  • Page 7 The Gel Frame comes with Gel Clips. Cut the gel to size and use the Clips to fasten the gel to the Frame. Another method is to apply transfer tape directly to the gel frame.

  • Page 12 “inside-out” pattern (i.e., if all lamps are on, the outside tubes will turn off first). Note: Manual lamp switching is disabled as soon as DMX cables are applied. VistaBeam 600 Switching VistaBeam 300 Switching STD operates lamps in Standard-Output Mode. HO operates lamps in High-Output Mode.
  • Page 13 DMX addresses. Therefore, DMX addresses can be set for each fixture prior to hanging. After the DMX address is entered, the VistaBeam 600 Fixture automatically assigns 7 addresses to lamp positions 1–6 and address 7 controls the STD / HO setting.
  • Page 14 Any theatrical lighting board with DMX 512 protocol can be used to individually turn on/off lamps in a Fixture. VistaBeams can be jumpered using the IN and OUT ports. As many as 100 Fixtures can be jumpered on one chain as long as the DMX cable run remains under 1000 feet or 40 x 25ft DMX cables.
  • Page 15 Addressing: In Fixture Mode selecting the base address automatically assigns the 7 address (in VistaBeam 600) to control the STD/HO setting. For example setting 001 as the first address automatically assigns address 007 as the control address for the STD/HO setting. Not assigning the 7 address results in the fixture operating at the HO setting.
  • Page 16 7 addresses to lamp positions 1-6 and the 7 address controls the STD/HO settings. For the sake of simplification, it is advisable to select address sequences in groups of 10 for VistaBeam 600 & VistaBeam 300 such as 10, 20, 30, 40 and so on.
