Brothers Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Hi, I would like to design the following fixture: (attached), equipped with manual zoom functionality. At each zoom step, I require distinct beam angles, outputs, etc. Could you advise me on how to implement this zoom feature or provide relevant information? Currently, my only idea is to create three lenses, each corresponding to a different zoom step. BBS-CFL1-DS23.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also virtual zoom, see example of this fixture, which does it the virtual zoom way: cheers Petr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brothers Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 (edited) If I do it in a virtual way, would it appear as a DMX mode? Edited January 30 by Brothers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could do it also by DMX mode, yes, then it would be more visible to the customer and also available in the visualization... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I could do it with the "Virtual DMX", but I won't be able to modify the beam angles, outputs, etc. for each step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can modify the beam angles, that is the function of Zoom. If each lense has very different Lumen values, then you would use different files. If the lumen output is same, you could just use the modes or virtual zoom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have very different values so I'm going to do the 3 lens option(in the Geometry tab). Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your help. Yep, makes sense. Then you can use a different DMX Mode for each lens (for example fresnel, profile, pc...). And if the lens can change angle but lumens remain the same, you can use the virtual zoom in there too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
