  • Page 4: Safety Instructions

    CAUTION! Keep this device away from rain and moisture! Unplug mains lead before opening the housing! FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE READ THIS USER MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU INITIAL START - UP! 1. Safety instructions Every person involved with installation and maintenance of this device have to: - be qualilfied - follow the instructions of this manual CAUTION!

  • Page 5: Operating Determinations

    2.Operating determinations If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature. Do not shake the device.

  • Page 6: Video Inputs

    The head can be locked for transportation- the tilt lock button (5) is pushed and the pan lock/unlock lever (2) is in lock position. To unlock the head, press the tilt unlock button (6) and move the pan lock/unlock lever to unlock position.

  • Page 7: Powering On The Digitalspot 5000 Dt

    5. Powering on the DigitalSpot 5000 DT To power on the fixture,simply connect it to the AC mains supply (the power switch on the rear side of the fixture has to be in "On" position). 6. Shutting down the DigitalSpot 5000 DT There are two recommended ways to shutdown the fixture: 1.A DMX controller can switch off the projector lamp and shut down the fixture with the "Lamp Off,Fixture Off"...

  • Page 8: Rigging The Fixture

    8. Rigging the fixture Please consider the respective national norms during the installation! The installation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer! The installation of the fixture has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation.
  • Page 9 Fixation via the omega holders 1. Bolt each clamp (1) to the omega holder (4) with M12 bolt and lock nut through the hole in the holder. 2. Fasten the omega holders on the bottom of the base by inserting both quick-lock fasteners (3) into the holes of the base and tighten fully clockwise.

  • Page 10: Dmx-512 Connection

    9. 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 11: Ethernet Connection

    10. Ethernet connection The fixtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with Art-Net communication protocol.The controlling software from PC (or lighting console) has to support Art-Net protocol. Art-Net communication protocol is based on the TCP/IP.Its purpose is to allow transfer of large amounts of DMX 512 data over a wide area using standard network technology.

    Software Update --- This menu enables update graphical software or hardware processors. You have to download the latest version of the DigitalSpot 5000 DT software from ROBE website to your hard disk and then use the Ethernet network or the USB stick to move this file to the relevant folder in the DigitalSpot 5000 DT.

  • Page 57: Media Content Management

    17.Media content management As you seen earlier in chapter "7. Folders organization",the DigitalSpot 5000 DT use the root folder named "Media".This folder contains subfolders (000,001...240) and inside each subfolder is the collection of media that the subfolder holds.The files in subfolders are alphabetized and associated with DMX values.The first part of the file name should be a a 3-digit number followed by an underscore and a name e.g.: 001_sun.....

  • Page 58: Keystones

    If all settings are correct,you will see "Media" and "Update" folders in Windows explorer window and now you can work with them as with local folders and files. The second way, how to add or remove files from the subfolders is by means of USB stick-see "USB Data Synchronization"...

  • Page 59: In Frame And Out Frame Parametres

    use channel 21(KeyStone X-ratio) for correction use channel 22 (KeyStone Y-ratio) for correction 19.In Frame and Out Frame parametres You can select any segment of a video file for playback by assigning parametres for In Frame (start point) and an Out Frame (end point) as pictured below. The In Frame parameter corresponds to a 16-bit DMX value equal to a starting point for the playback segment of the selected video file.

  • Page 67 26. Maintenance 26.1 Cleaning It is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean and that dust, dirt and smoke-fluid residues must not build up on or within the fixture. Otherwise, the fixture‘s light-output will be significantly reduced. Regular cleaning will not only ensure the maximum light-output, but will also allow the fixture to function reliably throughout its life.
  • Page 68 Replacing the air filter in the fixture base. 1)Disconect the fixture from power. 2)Remove a side fans cover by loosening the 4 quarter-turn fasteners. 3)Remove the air filter from the cover. 4)Clean or replace the air filter. 5)Place the filter on the fans cover and fix this cover back on the base. 6)Reset item "Time To Cleanup Filters"...
  • Page 69 26.4 Changing the projector If you need to take out the data projector,disconnect the DigitalSpot 5000 DT from the mains.Remove all plastic covers of the head by loosening the quarter-turn fasteners (1).Disconnect cables from two motors (3) and two sensors next to the projector objective.Disconnect all cables from the projector´s rear panel and unscrew the 6 fastening screw (2) (three screws per side).Carefully pull out the projector (5) with chassis (4).
