Features and Specifications
The DL.1 (Digital Light 1) fixture merges video projection and automated lighting
technologies with a DMX controllable video light engine housed in a moving yoke
fixture. DL.1 itself doesn't generate images; it is a mechanical means of displaying
video images onto a stage with automated control of zoom, focus, and other video-
related parameters. DL.1 fixtures can be used in conjunction with the Catalyst Media
Server and Catalyst Version 3.0 software, or alone to project images from DVDs,
videos and other compatible media.
The optional Camera System provides a fully equipped digital camera and IR
illuminator to project live video on its local unit or another DL.1 fixture through an
ethernet link. Combining camera and light from the same source allow for a unique
point of view. Camera features include optical and digital zoom, frame rate and invert
effects. Combining the camera with IR illuminator allows focus and fading in
blackout situations. The ability to point the camera at it's own projection and
adjusting zoom creates unique realtime video feedback and "hall of mirrors" effects.
This manual gives you information about the setup, operation and maintenance of
the DL.1 fixture. For additional information specific to the projector housed in the
DL.1 including projector maintenance, onboard menu and troubleshooting, see the
projector's user manual shipped with your fixture.
