If the Cyberlight is already connected to a controller, bring a litho into focus. Then select
the open positions on all wheels (static litho, rotating litho, color and effects). Now
optimize as explained in this section. Procedural information for selecting effects can be
found in the documentation provided with your controller. If you are using DMX 512
protocol to control your Cyberlight, also see Appendix A.
If the Cyberlight is not connected to a controller, either lay the fixture flat on its back or
stand it on its end handles. Point the beam at a flat surface several feet away. Manually
swivel either the mirror or the fixture to make the beam as round as you can.
5.
Using the three adjusting screws (shown in Figure 1-10), adjust the beam until it is at its
maximum brightness and the light level is even across the beam. If you cannot obtain an even
brightness across the entire beam, try to obtain an even brightness across the brightest (hot
spot) point of light near the center of the beam.
Hint: If you have difficulty optimizing the lamp or run out of adjustment on one of the
adjustment screws, turn all three screws fully out and start over.
6.
After you have optimized the lamp, set personality switch 2 OFF; the shutter closes. The lamp
will turn off in a few minutes. Wait until the fans have shut off before turning the fixture OFF.

Installing SV Color Wheel Dichroic Filters

This section applies to the SV model only. The SV ships with a color wheel configured identically
to the CL, plus two additional color wheel dichroic filters you can use in place of the factory-
installed dichroic filters. The two additional filters are described below:
The CTO color correction dichroic filter is salmon-colored and can be used to color-correct the
SV to a 2950° K (tungsten) color temperature to match tungsten-filament lighting fixtures.
The homogenizing frost filter helps optimize the color mixing system by making the light color
and intensity even across the entire beam.
High End Systems recommends that you substitute the CTO color corrector for the CL color
corrector and the homogenizing frost filter for the aqua filter.
Please heed the following precautions when handling and using these filters:
Avoid touching the center of the glass. Handle the edge of the glass when
removing or installing the filters. If possible, wear cloth gloves when
inserting and removing filters from the color wheel.
If necessary, clean the filters with a mild glass cleaner and a soft cloth.
