Studio Command 1200 shares the same features as the 700 model with the exception of the lamp source. Studio Command 1200 uses a proven long-life Philips MSR 1200 source offering a colour temperature of 5900K, or may be fitted with an MSR 1200/2 source for a colour temperature of 7200K. These models also offer a variable mechanical and electronic strobe, boosted with the Light Burst effect, and a mechanical douser for smooth fade to black. Both use 14 channels on a DMX link.
All three models of Studio Command feature a large exiting beam with a compact head. All use a patented lenticular array optical system to enhance the homogeneity of the projected light. The moving yoke fixtures feature an adjustable field angle from 18 to 32 degrees, and a CMY dichroic-colour mixing system that provides rapid and quiet colour changes.
All versions provide an option for stand-alone programming and support TalkBack technology, which allows any DMX console supporting TalkBack protocol to remotely access the Studio Command onboard menu system.
The Studio Command H (Halogen) model offers a 1000-watt Tungsten source and a 3200 K colour temperature. It works with standard theatre dimming racks. The H model requires 13 DMX channels plus one channel dedicated to the dimmer.
HES begins shipping Studio Command 1200 in May.
