Specifications
The unit is an integrally designed, remote-controlled,
motorized spot luminaire. The head, yoke, and enclosure
housings are constructed of aluminum alloy, plastic and steel
for lightweight strength and durability. Virtually silent, variable
fans shall be used to provide forced-air cooling for internal
components.
The rear cap is removable, providing easy access to the lamp
for replacement. A single AC input connector along with two,
five-pin DMX512 compatible connectors (in and through) are
provided. The unit can be controlled by a wide variety of
DMX512 consoles. In addition, a built-in Master/Slave
function enables operation of multiple luminaires without a
control console.
Each unit is equipped with multiple on-board processors
providing diagnostic and self-calibration functions as well as
internal test routines and software update capabilities. The
unit contains two independent three-phase stepper motors to
provide movement of the head through 540° in the horizontal
plane (pan) and 260° in the vertical plane (tilt). The pan and
tilt mechanisms are belt-driven, providing positional resolution
and repeatability of 0.3° on either axis. Unit shall have integral
pan and tilt transport/service locks.
The unit shall include a CYM color-mixing system using three
wheels which are provided for a broad range of user color
selection. In addition to the CYM system, a fixed color wheel
with eight interchangeable colors is included for specific color
requirements and snap color changes in .14 seconds. The
unit comes equipped with a standard palette of dichroic color
filters (custom colors are available from Vari-Lite).
The unit shall include a fixed gobo wheel that holds 10
interchangeable gobos. The unit shall include a second gobo
wheel containing seven individually rotating indexable gobos.
Its operation is achieved by two motors, which provide
independent drive regardless of the direction of movement.
All seven rotating gobos are easily interchangeable to allow
further customization of the unit. The unit shall come equipped
with 17 standard glass gobo patterns and effects. A wide
selection of gobos are available from Vari-Lite for an additional
charge.
The unit contains a coated glass dimmer wheel that provides
full field dimming and allows for both smooth timed fades and
fast blackouts. A high-performance, dual blade strobe system
is operated with two motors and is capable of various strobe
effects. A mechanical iris provides continuous beam size
control for both rapid changes and smooth timed beam angle
changes. Variable beam focus is provided to soften the edges
of gobos or spots and to provide gobo morphing. A powerful
zoom lens system offers an adjustable field angle from 15° to
36°. When used in combination with the beam size iris, the
unit can project a beam with a field angle of 8°.
The unit shall offer frost capability with an independent,
drop-in armature that holds frost glass. Additionally, unit shall
have a second, independent, drop-in armature that holds a
rotating, four facet, indexable prism. Both the frost and prism
pieces shall be interchangeable. Unit shall have frontal
accessory mounting points for attachment of after-market
accessories such as top hats.
The unit is ETL and ETLc certified and CE marked. Exterior
finish is black.
