Specification Overview

The unit shall have three color changers holding a minimum of 16 frames of dichroic media: cyan, amber, and magenta, providing full spectrum color crossfades, with a wide range in the unsaturated colors. Three motors shall provide independent drive regardless of direction of movement. Positional accuracy of the dichroic filters in reference to the beam shall be ensured through specialized software controlling the motors. The color changers shall be capable of movement from fully opened to fully closed in less than 0.7 second.
The unit shall contain one diffuser mechanism holding a minimum of 16 glass diffuser panels that intercept the beam and provide continuous time variable diffusion range for each of the available lenses. The diffuser mechanism shall be capable of movement from no diffusion to full diffusion in less than 0.7 second.
Control cable to luminaire shall provide both digital control signal and power from the Smart Repeater unit. A safety cable shall be provided with unit. A floor stand and an optional top hat shall be available.

Detailed Description

The innovative DICHRO*TUNE™ radial color changer with enhanced dichroic filters produces smooth, full color spectrum crossfades with the fullest range of unsaturated colors and tints.

The VL5B range have Pastel Coloured Dichroics to allow greater colour range into the pastel colour spectrum.

Interchangeable front lenses work with the internal diffusion mechanism to provide a wide range of beam control options.
The VL5B luminaire can be controlled from any VARI*LITE console, or can be controlled from a wide variety of DMX consoles.

COLOUR
Enhanced DICHROkTUNE crossfadeable dichroic colors feature independent cyan, magenta and amber color control. Smooth, timed color crossfades can occur in as little as 0.7 second.

INTENSITY CONTROL
The incandescent source is powered by conventional dimmers or C3 dimmer modules through the Smart Repeater processing unit.

BEAM SIZE CONTROL
A selection of easily interchangeable front lenses work with the internal diffusing mechanism to provide a variety of beam sizes and shapes.

BEAM DIFFUSION
Textured diffusion panels intercept the beam, providing a continuous, time variable diffusion range for each of the available lenses.

PAN AND TILT
Smooth, time controlled continuous motion by way of a digital servo system.

RANGE
Pan - 360°, Tilt - 270°.

MAX VELOCITY
220° per second.

ACCURACY

Control Channel:
In each case set the control channel to the value for the required action hold the value for 3
seconds then set the channel to zero (0) in a zero count or snap. Any values detected for less
than 3 seconds prior to zero will invalidate the command.
