The onboard architecture features 750 Scenes, 255 Programs each with 50 Scenes and 100 Records with 50 Program combinations, offering the flexibility to create and play back shows. Each programme’s timing function enables precise control and synchronization with music and sound effects. Robe fixtures can be remotely configured via the DMX 480 as well as controlled and programmed.
A 32MB multimedia card is supplied with the console, allowing data to be safely stored and shared between controllers. The RS232 interface offers further options on creating and saving data using a PC, whist maintaining direct control of the lamps. Other features include real time control of scanners, moving heads, dimmer packs and strobes; and 20 programmable Chases with adjustable speed. PAN and TILT movements are controlled with 16 bit precision by two encoder wheels, and smooth, premium quality faders are provided for direct control of light intensity when running Scenes, Programs or Records.
The ColorMix 240 AT is the latest in Robe’s new Advanced Technology (AT) Series, and is a static colour changer with a 150mm fresnel lens. Built with the same reliable engineering quality characteristic of all Robe products, it’s aimed at many professional applications including theatres, TV studios, stage lighting and interior architectural lighting. The ColorMix 240 is designed as a compact version of ColorMix 250 AT, featuring all the functions deemed ‘most useful’ by lighting designers and architects. Utilising an MSD 250/2 discharge lamp, the fixture outputs an incredibly bright and even 18,000 lumens, and has a 2,000 hour life.
