Fixture profile change - Cameo

Hey,

I noticed differences between the Fixture Library and the reality of the Fixtures. And this although the Fixture Library exactly follows the manufacturer's specifications... I don't know exactly what the wrong information was, I made local copies of the type and corrected everything in them.

Cameo AuroSpot 100/200: Pan may be 540°/630° and Tilt 240°

Cameo NanoSpot 300: Pan is 540° and Tilt about 199° - asyncron reaching from -98° to 101°

Cameo HydraBeam 4000 RGBW: Pan is 540° and Tilt only 220°.

Moreover I tried to find Gobos in the library matching the default ones from the AuroSpot and NanoSpot as good as possible. Listed in ascending order from Gobo1 to Gobo n:

AuroSpot: Acme 07 07; Blizzard Lighting 010 010; Abstract 15 dot tunnel; Ablelite 001 001; American DJ 055 55; Martin 002 fat bar

NanoSpot: Abstract 12 tunnel; American DJ 165 165; American DJ 166 166; American DJ 167 167; Blizzard Lighting 007 007; American DJ 168 168; American DJ 169 169

EOS version 2.9.1 b17; Library version 2.9.1.8

And one last question: At least in my region, moving heads are placed or hung in such a way that the cables can be connected to the side facing away from the viewer. Why are moving heads always panned facing stage left (hanging) or stage right (standing) in default? Wouldn't it be easier to define a pan range from -180° to 360° in order to have 0° facing to the crowd or in negative tilt to the stage? I think there's a point behind it, can anyone explain it to me?

Thanks

  • Hi Lars,

    In regards to the Pan and Tilt degrees: it is not abnormal for the Pan of a fixture to exceed 360° to allow the fixture to move past the point of origin and it majority of fixtures will not be able to have a 360° tilt as the base in which they are hung prevents the fixture head from circling around itself. If the Eos profile has been written to the manfacturer's spec it sounds likely that this may be the case.

    I'm unsure what your question is regarding the gobos, however. Are you saying the gobos in these Eos profiles do not match the gobos designated on the manual? 

    Best,

    Therese 

  • Lars is saying that although the eos profiles are made to match the manufacturer's specs they don't match reality. they have different pan/tilt ranges than the spec and the profile say

    and i think the same is true for the gobos.

    not sure how much there can be done without official documentation from the manufacturer...
