Animation wheel
The ERA 600 Performance / Profile is
supplied with the “Radial Breakup”
animation wheel installed. The wheel can
be used to add animation effects to gobo
projections.
When using gobo animation, adjust the
fixture’s focus to obtain the most realistic
results.
Frost
The fixture has a frost effect that gives a
wash-type projection and softens gobo
outlines.
Rotating prisms
The ERA 600 Performance / Profile has
two rotating prisms: one four-facet circular
prism and one six-facet linear prism. Both
prisms can be inserted into the beam at
indexed angles or rotated with variable
direction and speed.
Iris
The iris diameter can be varied continuously from fully open to closed. Opening and closing pulse effects
with variable speed are also available.
Framing (ERA 600 Performance)
The 4-blade framing module in the ERA 600 Performance can be rotated to an indexed position within a
total range of 120°.
The framing blades have independent control of angle and amount of insertion for each blade. By adjusting
these parameters you can form the beam into any shape with three or four sides.
Zoom and focus
Adjusting focus lets you vary the sharpness of projected images at different distances. It can be particularly
effective when used together with gobos and the animation wheel.
The ERA 600 Performance / Profile’s zoom lens varies the focused beam angle from 6° to 45°. Wide zoom
angles allow sharp focus on projection surfaces close to the fixture. At narrower zoom angles, sharp focus is
only possible further from the fixture.
Long-range focus can always be set to infinity.
Pan and tilt
The ERA 600 Performance / Profile offers 540° of pan and 260° of tilt.
16-bit pan and tilt control are available. In each case, the second (LSB) DMX channel adjusts the position
set on the first (MSB) channel.
