A 250W highly efficient discharge lamp (included) combines with an exceptional optical design to maximize optical efficiency and provide designers with extremely high-resolution picture quality. Three available lens options offer the choice of narrow, medium and wide beam angles. The standard spread angle is 23 degrees with easy to insert narrow angle 15 degrees and wide-angle 32 degrees options.
An optimized condenser lens system produces an even light distribution across the entire projected surface and a cold light glass reflector maximizes optical efficiency, resulting in high light output. The multi-layer, coated, four-element focus lens ensures extremely high light transmission with very high contrast and image sharpness.
The Imager uses large D-size gobos to ensure an image resolution nearly twice as high as E-size alternatives. Gobos in both the 4-gobo and 1-gobo Imager versions can be quickly replaced and images can be rotated in both directions or set in a highly precise indexed position. With the use of a special protection kit, it is possible to insert a photographic slide or overhead film for temporary promotions. The Imager includes a remote controllable focus that keeps the image sharp from 2 metres to infinity, while a 0-100% mechanical intensity control ensures smooth fade-ins and transitions of the image.
An easy-to-insert colour flag (no tools required) makes it possible to permanently change the colour of the light for more striking image projections. A selection of optional colours is available. And for even more eye-catching images, an easy-to-mount optional mirror arm creates the possibility of precise, smooth movement in a range of 235 degrees of pan by 65 degrees of tilt. Fixture settings are controlled via a 3-digit control panel.
The fixture can be controlled via DMX with either 9 or 12 channels required. Stand-alone programming offers one sequence containing up to 20 scenes using an optional infrared remote control. The Imager can run synchronized stand-alone operation together with the Martin Alien 02, MiniMAC Maestro, FiberSource CMY and Exterior luminaires. Cooling is achieved by low-noise filtered forced air. The speed of the fans is related to the ambient temperature, meaning that, in temperature controlled environments, the fans run at lower speeds, helping to reduce noise emission.
