DIM/MENU
Rotary -push encoder for the adjustment and control of the spotlight.
DIM – If one of the DMX modes is enabled and there is no DMX signal to the device, the encoder serves as master dimmer control and you can set the brightness of the spotlight with values from 000 to 255 by turning the encoder (Quicklight).

MENU – Push the encoder to access the main menu and select menu items by turning the encoder.

ZOOM
On either side of the cabinet is a calibration control to manually adjust the beam angle. The two controls are mechanically linked and are directly opposite each other on the housing. Turn the calibration control to adjust the beam angle of the spotlight continuously from 40° to 16°. A rack and pinion system moves the zoom tube with the Fresnel lens in and out of the housing. The further the zoom tube protrudes from the housing, the smaller the beam angle. A stop mechanism prevents the tube from becoming detached from the housing.

OPERATION

TIPS

As soon as the spotlight is correctly connected to the power supply, the following will be displayed in succession: “Welcome to Cameo”, the model name, and the software version. After this process, the lamp is ready for operation and starts in the previously enabled mode.
If one of the DMX modes or slave mode is enabled and there is no control signal at the DMX input, the characters in the display will start to ﬂash.
If no input is made within approximately 30 seconds, the currently activated mode is automatically shown in the display (main display).

INSTALLATION

Thanks to its four plastic feet, the spotlight can be positioned in a suitable location on a level surface. Mounting to a traverse is possible with the pre- installed mounting bracket (A) and a suitable traverse clamp (optional). Ensure ﬁrm connections and secure the spotlight by attaching a suitable safety cable to the securing lug on top of the housing intended for this purpose (B). Use the side-mounted lever screws (C) to adjust the vertical beam angle.

Important: Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including the calculation of the load limit values of the installation material and regular safety inspection of all installation materials and spotlights. If you do not have these qualiﬁcations, do not attempt to perform an installation yourself. Refer instead to a qualiﬁed professional.

INSTALLATION/REMOVAL OF DOORS AND FILTER FRAME
To install or remove the barn doors and the ﬁlter frame please push the spring-loaded locking pin (E) of the bracket so that it folds upwards. Then return the bracket to its original position so that the locking pin re- engages.

Important safety notice!
For safety reasons, the ﬁlter frame must always be in the respective bracket on the spotlight, even if no ﬁlter is inserted!

DMX TECHNOLOGY

DMX-512
DMX (Digital Multiplex) is the designation for a universal transmission protocol for communications between corresponding devices and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data to the connected DMX device(s). The DMX data is always transmitted as a serial data stream that is forwarded from one connected device to the next via the “DMX IN” and “DMX OUT” connectors (XLR plug-type connectors) that are found on every DMX-capable device, provided the maximum number of devices does not exceed 32 units. The last device in the chain needs to be equipped with a terminator (terminating resistor).

DMX CONNECTION
DMX is the common “language” via which a very wide range of types and models of equipment from various manufacturers can be connected and controlled via a central controller, provided that all of the devices and the controller are DMX compatible. For optimum data transmission, it is necessary to keep the connecting cables between the individual devices as short as possible. The order in which the devices are integrated into the DMX network does not influence the addresses. Thus the device with the DMX address 1 can be located at any position in the (serial) DMX chain: at the beginning, at the end, or somewhere in the middle. If DMX address 1 is assigned to a device, the controller “knows” that it should send all data allocated to address 1 to this device regardless of its position in the DMX network.

SERIAL CONNECTION OF MULTIPLE LIGHTS

Connect the male XLR connector (3-pin or 5-pin) of the DMX cable to the DMX output (female XLR socket) of the first DMX device (e.g. DMX-Controller).
Connect the female 3-pin XLR connector of the DMX cable connected to the first projector to the DMX input (male 3-pin socket) of the next DMX device. In the same way, connect the DMX output of this device to the DMX input of the next device and repeat until all devices have been connected. Please note that as a rule, DMX devices are connected in series and connections cannot be shared without active splitters. The maximum number of DMX devices in a DMX chain should not exceed 32 units.

The Adam Hall 3 STAR, 4 STAR, and 5 STAR product ranges include an extensive selection of suitable cables.

DMX CABLES
When fabricating your cables, always observe the illustrations on this page. Never connect the shielding of the cable to the ground contact of the plug, and always make certain that the shielding does not come into contact with the housing of the XLR plug. If the shielding is connected to the ground, this can lead to short-circuiting and system malfunctions.
