Color Changer
The ColorSource Color Changer holds a ten color gelstring. A
signal from the power supply controls the position of the gelstring.
Low voltage AC from the Power Supply provides power to the
Color Changer. This control signal and the low voltage AC power
are both supplied by the single cable connecting the Color
Changer to the Power Supply.
A fan in the base of the Color Changer runs whenever the Color
Changer is connected to the Power Supply. This protects the
gelstring from overheating. The fan is most effective when the
Color Changer is oriented with the fan directing air up.
Gelstring
The gelstring is a series of ten precisely cut colored gel frames,
joined together side-by-side to create a sequence of colors. Two
additional gels at each end of the gelstring are called the leader
and the trailer and are five inches wide to allow for proper attach-
ment to the rollers.
If you need to replace the gelstring in your Color Changer, the
ColorSource system’s Autoload feature walks you through the
simple gelstring loading procedure. See page 15.
Note: Gelstrings may be ordered from either ETC or ColorExpress
by Wybron. See page 19 for an order form
