CHAPTER 4
Fixture Programming
RGB Color
The LED Tracking System uses Red, Green and Blue LEDs (RGB) to produce a color spectrum you can control and dim independently from the main output beam. There are 36 RGB LED modules that make up the LED Tracking System. Each RGB Module consists of a homogenizing lens and an RGB die.
LED Tracking System
The LED Tracking System uses 3 watt LEDs that can produce close to 5000 lumens of light and can be used along with or independent from the main output.The LED Tracking System allows you to select an LED color that matches the color from the main output beam or tracks with a complementary color.
LED Tracking Functions
The LED Tracking System is capable of strobing and other effects independent from those applied to the main output beam.
Color Function | Description |
|
|
Continuous | Allows exact intensity control of each LED color. |
|
|
Random | Selects whole colors at variable speeds. |
|
|
Cycle | Cycles through colors. |
|
|
Periodic Strobe | Strobes LEDs at specified intervals. |

LED Tracking System Dimming
Most automated luminaires have a single intensity system. In addition to the main output intensity, the SHOWGUN provides an additional intensity system for the LED Tracking System. It operates in two modes.
Dim Tracking Mode
In this mode, the LED Tracking System dims as the main output dims. When the Output Dim channel is set at a lower intensity, it will override the LED Tracking Dim channel. Visually, the lowest level takes precedence. This ensures that both intensity systems black out when the main output blacks out (for example, when using the console’s Grand Master)
NOTE: You can view LEDs alone in the tracking mode if you close the lamp shutter.
Tracking System Independent Dim Mode
In this mode, the Dim parameter operates independently from the LED Tracking Dim Parameter, allowing separate control over output dimming and LED dimming.
NOTE: This mode may result in SHOWGUN fixtures outputting LED intensity when the console Grand Master is at zero.
