Designed primarily for stage use and the professional lighting rental market, the CMY Zoom-250 offers the distinct advantage of CMY colour mixing, an innovative system based on graduated cyan, magenta and yellow filters. Users can achieve a continuous range of unlimited colours by varying the amount of each filter from 0 to 100 percent. The unit can also be set to scroll continuously through the entire spectrum, from white all the way to ultraviolet.
"Even if you are going from pink to dark blue, the transition is nearly seamless with the CMY Zoom-250," said John Lopez, sales manager for Elation Professional. "With a regular colour wheel, you'd see all the in-between tones, like red, green and orange. But the CMY Zoom-250 eliminates that problem."
Equipped with 9 DMX channels, the CMY Zoom-250 features an optimal optical system with a high-output luminous-efficiency parabolic mirror, glass dichroic reflector, 8-22 degrees of motorized zoom and 150mm Fresnel lens. It offers full dimming (from 0 to 100 percent) plus a mechanical high-speed shutter and a pulse effect.
Barn doors are included, special effects include a beam shaper for flattening and positioning beams, plus a frost filter that creates a wider beam with a more even field. "The CMY Zoom-250 is the ideal colour changer," Lopez said. "With a 250W lamp source and a power draw of only five amps, it gives you more punch for your power."
