Optimizing The Lamp; Figure 7-23. Orient The Fixture For Lamp Optimization - High End Systems Studio Spot 250 User Manual

Optimizing the Lamp

You should optimize the lamp after you replace the lamp, or if you notice a "hot spot"
of brightness anywhere other than the center of the light beam.
To complete the optimization procedure below, you can use either the fixture's on-
board menu system or your DMX controller.
1. Orient the fixture so that the beam will project onto a flat, white surface at least
10 feet (3 m) away.

Figure 7-23. Orient the fixture for lamp optimization.

2. Turn the lamp on (see "Turning the Lamp On or Off (LAMP)" on page 4-30).
3. Make sure that the light beam is round and not oval.
If necessary, adjust the pan and tilt construct values until the beam is round
(see "Selecting a Pan Value (PAN)" on page 5-4 and "Selecting a Tilt Value
(TILT)" on page 5-4).
4. For Studio Spot 250 fixtures, adjust the focus until the edge of the light beam is
sharp (see "Selecting the Focus Value (FCUS)" on page 5-7).
