  • Page 4: Safety Instructions

    FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE READ THIS USER MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE POWERING OR INSTALLING YOUR DIGITALSPOT 3000 DT ! Save it for future reference. This device has left our premises in absolutely perfect condition. In order to maintain this condition and to en- sure a safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to follow the safety instructions and warning notes written in this manual.

  • Page 5: Unpacking

    Never switch the fixture off by pulling out the power plug from the socket otherwise the fixture may be damaged (projector lamp, operating system...)! 2. Unpacking The DigitalSpot 3000 DT is packaged in either a cardboard box or one-unit (two-unit) flight case to protect the product during shipment. The following items are included:...

  • Page 6: Introduction

    Linux and DirectX application programming interface to provide extensive image control of graphic objects. The Digital spot 3000 DT uses DMX512 protocol to control hardware functions like pan, tilt, and focus, as well as media fixture capabilities including loading images and movies. The graphics engine allows you manipulate position, scale, rotation, apply visual effects and colour mix each image.

  • Page 7: Placing Fixture Head Covers

    1. A DMX controller can switch off the projector lamp and shut down the fixture with the "Lamp Off, Fixture Off" option on the control channel 8 (see DMX protocol). 2. The option "Fixture Off" in main menu of DigitalSpot 3000 DT switches off the projector´s lamp and shuts down the fixture.

  • Page 8: Positioning The Digitalspot 3000 Dt

    Note: There is 3% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. We recommend that if you intend to permanently install the DigitalSpot 3000 DT, you should physically test the projection size and distance using the actual fixture in m before you permanently install it, so as to make allowance for this projector's optical characteristics.

  • Page 9: Changing The Zoom

    8.1 Changing the zoom 1. Turn the power off and if the projector lamp was on, wait 10 minutes until the projector has cooled. 2. Remove the top cover of the fixture head by loosening the four quarter-turn fasteners (1). 3.
  • Page 10 IMPORTANT! Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including calculation of working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the fixture. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and or damage to property.

  • Page 11: Dmx-512 Connection

    10. DMX-512 connection The fixture is equipped with both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. The sockets are wired in parallel. Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 and 3-pin or 5-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.

  • Page 12: Ethernet Connection

    A Universe is a single DMX 512 frame of 512 channels. The DigitalSpot 3000 DT is equipped with 8-pin RJ- 45 socket for Ethernet input.Use a network cable category 5 (with four “twisted” wire pairs) and standard RJ-45 plugs in order to connect the fixture to the network.

  • Page 13: Folder Organization

    12. Folder organization The library structure is reflected on the hard drive where all files for the library are stored. The whole library is contained within a special folder called ‘Media’. Inside the Media folder is a collection of folder (000,001...240) each named with a 3-digit number. Each folder following this convention represents a library folder and the 3-digit number represents the name of the folder.

  • Page 17: Operating Modes

    14. Operating modes Before operating the DigitalSpot 3000 DT from a DMX 512 controller, you need to define the source of DMX data, which may be: DMX 512 - data is transmitted over standard DMX cables. Set a valid DMX start address, which is defined as the first channel from which the DigitalSpot 3000 DT will respond to the controller.
