The unit contains a patterned glass dimmer wheel that
provides full field dimming and allows for smooth timed
fades and fast blackouts.
A dual blade strobe and dousing system provides
variable strobe effects capable of rapid operation.
The unit shall be ETL and ETLc certified and
CE-marked. Exterior finish is black.
Specifications
The unit is an integrally designed, remote-controlled, motorized spot luminaire.
The head, yoke and enclosure housings are constructed of aluminum alloy for
light weight, strength and durability. Low-noise fans provide forced-air cooling
for internal components. The rear cap is hinged, providing easy access to the
lamp for replacement.
A single AC input cable along with two, five-pin DMX-512 compatible
connectors (in and through) are provided. The unit can be controlled
from a wide variety of DMX-512 consoles.
Each unit is equipped with an on-board processor 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
270° in the vertical plane (tilt). The pan and tilt mechanisms are belt-driven,
providing positional resolution and repeatability of 0.3° on either axis.
A 6:1 zoom optics system adjusts the projected field angle over a range of
10° to 60°. Variable beam focus is provided to soften the edges of gobos or
spots and to provide gobo morphing. The projected image remains in focus
throughout the entire zoom range.
The unit contains a CYM color mixing system, as well as variable CTO color
temperature correction.
The fixture’s shutter mechanism is comprised of four frame blades that move
independently or in unison on two planes for a crisp, sharp image. The entire
assembly operates in a smooth, time-continuous motion using stepper motors
(two per frame blade and one for the entire mechanism). The shutter mechanism
can rotate 50° in either direction and the frame blades can tilt +/- 30°.
One fixed color filter wheel is included. The color wheel holds six interchangeable
dichroic colors to allow for custom configurations. The unit comes equipped with a
standard palette of dichroic color filters. (Custom colors are available from Vari-Lite.)
Each luminaire has two gobo/effects wheels. One is a six-position rotating gobo
wheel containing individually rotating, indexable gobos and patterned glass
effects. One position on this wheel is open. A second gobo effects wheel is a
seven position, fixed wheel and accepts six gobos with one position open. Each
gobo/effects wheel is such that allows customization of the unit. The unit comes
equipped with a standard set of gobos and effects. (A wide selection of colored
and patterned gobos and effects is available from Vari-Lite.)
