The AYRTON NANDOBEAM-S3 is a professional moving-head wash light designed for various lighting applications such as architectural, stage, television, theater, or museum lighting. This luminaire features an IP20 protection rating, indicating it is not waterproof and intended strictly for indoor use.
Function Description:
The NANDOBEAM-S3 utilizes the latest generation of high-performance LED-type lamps. It incorporates multi-chip LEDs with four colors: Red, Green, Blue, and White, operating on the CMY additive color principle. This allows for a potential palette of 4.2 billion colors when combined with white light. The luminaire has a total of 19 LEDs, which can be controlled by four independent zones. It requires between 17 to 28 DMX channels for full control via an external DMX512 signal. Remote Device Management (RDM) protocol is supported for adjusting settings like DMX address and operating mode, though a standard DMX controller is sufficient for basic settings.
