Effects; Shutter And Strobe Effects; Dimming; Color Mixing - Harman Martin ERA 600 Performance User Manual

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. In other words, the fine channel works within the position set by the coarse channel.

Shutter and strobe effects

The fixture's electronic shutter effect provides instant blackout and snap open as well as regular or random
strobe and pulse effects with variable speed from approx. 1 Hz to 20 Hz.

Dimming

Smooth 0-100% overall dimming is available with 16-bit control resolution. Four dimming curves are
available (see Figure 7 on page 14).

Color mixing

The fixture features dichroic CMY color filters, with 16-bit continuous color mixing available on six DMX
channels.

Color temperature control

16-bit color temperature control is available on two dedicated CTO channels. You can adjust the fixture's
color temperature smoothly and continuously from 6500 K to 2700 K.

color wheel that lets
