The Studio Command Series offer powerful washlights featuring a large exiting beam with a
compact head. All models use a patented lenticular array optical system to enhance the
homogeneity of the projected light. The moving yoke fixtures feature an adjustable field angle
from 18 to 32 degrees, and a CMY dichroic color-mixing system that provides rapid and quiet
color changes.
Studio Command 1200 and 700 models use proven Philips long-life MSR lamps. These models
also offer a variable mechanical and electronic strobe, boosted with the Light Burst™ effect, and
a mechanical douser for smooth fade to black. The Studio Command 1200/700 models uses 14
channels on a DMX link.
The Studio Command H model offers a Tungsten source and works with standard theater
dimming racks. The H model requires 13 DMX channels plus one channel dedicated to the
dimmer.
All Studio Command fixtures provide an option for standalone programming and support
TalkBack™technology that allows any DMX console supporting TalkBack protocol to remotely
access the Studio Command onboard menu system.

Setup and Configuration
Unpacking the Fixture
Unpack your Studio Command™fixture and verify that it arrived
undamaged. Inspect both the outside of the fixture for physical
damage and the inside of the fixture for damage to glass
components.
To access the internal components, release the two bezel latches
(one latch located on each side of the fixture’s head) and remove
the bezel.
If the fixture is damaged, notify both the shipping agent and your
sales agent immediately.
Do not discard the shipping carton and packing materials. The carton and packing
materials are specifically designed to protect the product during transport.
High End Systems assumes no responsibility for products that are damaged during transport.
Always return a product for repair in its original shipping carton and packing materials.
Note: Before sending anything to the factory, call your High End Systems
dealer/distributor for a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number.
The factory cannot accept any goods shipped without an RMA number.
Installing an Attachment Plugs
Studio Command fixtures do not ship with molded attachment plugs on the fixture power cable
and, in the case of Studio Command-H fixtures, the dimmer power cable. Different locations
(even within the same country) may require a different attachment plug to connect your fixture
to a power outlet. Because of the variety of attachment plugs used worldwide, High End
Systems, Inc. cannot make specific recommendations for the particular attachment plug you
should use. Contact a local authority if you are unsure which type of attachment plug you need
to obtain. Note that the cores in the mains lead are colored according to the following code:
• green and yellow = earth
• blue = neutral
• brown = live

Installing the Lamp (Studio Command-H Fixtures Only)
1. Tilt the fixture’s head to access the lamp cap and
using a wide tip, flat head screwdriver, loosen
(but do not remove) the two lamp assembly
screws.
2. Pull the lamp assembly straight out of the
fixture. The lamp assembly is connected to the
fixture by lamp socket wires. Support the lamp
assembly while replacing the lamp. Do not
allow the lamp socket wires to support the
weight of the lamp assembly.
3. Remove all packaging materials from the new
lamp. Holding the new lamp by its ceramic base,
gently press the two base pins into the
B
lamp socket until the lamp is firmly
seated.
Caution: When handling the new lamp, avoid contact with
the lamp glass. If the lamp glass is soiled by oil or
dirt from skin, gloves, etc., clean the cold lamp
glass with an alcohol wipe. A soiled lamp could
overheat and burst, causing damage to the fixture.
