Introduction
The Coloram IT system includes a scrolling color changer and PS Power Supply, that
uses Remote Device Management (RDM) bi-directional communications protocol, in a
range of models and offers an ease of setup and use. The Coloram IT system is part of
the InfoTrace system that represents a new way of managing a lighting installation.
The Coloram IT system, with its variable color capacity, RDM features and DMX
compatibility affords the designer economy and versatility, particularly when budget and
space are limited. The lightweight color changers slide easily into the gel frame holder of
the light fixture. The compact power supplies attach effortlessly to the truss of the lighting
rig or mount into a 19-inch rack.
The DMX512 control signal from the lighting console is connected through the InfoGate
Gateway and dimmers to the PS Power Supply, and can continue on to additional PS
Power Supplies or other DMX-controlled devices. The power supply sends power, DMX
control signal and RDM information to the color changers on a single cable, eliminating
the need for a separate power cable for the color changers.
Coloram IT color changers are 100% compatible with all members of the Coloram IT
family including CXI IT color changers, PS Power Supplies, the Eclipse IT Dowser and
Eclipse II IT Dowser. You can also daisy chain Coloram IT color changers with other
Coloram IT equipment.
This manual gives step-by-step instructions for preparation, setup and operation of the
Coloram IT Color Changer as part of the InfoTrace system.
