness up to an ambient tempera-
ture of 60°C. It is not necessary to run the fans in this mode.
STANDARD: Brightness max. LED power, all zoom/pan/tilt speeds run at full speed. From an
ambient temperature of approx. 40°C, the fans run to cool the LED accordingly. The brightness
remains constant up to 60° ambient temperature.
There is no danger to the life of the device in any mode, as the Sparx 18/30 has a temperature
safety shutdown. In addition, the LEDs are switched off from an ambient temperature of 60°C.
4.6 STANDALONE operation
In standalone operation, up to 20 program steps can be stored in the Sparx 18/30, which can
then run in an endless loop. The images can be saved in two ways. Either you program the de-
sired DMX values directly on Sparx 18/30 and save them, or you set the DMX values via a con-
nected DMX console and then store them in the Sparx 18/30.
The menu items MODIFY, RUN and REMOTE can only be called up using a specific key combi-
nation. To do this, press and hold “ENTER”, and also press “ESC”. Before activating these menu
items, remove all other devices in the DMX line that send DMX, e.g. consoles or other spotlights
that are not configured as slave devices, as otherwise damage to the DMX drivers may occur.
Programming the standalone programme on the spotlight display:
Call up the STANDALONE, EDIT menu item. In the STEP NR+/- menu item, select the desired
step and you can change it and its channel parameters in the following menu items: In the MODI-
FY menu item, set the desired lighting scene and position and determine the individual sequence
times of the steps with FADE TIME and NEXT TIME (time for the complete step).
Use INSERT to insert an additional programming step. The DMX values of the previous step are
copied to the new step.
Use DELETE to delete a step. The display shows STEP NR: 1/X. Use the selection keys to move
to the desired step.
