Page 9: Rigging The Fixture
DigitalSpot 7000 DT using the actual fixture in m before you permanently install it, so as to make allowance for this projector's optical characteristics. This will help you determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location 9. Rigging the fixture Please consider the respective national norms during the installation! Verify the truss or support will handle the combined weight of all the fixtures on the truss Always use a secondary safety cable when mounting this fixture When rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges, under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden. The operator has to make sure that safety‐relating and machine‐technical installations are approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time. The operator has to make sure that safety‐relating and machine‐technical installations are approved by a skilled person once a year. To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, the vents must not be blocked or covered. Hot air is exhausted from the exhaust vent. Do not put any flammable object near the fixture, hot air is exhausted from the air vents. Keep the exhaust vents at least 1 m away from any objects. Do not touch peripheral parts of the exhaust vent, especially screws, grids and metallic parts. These areas will become hot while the fixture is being used. Do not put anything on the fixture. Objects put on the fixture will not only get damaged but also may cause fire hazard by heat. Allow the fixture to cool for 20 minutes before handling. The fixture should be installed out of the reach of people. We recommend avoiding dusty/smoky environments when operating the fixture. Usage in these environments may cause a poor image quality. When using the fixture under dusty or smoky conditions,dust may accumulate on a lens, liquid crystal panels, or optical elements inside the projector. Such condition may degrade the quality of the projected image. Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including calculation of working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the fixture. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and or damage to property. ...

Page 13: Folder Organization
DigitalSpot 7000 DT 12. Folder organization The library structure is reflected on the hard drive where all files for the library are stored. The whole library is contained within a special folder called ‘Media’. Inside the Media folder is a collection of folders (000,001...240) each named with a 3‐digit number. Each folder following this convention represents a library folder and the 3‐digit number represents the name of the folder. Because of this, you can’t have folders without the 3 digit number scheme. You can’t neither have two folders with the same digits. Inside each folder is a collection of media files that the library folder holds. The media files also should follow the 3‐digit conventions where a 3‐digit number is followed by an underscore and a name e.g.: 001_testfile1.png. Note that for media files the digit starts at 001_ since visual 0 is always considered as being empty. The media files assigned to the DMX values can be sorted either in an alphabetical or numerical order. Default assigning is the alphabetical order. If you need to change this sorting, go to the menu ”Personality“ and select “Gobo selection mode“ option. The numerical order is suitable in the case that you need to exactly assign certain media files to specified DMX addresses. The table below show differences in file DMX assignment between the alphabetical and numerical sorting. The table also includes file names without a correct 3‐digit convention to illustrate their behaviour in the numerical sorting. Media file name DMX value DMX value at Alphabetical Sorting at Numerical Sorting 001_testfile1.png 1 1 020_testfile2.png 2 20 19_testfile3.png 3 19 3_testfile4.png 4 3 460_testfile5.png 5 Not Assigned* ...

DigitalSpot 7000 DT use channel the KeyStone X‐ratio for correction use the channel KeyStone Y‐ratio for correction 16.2 Layer keystone parameters By the global keystone parameters stated above you can control each of the four corners of the graphics output individually to reshape your image to a form that is projected correctly. By the layer keystone parameters you can control all four corners of the image at the same time. With these parameters you can create the same skewing and shape effects like with the global keystone parameters but on each gobo layer. Major use of these effects is in a situation where the gobo mask is applied on a layer and you need to adjust a mask shape onto some object on the scene. More important is adjusting of the inner part of the image on the layer than the outer shape of the graphics output. Characteristic case is a composition of 2 layers: the layer 1, where is applied a picture of the landscape and the layer 2, where is a gobo mask selected (see picture below). To adjust desired image shape you can use the following (keystone) parameters on the gobo layer 2: 1. Layer zoom in X and Y direction. The channels Gobo zoom X coarse and Gobo zoom X fine allow 8‐bit/16‐bit zooming in X‐direction. The channels Gobo zoom Y coarse and Gobo zoom Y fine allow 8‐bit/16‐bit zooming in Y‐direction. 29 ...

Page 33: In Frame And Out Frame Parameters
DigitalSpot 7000 DT 17. In Frame and Out Frame parameters You can select any segment of a video file for playback by assigning parameters for In Frame (start point) and an Out Frame (end point) as pictured below. The In Frame parameter corresponds to a 16‐bit DMX value equal to a starting point for the playback segment of the selected video file. The Out Frame parameter corresponds to a 16‐bit DMX value equal to an end point for the playback segment of the selected video file. 1.Assigning the In Frame DMX values to 0 and Out Frame DMX values to 255 you will playback the entire video file. You can create a segment anywhere between the beginning and the end of the video file It is possible to skip a segment in the video file by setting the In Frame to a point following the Out Frame value. 18. Video Control The channel Gobo control defines how the current layer will be ‘composed’ with the previous layers and the playback options in each mode .The Digital Spot 7000 supports the following options: Copy mode (0‐17 DMX): In this mode, the pixels of the layer are written on top of the previous layers. Addition mode (20‐37 DMX: In this mode, the pixel values of the current layer are added to the ones of the previous layers. This means that “dark” pixels in the current layer image won’t alter the pixels that are underneath while “light” pixel will saturate the image underneath. Subtraction mode (40‐47DMX): In this mode, the pixel values of the current layer are subtracted from the pixel value in the underlying layers. Dark pixel from the current layer won’t alter the pixel of the layers underneath while light pixel will darken them. Multiplication mode (60‐77 DMX): In this mode, the pixels from the current layer will be multiplied by the pixels of the underlying layers. For a pixel to appear bright in the output, the equivalent pixel of ...

Page 42: Iris Effect On Layer
DigitalSpot 7000 DT 20.4 Iris effect on layer The effect allows to simplify transition effects between layers and it can be activated on each gobo layer. On the effect can be applied layer´s X/Y zoom, X/Y position and rotation parameters. Another possible application of the iris effect is to use it as the mask function to mask unwanted parts of the image. On the iris effect on the layer can be also applied global effects as the iris, picture merging etc. The iris effect on layer can be activated on each gobo layer if you set the Gobo Effect 1 Selection channel to a DMX value of 91. The Parameter 1 of this effect changes the size of the iris. The Parameter 2 selects type of the iris and the last Parameter 3 serves for selecting of several texture modes applied on the iris surface. To see various texture modes, the channels of the X/Y zoom have to comply with a condition: Gobo zoom X coarse > 128 and the Gobo zoom Y coarse>128. After that you can use the channels Gobo position X coarse(Gobo position X fine)and Gobo position Y coarse(Gobo position Y fine) to move the iris to the desired position on the layer.

Page 45: Media Content Management
DigitalSpot 7000 DT 21. Media content management As you seen earlier in chapter "12. Folder organization", the DigitalSpot 7000 DT uses the root folder named "Media". This folder contains subfolders (000,001...240) and inside each subfolder is the collection of media that the subfolder holds. The files in subfolders are sorted in an alphabetic or numerical order and assigned to DMX. The first part of the file name should be a 3‐digit number followed by an underscore and a name e.g.: 001_sun.png...... 1 DMX 002_snow_castle.png..2 DMX : 255_apple.png....255 DMX Subfolders 000‐020 are reserved for default (factory) gobos/videos and their contents cannot be changed. User subfolders 21‐240 and their contents can be mowed between fixtures and your local drive (PC) as well as between fixtures. Which method you use depends on: ‐ how much content you want to move ‐ whether the fixture is currently connected to the Ethernet fixture link There is several methods for moving user content files and folders between fixtures and a local drive and between fixtures each other. You can use: ‐ FTP client in Windows explorer window (fixtures have to be connected to Ethernet link) ‐ FTP client in Mozilla Firefox (fixtures have to be connected to Ethernet link) ‐ USB stick ‐ option "Contents Synchronization" in a Remote control program (fixtures have to be connected to Ethernet link).

Page 65: Effect Video Synchronization
DigitalSpot 7000 DT 25. Effect video synchronization The synchronization option can be set separately for each gobo layer (channels Synchronization to ID). The fixture synchronization acts with the fixture ID which is defined as the last number of fixture´s IP address. This fixture ID is shown on the fixture´s display. The fixtures are synchronized to the one fixture ‐ named a master fixture. The fixtures may be controlled by the DMX but the fixture synchronization runs over ethernet network ‐ it means that all fixtures that are to be synchronized have to be connected to the ethernet. Each DMX value of the synchronizing channel responds to the fixture ID of a certain fixture. You have to set the DMX value (ID) of the master fixture on all fixtures that are to be synchronized. If the DMX value= fixture ID, in this case the fixture is set as a master. Example: 4 DigitalSpots 7000 DT which are synchronized through the gobo layer 1 to the fixture 3 : IP address Fixture ID Synchronization to ID (Channel 85) Fixture 1 002.168.002.010 DMX=20 Fixture 2 002.168.002.015 DMX=20 Fixture 3 002.168.002.020 DMX=20 Master fixture Fixture 4 002.168.002.021 DMX=20 Note: For a synchronous video projection on the layer 1, the channels InFrame High, In Frame Low, Out Frame ...

Global effect 2‐ parameter 1 This parameter enables to adjust the total length of the image edge. A value of 0 means no adjustment, a value of 255 means maximum correction. Note. If a corner projection is selected on a Global effect 1 (values of 1‐4), the red guiding line will appear in the image (the gobo with the net pattern has to be projected). Guiding line 66 ...
Page 67 DigitalSpot 7000 DT Global effect 2‐ parameter 2 This parameter enables to adjust the horizontal length of the edge. A DMX Value of 128 = no adjustment, values below 128 move the edge to the left, values above 128 move the edge to the right. Global effect 2‐ parameter 3 This parameter enables to adjust the vertical length of the edge. A DMX Value of 128 = no adjustment, values below 128 move the edge downwards, values above 128 move the edge upwards. These global effect 2 parameters 1‐3 have to be used in combination with the KeyStone and KeyStone X‐ratio (Y‐ ratio) parameters to adjust desired shape of image. Corner projection Example: 1. Project the gobo with a net pattern on the wall (the channel Gobo Folder selection ,is set at a value of 20 ,the channel Gobo selection at a value of 2). 2. Set the channel Global Effect 2 to a Horizontal inside corner mapping (DMX value=3) 3. Use the channel Global Effect 2 ‐Parameter 1 to adjust the length of the image edge. 4. Use the channels Global Effect 2 ‐Parameter 2, and Global Effect 2 ‐Parameter 3 and Keystone channels to correct image on the wall. 5.
