shaft, and which can be quickly changed. The gobo animation wheel pivots to allow horizontal, vertical, and angled

effects, such as rising flames or windswept clouds.

Via your DMX controller, you can control both the starting position of the animation disc and its rotation direction and

speed. The animation disc can be set to run continuously or to run in an indexing mode, which will be of great use if

you are using custom animation discs with text or company logos. You are also able to choose the angle at which the

disc has its starting position, be it horizontally aligned, vertically aligned, or anywhere in between.

• Using the gobo animation effects, see "Animation guide" on page 21

Dimming and strobe

The mechanical dimmer/shutter system provides smooth, high-resolution 100 percent dimming, instant open and

blackout, random and variable strobe effects up to 10 Hz, and random and variable pulses in which the dimmer snaps

open and slowly dims or snaps closed and slowly opens.

The color mixing system uses continuous dichroic cyan, magenta, and yellow (CMY) color filters. It is a subtractive

system that removes color from white light. Inserting all three filters results in loss of light: for maximum brightness,

mix 2 colors at a time.

The color temperature correction (CTC) system uses a continuous 0 - 178 mireds color filter that lowers the color

temperature from 6000 K to 2900 K.

The effect wheel provides a variable frost filter and two slots that house a wide angle converter lens (beam expander)

and a nine-facet prism.

The iris closes down to 15 percent of its full-open diameter with high, 200-step resolution. The Iris Channel also

provides random and variable speed pulsating iris effects.

The focus lens focusses the beam from approximately 2 meters (6.5 feet) to infinity. The zoom lens widens the beam

from approximately 10° at full spot to 28° at full flood.

The yoke pans 540° and the head tilts 267°. For maximum positioning accuracy, select 16-bit mode.
