Chapter 2Configuring courtesy Your of Trackspot ®nd Audio-Visual Phone: 0870 Services 080 2342mail: enquiries@sxsevents.co.ukwww.sxsevents.co.ukTo prepare your Trackspot for operation, you must choose a controlmode, set the personality and address switches, mount the fixture, linkthe fixture, and focus the fixture.Choosing a Control ModeThere are four different control modes that will operate your Trackspotfixture: DMX 512 protocol, LWR protocol, standard analog, and standalone operation (master/slave).When configured for DMX 512 protocol, LWR protocol, or stand aloneoperation, Trackspot uses seven contiguous digital channels to controlits constructs. When used with a standard analog controller, Trackspotuses either six or seven contiguous analog channels per fixture. Todetermine whether you will use six or seven analog channels, see“Standard Analog” on page 2-15. The digital/analog channels have thefunctions shown in Table 2-1 below:Table 2-1. Channel assignmentsChannelFeature1 Pan2 Tilt3 Color4 Gobo5 Shutter6 Dim7 MSpeed2DMX 512 ProtocolDMX 512 (D for digital, MX for multiplex and 512 is the number ofchannels per link) is a reliable and efficient control protocol.Developed by the United States Institute of Theatre Technology(USITT), DMX 512 is the standard method used in the lighting industryfor controlling lighting fixtures and other devices (such as hazers andlasers).A controller using DMX 512 protocol (such as the Status Cue ® LightingConsole) can control a large number of different types of devices madeby various equipment manufacturers, such as High End Systems, onthe same link.www.sxsevents.co.ukYou can control up to 72 Trackspots per DMX 512 link in either low orhigh resolution mode. For more information on resolution modes, see“Start Channels and Construct Parameters” on page A-1.Trackspot User Manual Choosing a Control Mode 2-1

LWR Protocolnd Audio-Visual Phone: courtesy 0870 of Services 080 2342mail: enquiries@sxsevents.co.ukLightwave Research (LWR) protocol was created to enable 10-bitresolution for mirror positioning. Other control protocols (includingDMX 512) allow for only 8-bit resolution. LWR protocol controls HighEnd Systems www.sxsevents.co.ukfixtures only. Other vendors besides High End Systemshave controllers that support LWR protocol. Consult thedocumentation provided with your controller for information aboutprotocol support.The Intellabeam ® LCD Controller, Universal Controller, and theStatus Cue ® System, all manufactured by Lightwave Research, supportLWR protocol and can be used to control Trackspot fixtures. Consultthe documentation provided with your controller to determine thenumber of fixtures you can control per link.Standard AnalogTrackspot can be controlled by any 0-10 volt analog controller.When operating under an analog controller, each fixture must beindividually attached to the controller. The controller sends analogoutput to each fixture that is connected to the controller. To determinethe number of fixtures per link that can be controlled by your analogcontroller, consult the documentation provided with your controller.Stand Alone Operation (Master/Slave)Trackspot can be fully functional without the use of a controller. Standalone operation, also called master/slave mode, uses one fixture(designated as the master) to control the other fixtures (designated asthe slaves). When operating in a master/slave mode, the masterfixture’s audio microphone registers ambient bass noise to advancethrough Trackspot’s 32 preset programs.For greater control of the preset programs while in master/slave mode,connect the master fixture to a Trackspot ® Special Analog Controller.You can wire Trackspot fixtures operating in master/slave mode forremote lamp enable/disable.

You can order galvanized safety cables from yourHigh End Systems dealer/distributor (see “Optional Accessories” onpage Intro-6).mail: enquiries@sxsevents.co.ukClampYou must supply your own clamp(s) and verify the clamp is capable ofsupporting the weight of the Trackspot fixture. You can order deluxeC-clamps for a two-inch truss from your High End Systems dealer/distributor (see “Optional Accessories” on page Intro-6).2Caution: Make sure the fixture cannot be rotated 360°.(Using two clamps is a good way to make surethe fixture cannot be rotated in a full circle.)Allowing the fixture to rotate 360° couldloosen the clamp mounting bolts and causethe fixture to fall from its clamp.Note:Due to the wide variety of possible lighting designs, HighEnd Systems cannot make specific mountingrecommendations. Consider the following procedure as asuggested guideline only.Suggested mounting procedure:1. Unplug the fixture. If the fixture has been operating, allow thefixture to cool for at least 5 minutes.2. Use two people to mount each Trackspot fixture: one person tohold the fixture while it is being secured in place, and one personto the secure the fixture to its support and attach safety cables.3. Always stand on a firm, stable surface when mounting a fixture toits support. The fixture should be at a height where you cancomfortably work on it, and should either be resting on a stablesurface, or held in a stable manner. Do not allow one person toboth support and mount the fixture.4. Attach suitable clamp(s) through the holes on top of the yoke. Ifyou are attaching one clamp, use the middle hole on the yoke. Ifyou are attaching two clamps (as shown in Figure 2-3), attach oneclamp to each of the two outer holes on the yoke. Use lockingwashers when attaching the clamp(s) to the yoke.www.sxsevents.co.ukTrackspot User Manual Mounting the Fixture 2-9

Constructing Cablingnd Audio-Visual Phone: courtesy 0870 of Services 080 2342mail: enquiries@sxsevents.co.ukIf you need to construct cabling, you must use a shielded, twoconductorcable with a male 3-pin XLR connector on one end and afemale 3-pin XLR connector on the other end. Pin one is the shield(ground), www.sxsevents.co.ukpin two is the data complement (negative), and pin three isthe data true (positive) (see Figure 2-5). For more information oncabling and connector specifications, see “Specifications” on pageIntro-4.2Figure 2-5. XLR 3-pin connectorsYou should test each cable with a voltage/ohm meter (VOM) to verifycorrect polarity and to make sure that the negative and positive pinsare not grounded or shorted to the shield or to each other. Also, makesure that pin 1 is shielded.Caution:Do not use the ground lug on the XLRconnectors. Do not connect the shield toground or allow contact to ground.Grounding the shield could cause a groundloop and/or erratic behavior.Constructing TerminatorsIf you chose to use standard analog control, you do not need to attach aterminator to the last device on each link. However, for all othercontrol modes, the last device on each link must have a 120 ohm, 1/4watt (minimum) terminator attached to its Data Out connector.You can construct terminators by following the instructions below:1. Obtain a male XLR connector.2. Disassemble the connector.3. Solder a 120 ohm resistor, minimum of 1/4watt, between pins 2 and 3 (see Figure 2-6).www.sxsevents.co.uk4. Reassemble the XLR connector.5.

Althoughyou can control Trackspot from any DMX starting channel you choose,that starting channel must not interfere with another fixture’s channelblock.The tables below assume that all Trackspot fixtures will be assigned tothe same link, one after another. Keep in mind, however, that if youmix different devices on the same link, those devices will have differentchannel blocks that may overlap the 7-channel sequence listed below.Note:The values displayed in the tables in this appendix mayvary slightly depending on your controller’s roundingconvention.Start Channels and Construct ParametersIf you chose DMX 512 protocol as your control mode, you must operateyour Trackspot fixture(s) either in low resolution or high resolution.Control options available on your DMX controller will determinewhether you can operate your fixtures in low or high resolution mode.Low Resolution ModeLow resolution mode is used with DMX controllers that do not supportcolor or gobo fader and spin effects. There are fewer color and gobofeatures available in low resolution mode.High Resolution ModeHigh resolution mode has more construct parameters and is intendedfor DMX controllers with more accurate faders or direct numericalcontrol of each dim channel. In high resolution mode, the color faderand gobo fader effects include half colors, oscillating colors, color spineffects, and gobo spin effects.After determining which DMX 512 mode you will operate in, see TableA-1 for information such as DMX starting channels and address andpersonality switch settings in both high and low resolution modes.

Follow the listing in the tables below for the control modeyou chose to operate your fixture, either DMX 512 or LWR protocol.DMX 512 Protocol MSpeed TimesThe type of controller you use determines which Value column ispertinent to your MSpeed Time. If you are using a controller thatshows MSpeed in numeric values, use the Value (num) column. If youare using a controller that controls MSpeed with a fader, use the Value(%) column.Note:The values displayed in the Value columns may varyslightly depending on your controller’s roundingconventions.Table B-1.

See Figure 3-1 on page 3-2.Channel blockThe contiguous block of DMX 512 channels a fixture uses tocontrol its constructs such as color wheel, gobo wheel, pan,tilt, etc.Color correctorA means of matching a specific color temperature to simulatestandard types of light, such as Tungsten light or daylight.Trackspot uses a daylight Color Temperature Blue (CTB) colorcorrector.Color temperatureA term used to describe the balance or content of each spectralcomponent of white light. Color temperature, in turn, relies onthe concept of the black body.A black body is a theoretical object that absorbs all of theenergy that contacts it. Heating a black body causes it to emitradiation. When the spectral composition of a black bodymatches the spectral composition of a white light source, thetemperature of the black body (in degrees Kelvin) is the colortemperature of the light source.For example, a light source that is rated at 3200° Kelvin (suchas the light source used in Trackspot) matches the radiation ofa black body heated to 3200° Kelvin.Because not all light sources exhibit a smooth spectral powerdistribution, color temperature is an approximate measure of alamp’s spectral output.ConstructsFeatures of the fixture (such as color wheel, gobo wheel andshutter). A controller (such as the Intellabeam LCD Controllerfor Trackspot) uses constructs to make it easy to program yourshow.Control modeA method of sending data (either analog or digital) to a fixture.There are four control modes available for Trackspot: DMX512 protocol, LWR protocol, standard analog, or stand aloneoperation.www.sxsevents.co.ukTrackspot User ManualGlossary-1

DichroicA dichroic (from Greek, meaning “two-color”) filter achieves and Audio-Visual Phone: courtesy 0870 of Services 080 2342richly-saturated color without using any pigmented (colored)materials. In simple terms, it achieves this effect by eitherwww.sxsevents.co.ukreflecting or “cancelling out” through destructive interferenceall but a narrow range of the light spectrum.mail: enquiries@sxsevents.co.ukThe “dichroic” name refers to the fact that one color (or broadrange of colors) is reflected or cancelled out, and one color (ornarrow range of colors) is transmitted through the dichroicfilter.The dichroics used in Trackspot are all manufactured at theHigh End Systems Optical Coating and Assembly Laboratoryin Austin, Texas. They are made from a base of low expansionglass material coated with multiple, microscopic layers ofspecialized materials separated by junctions that eithertransmit or reflect certain wavelengths of light, accounting forthe resulting color.Dichroic filters offer a number of advantages over traditionalgel filters: since they are made of low expansion glass andabsorb almost no heat themselves, they theoretically have nofailure mechanism; they transmit more light than gels; andtheir resultant colors are more richly-saturated than is possiblewith a gel.Dichroics are currently used for all Trackspot color and gobowheel dichroic filters. (Dichroics are also used on other HighEnd Systems fixtures.)DMX 512 control protocolDMX 512 is a standard method of controlling lighting fixturesand other devices (such as lasers and hazers). Developed bythe United States Institute of Theatre Technology (USITT),DMX 512 is supported by leading entertainment industryequipment manufacturers, such as High End Systems.DMX 512 (D for digital, MX for multiplex and 512 is thenumber of channels per link) is a reliable, efficient and wellunderstoodmethod of controlling lighting devices. Its strengthlies in its ability to control virtually any mix of DMXcompatibledevices on the same link using a single DMXcompatiblecontroller.See also “LWR control protocol.”DMX channelwww.sxsevents.co.ukThe DMX 512 protocol allows a total of 512 channels to beused on a particular link.

Custom gobos aredesigned and manufactured at High End Systems. See“Optional Accessories” on page Intro-6 for orderinginformation.HomingThe process of moving to a “home” or starting point that is setby the fixture. In Trackspot, the pan and tilt motions of themirror, the shutter, and the color and gobo wheels all have adesignated home.Hot Mirror(Also called infrared filter or heat filter.) A piece of dichroicglass placed over the opening of the reflector; see Figure 3-12on page 3-10. Its purpose is to eliminate infrared andultraviolet wavelengths, both of which fall far outside thevisible light spectrum; therefore, light output is not affected. Italso helps prevent heat buildup inside the fixture.LED (Light Emitting Diode) indicatorLinkA light on the rear panel of the fixture that indicates activity ofthe fixture’s cooling fan, enable (power input voltage), andaudio microphone.A group of fixtures joined by connecting data cables thatreceive data from a controller or master fixture.LuminaireAnother word for “fixture” or “lighting equipment.”Lightwave Research (LWR) protocolThe native control protocol for Trackspot, LWR protocol offersall the features of DMX 512 plus it gives you 10-bit resolutionfor mirror positioning.
