Studio Spot features proprietary switching power sup-
plies for the on-board electronics and the lamp power
supply. The fixture automatically operates on all inter-
national voltages at 50 or 60 Hertz without changing a
power tap or making any adjustments.
Full control over all operating parameters of Studio
Spot is achieved via 24 channels of DMX-512 proto-
col. This includes 16-bit accuracy for pan, tilt, and
gobo indexing; and 8-bit accuracy for all other parame-
ters. All parameters are controlled by a built-in Motor-
ola® 68340 microprocessor.
Studio Spot is convection cooled and does not use
fans. This dramatically prevents excess fog, smoke,
and dust particles from being introduced into the opti-
cal system and ensures quiet performance.
The moving yoke design utilizes 16-bit pan and tilt
positioning accuracy over the 370° x 255° range of
movement. The drive systems produce extremely
smooth motion and near silent operation.
Each of the two color wheels support five dichroic
glass filters plus open. Custom color filters may be
ordered from High End Systems and are easily
installed. These dichroic filters are interchangeable
with Studio Color® and Cyberlight®.
Studio Spot can project up to 35 combination patterns
using 10 rotating litho/effects (plus two open) located
on two independent wheels. Each wheel can be
independently indexed and rotated in either direction at
variable speeds. Superior optics support LithoPatterns®
at 3300 dots per inch (d.p.i.). 'Slo' and lenticular glass
effects are standard. Optional and custom
LithoPatterns, effect glass, and prisms are available
and are easily installed. Effect glasses are
interchangeable with Technobeam®, Technopro™,
and Technoray™ fixtures.
