all four blades 100% into the beam will result in dead blackout. The fixture is set to PI
mode by default.
● Left/Right (LR) mode gives you individual control of the left-hand and the right-hand
sides of each of the four blades. In this mode, for example, DMX channel 25 gives
control of the left-hand side of blade 1 and channel 26 gives control of the right-hand
side of blade 1.
To use framing, select either Position/Index mode (this mode is selected by default) or
Left/Right mode using either the fixture's control panel or the Special/Control DMX
channel. Then use DMX channels 17 – 24 to control the four framing blades and use
DMX channel 16 to set the indexed angle of the entire framing module.
Iris effect
The fixture uses the four framing blades to create an iris effect that can close the beam
down from 100% to blackout.
If you use framing and the iris effect at the same time, the iris effect is overlaid on top of
the framing function: in other words, you can use framing effects within the area
defined by the iris.
Zoom
The Highlander Wash has a 1:7 zoom range. You can vary the beam angle from 5° to
44° (half-peak) / vary the field angle from 11° to 63° (one-tenth peak).
Control on the Zoom DMX channel is normally from spot to flood as the DMX value
increases. You can invert this using the control panel and the Special/Control DMX
channel so that control becomes flood to spot as you increase the DMX value.
Focus and focus tracking
You can adjust focus on DMX channel 15.
You can also set the fixture to use focus tracking, in which focus automatically adjusts to
match different zoom positions. Focus tracking is enabled by default, letting you
change zoom angles without any need to make adjustments on the focus channel.
It is possible to disable focus tracking completely or to optimize focus tracking for three
different projection distance ranges using the Special/Control DMX channel. Four focus
tracking settings are available:
● Focus tracking OFF sets the zoom and focus DMX channels to control zoom and focus
completely independently of each other.
● Focus tracking NEAR sets focus to automatically adjust for optimum sharpness at
projection distances of around 8 meters or less when the zoom angle is changed.
● Focus tracking MEDIUM sets focus to automatically adjust for optimum sharpness at
projection distances of around 15 meters when the zoom angle is changed. Focus
tracking is set to MEDIUM by default.
● Focus tracking FAR sets focus to automatically adjust for optimum sharpness at
projection distances of over 20 meters when the zoom angle is changed.
If you have enabled Focus tracking NEAR, MEDIUM or FAR you can still override the
automatic focus setting: any manual adjustment that you make on the Focus DMX
channel will take priority over the automatic setting. However, if you change the zoom
