Introduction
The Source Four Mini has four field-angle choices and comes in a portable version
with a yoke mounted transformer, a canopy-mount design with an integral
transformer, and a track-mount design with an integral transformer. Surprisingly
bright for its size, the Mini offers crystal-clear image projection and a bright, even
field.
There are three versions of the Source Four Mini. This manual covers common
features for all versions. For information on installing the canopy and track-mount
variations, see the Source Four Mini Canopy and Track-Mount Kits Installation
Guide.

Colour Frame Holder
The Source Four Mini comes equipped with a 70mm colour frame, which is a metal
frame used to hold colour media (often referred to as gel) in front of the lens. The
colour frame holder is equipped with a retaining clip that prevents the colour frame
from falling out.

pushing it up.

Step 3: Lock the retaining clip by gently pushing it
down.
Additional accessories are available for the Mini that
also fit into the colour frame holder. Those
accessories are top hat, short top hat, half hat, short
half hat, and donut. When an accessory is used, the colour frame should be
installed in the rear slot of the holder.
WARNING:
Make sure the colour frame is locked in position with the
retaining clip.
Note:
The colour frame should be inserted open side down.
2.54cm Diameter
Gobo Pattern Projection

top side of the shutter barrel, in front of the shutter. It
accommodates a E-size (37.5mm with a 25.4mm

Use an optional donut in the colour frame holder to
enhance pattern projection.
When the slot is not in use, a small sheet metal cover
secured with a Phillips screw prevents light leakage.
Step 1: Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the
screw on the slot cover. Do not remove the
screw.
Step 2: Slide the cover completely forward to
expose the slot.
Step 3: Insert the gobo holder.
Step 4: Slide the slot cover back toward the
shutters until it meets the handle. Leave
enough space to move the handle.
Step 5: Secure the slot cover by tightening the
screw.
