X5 IP Bar 1000
Tilt position feedback and self-correction
The fixture has a tilt position feedback and self-correction system that brings the head
back to its correct position if it was unintentionally moved. When correcting tilt, the
fixture at first tries twice to move to the correct position. If it cannot move to this
position, it waits for a short period and then tries again. Position feedback is
automatically disabled for a short time if you press one of the control panel buttons.
This feature lets an operator move the head manually. Tilt remains disabled while you
are using the fixture's control panel.
Position feedback can also be set to constantly disabled using the Fixture Settings
options. See 'Tilt disable' on page 22.
Fixture performance and speed options
You can adjust the speed (and noise level) of tilt and zoom movement by selecting
from three different performance options (see 'Performance modes' on page 20).
Zoom
The impression X5 IP Bar 1000 has motorized zoom control that lets you vary the beam
angle from spot to flood as the DMX value increases.
You can adjust the speed (and noise level) of zoom movement, as well as the speed
of all other mechanical effects, by selecting from three different performance options
(see 'Performance modes' on page 20).
Main and Sub modules
Some control modes divide the fixture into two or more modules (Main module and
Sub modules). For example, Control Modes 2-4 divide the fixture into:
● Main module (Layer 1 = one RGB(L) Wash fixture)
● Sub module (Layer 2 = pattern engine with segment or individual pixel control).
The Sub module has its own intensity and shutter channels. Professional controllers will
handle this setup in a smart multi-fixture profile.
The Sub module mode setting lets you decide whether the Sub module should be
subordinate to or independent of the Main module (see 'Sub module mode / Sub
fixture mode' on page 20).
Individual Segment or Pixel Control
The impression X5 IP Bar 1000 provides eighteen individually controllable pixels. Each
pixel cell houses a 40 W RGBL LED that can be controlled individually in intensity and
color to create dynamic effects and pixel mapping.
The fixture's different DMX control modes offer different options for working with the
individual segments or pixels.
