The ColorSpot 575 AT includes effects such as two separate gobo wheels and two separate colour wheels (nine dichroic filters and open and eight replaceable dichroics plus open), all with Robe's "slot and lock" system; a remotely adjustable, motorized multi-step zoom with three different apertures of 15, 18 and 22 degrees; motorized iris; three-facet prism that rotates in both directions at variable speed; separate and variable frost effects and remote focus.
A new optical system and a new dichroic glass reflector dramatically optimizes the ColorSpot 575 AT's light output. Completely new software enables the very smooth rotations of gobos and prism, and users can select eight or 16-bit resolution for gobo indexing, prism indexing and dimmer. Other advantages like smoother pan and tilt movements and enhanced noise reduction facilities are also due to mechanical and software improvements. Lightsource is a compact high-pressure metal halide lamp with GX-9.5 base - approved model is the Philips MSR 575W/2. This has automatic control and remote on/off. The dimensions are extremely compact for the power and flexibility of the luminaire.
