Effects

This section describes the effects provided by the ELP Profile fixture. See 'DMX protocol' on page
25 for a full list of the DMX channels and values required to control the different effects.
In 17Ch DMX control mode, all intensity controls are 16-bit. In 10Ch mode all controls are 8-bit.

Dimming

Overall intensity can be precisely adjusted from 0 to 100% using 16-bit coarse and fine control. In
10Ch mode the control is 8-bit. In 1Ch mode this is the only control and the fixture is fixed in white.

Strobe effects

An electronic shutter provides instant open and blackout, random and variable speed flash from 1
to 12 flashes per second, and pulse effects.

CTC

The color temperature of the fixture can be set from 2000K to 10000K using 16-bit coarse and fine
control. When the CTC function is active, the color control channels are not used.

Color mix

The fixture is equipped with Red, Green, Blue, Lime and Amber emitters which can be individually
controlled using 16-bit coarse and fine control.

Color Scene

You can select from a range of fixed color temperatures and LEE color filters. If the Color Scene
function is active the Color mix channels are not used.

Manual focus

The ELP profile has a unique "Fine Focus" system which allows you to easily make small focus
adjustments using a gear-based knob on top of the lens tube. To focus the fixture, loosen the
thumbwheel bolts on the top and bottom of the lens tube slightly, then turn the focus knob to slide
the lens in or out of the tube. Tighten the thumbwheel bolts again to hold the focus setting.

Manual beam shaping shutters

The fixture has 4 manually operated beam shaping shutters.

Use of color filters

Using the color filter frame (supplied with lens tube), you can add color correction or diffusion filters
to the front of the unit. Push the securing clip to one side to release it. Ensure the securing clip is
clicked back into place to prevent the color filter frame from falling out.
