  • Page 5: Effects

    Effects This section gives details of the effects available in the ERA 600 Performance / Profile. See the DMX protocol table on page 18 for a list of channels and commands used to control the effects via DMX. Where fine control is available, the main control channel sets the first 8 bits (the most significant byte or MSB), and the fine channels set the second 8 bits (the least significant byte or LSB) of the 16-bit control byte.

  • Page 6: Rotating Gobos

    Rotating gobos The ERA 600 Performance has one rotating gobo wheel (Gobo Wheel 1) and a rotating framing effect, while the ERA 600 Profile has two rotating gobo wheels (Gobo Wheel 1 and Gobo Wheel 3) and no framing effect. The gobos on Gobo Wheel 3 in the ERA 600 Profile have the same dimensions and specifications as those on Gobo Wheel 1 and are therefore interchangeable, but the goboholders on the two gobo wheels are slightly different and are not interchangeable.
  • Page 7 Gobo Wheel 3 (ERA 600 Profile) Gobo Wheel 3 in the ERA 600 Profile has seven rotating gobos that can be selected, indexed (positioned at an angle), rotated continuously and shaken (bounced). The gobo wheel itself can also be scrolled continuously or shaken.

  • Page 8: Static Gobos

    Static gobos The static gobo wheel in the ERA 600 Performance / Profile has eight static gobos. The static gobo wheel can be scrolled continuously or shaken. Gobo selection and control type (indexing, continuous gobo rotation, gobo shake or continuous gobo wheel scrolling) are selected on channel 6. Depending on what is selected on this channel, the gobo indexing angle or gobo rotation speed are set on channels 7 and 8, where 16-bit control is available.

  • Page 9: Animation Wheel

    Animation wheel The ERA 600 Performance / Profile is supplied with the “Radial Breakup” animation wheel installed. The wheel can be used to add animation effects to gobo projections. When using gobo animation, adjust the fixture’s focus to obtain the most realistic results.

    Adjusting settings via DMX Certain fixture settings and parameters can be adjusted from the DMX controller on the Fixture control/settings channel. Commands sent on the fixture control channel override any settings entered in the fixture’s onboard control menus. To help you avoid accidentally applying a setting that may disrupt a light show, for example, the commands must be held for a certain time before they are applied.
