3.Introduction
TheDigitalSpot7000DTfeaturesmovingheadwithavideoprojectionandautomatedlightingtechnologies
includingaDMXcontrollabledigitalmediaserverinstalledinafixture´sbase.Thebuilt‐in32‐bitGraphicsEngine
utilizesLinuxandDirectXapplicationprogramminginterfacetoprovideextensiveimagecontrolofgraphicobjects.
TheDigitalspot7000DTusesDMX512protocoltocontrolhardwarefunctionslikepan,tilt,andfocus,aswellas
mediafixturecapabilitiesincludingloadingimagesandmovies.Thegraphicsengineallowsyoumanipulate
position,scale,rotation,applyvisualeffectsandcolourmixeachimage.
S‐VideoandVGAinputsfordirectinputtodataprojectorsarehandyforperformingpresentations.

BothVGA(13)andS‐Video(14)inputsprovidedirectconnectiontotheprojector.Theinputsareintendedfora
staticpresentationasdatagoingthroughtheinputscannotbeprocessedinagraphicsengine,itmeansthat
graphicseffectsfromaDMXprotocolwillnotbeusable.Inthisuseofthefixture,thefunctionofKeystoningfroma

6.1PoweringontheDigitalSpot7000DT
WhenthefixtureisconnectedtotheACmainssupplyandthepowerswitchison,itautomaticallybeginsahoming
proceduretoverifythatallfunctionsofthefixtureanditsinternalprojectorareingoodorder.
6.2“Powerdown”mode
Thismodeomitsfixtureresetafterswitchingthefixtureonanddeactivatesallmotors.The"Powerdownmode"is
usefulinspecialeventse.g.ifthefixtureisplacedinaflightcaseandyouwanttosetitsDMXaddresswithout
takingitoutfromthecase.Toenterthe"Powerdownmode",pressandholdthe[ENTER]buttonandatthesame
timeswitchonthePowerswitch.Pressthe[ESC]buttontoseeanotice"PowerDownMode."
Nowyoucanusethefixturemenutosetdesiredbehaviouroftheunit.Ifyouwanttogotothestandard
operationmodewithoutswitchingthefixtureoff,runtotalresetofthefixture(menuitemResetallSystems).

7.ShuttingdowntheDigitalSpot7000DT
Therearetworecommendedwayshowtoshutdownthefixture:
1- DVI-I input (optional) - graph. engine
2- VGA input (optional)- graph.engine
3- 2x USB
4 - DMX output (5-pin XLR )

2.Theoption"FixtureOff"inmainmenuofDigitalSpot7000DTswitchesofftheprojector´slampandshuts
downthefixture.
Aftershuttingdownthefixtureswitchthepowerswitchontherearsideofthefixturebasetotheoffpositionin
ordertosaveenergy.
Removingpowerdirectlywithouttheshutdownprocedure
canreducefixturereliability!
8.PositioningtheDigitalSpot7000DT
TheDigitalSpot7000DTisdesignedtobeinstalledinoneoffourpossibleinstallationlocations:
1.FrontTable‐thefixtureisplacednearthefloorinfrontofthescreen.
2.FrontCeiling‐thefixtureissuspendedupside‐downfromtheceiling(truss)infrontofthescreen.
SetCeilingProjectioninthemenuPersonality("Personality‐‐‐>"ProjectionPresetting"
‐‐‐>"CeilingProjection"‐‐‐>"On")
3.RearTable‐thefixtureisplacednearthefloorbehindthescreen.SetRearProjectioninthemenu
Personality("Personality‐‐‐>"ProjectionPresetting"‐‐‐>"RearProjection"‐‐‐>"On")
Notethataspecialrearprojectionscreenisrequired.
4.RearCeiling‐thefixtureissuspendedupside‐downfromtheceiling(truss)behindthescreen.
SetRearProjectioninthemenuPersonality("Personality‐‐‐>"ProjectionPresetting"‐‐‐>
"RearProjection"‐‐‐>"On")andCeilingProjection("Personality‐‐‐>"ProjectionPresetting"
  ‐‐‐>"CeilingProjection"‐‐‐>"On")
Notethataspecialrearprojectionscreenisrequired.
Whendeterminingthepositionofthefixtureandprojectionscreen,youwillneedtoaccountfortheprojected
imagesize,whichisdirectlyproportionaltotheprojectiondistance.Thereisachartof4:3aspect‐ratioscreen
sizeswithathrowdistanceratioof1.8‐2.4:1toassistyouindeterminingtheideallocationforyourfixture.

Note:Thereisatoleranceamongthesenumbersduetoopticalcomponentvariations.Werecommendthatifyou
intendtopermanentlyinstalltheDigitalSpot7000DT,youshouldphysicallytesttheprojectionsizeanddistance
usingtheactualfixtureinmbeforeyoupermanentlyinstallit,soastomakeallowanceforthisprojector'soptical
characteristics.Thiswillhelpyoudeterminetheexactmountingpositionsothatitbestsuitsyourinstallation
location
9.Riggingthefixture

Pleaseconsidertherespectivenationalnormsduringtheinstallation!

Verifythetrussorsupportwillhandlethecombinedweightofallthefixturesonthetruss
Alwaysuseasecondarysafetycablewhenmountingthisfixture
Whenrigging,deriggingorservicingthefixturestayingintheareabelowtheinstallationplace,onbridges,under
highworkingplacesandotherendangeredareasisforbidden.
Theoperatorhastomakesurethatsafety‐relatingandmachine‐technicalinstallationsareapprovedbyanexpert
beforetakingintooperationforthefirsttimeandafterchangesbeforetakingintooperationanothertime.
Theoperatorhastomakesurethatsafety‐relatingandmachine‐technicalinstallationsareapprovedbyaskilled
persononceayear.
Toensurereliableoperationoftheproductandtoprotectitfromoverheating,theventsmustnotbeblockedor
covered.
Hotairisexhaustedfromtheexhaustvent.Donotputanyflammableobjectnearthefixture,hotairisexhausted
fromtheairvents.

Keeptheexhaustventsatleast1mawayfromanyobjects.

Donottouchperipheralpartsoftheexhaustvent,especiallyscrews,gridsandmetallicparts.Theseareas
willbecomehotwhilethefixtureisbeingused.
Donotputanythingonthefixture.Objectsputonthefixturewillnotonlygetdamagedbutalsomaycausefire
hazardbyheat.
Allowthefixturetocoolfor20minutesbeforehandling.
Thefixtureshouldbeinstalledoutofthereachofpeople.

Werecommendavoidingdusty/smokyenvironmentswhenoperatingthefixture.Usageintheseenvironments
maycauseapoorimagequality.Whenusingthefixtureunderdustyorsmokyconditions,dustmayaccumulate
onalens,liquidcrystalpanels,oropticalelementsinsidetheprojector.Suchconditionmaydegradethequality
oftheprojectedimage.

Overheadriggingrequiresextensiveexperience,includingcalculationofworkingloadlimits,installationmaterial
beingused,andperiodicsafetyinspectionofallinstallationmaterialandthefixture.Ifyoulackthesequalifications,
donotattempttheinstallationyourself,butinsteaduseaprofessionalstructuralrigger.Improperinstallationcan
resultinbodilyinjuryandordamagetoproperty.

Thefixturemustneverbefixedswingingfreelyintheroom.

Use2appropriateclampstorigthefixtureonatruss.

Makesurethatthedeviceisfixedproperly!
Ensurethatthestructure(truss)towhichyouareattaching
thefixturesissecure.


DigitalSpot7000DT

10
Foroverheaduse,alwaysinstallasafetycablethatcanholdatleast10timestheweightofthefixture.Youmust
onlyusesafetycableswithscrew‐oncarbines.Pullthesafetycablethroughthetwoaperturesonthebottomof
thebaseandoverthetrussingsystemetc.Inserttheendinthecarbineandtightenthefixationscrew.

ApairoftheOmegaholderscanbeplacedin4positionsonthebottomofthebase.Use2clamps(notsupplied)
withscrewsM12.




TobuildaDMXchain
1.ConnecttheDMXoutputofthefirstfixtureintheDMXchainwiththeDMXinputofthenextfixture.Always
connectoneoutputwiththeinputofthenextfixtureuntilallfixturesareconnected.
2.Usemenu"DMXSettings"tosettheDMXstartaddressonallfixtures(seethe"Fixtureaddress"menu).
3.TheoptionActivateDMXmodehastobeconfirmedinthe“DMXSettings"menuonallfixtures.
Donotoverloadthelink.Max.32fixturesmaybeconnectedonaDMXlink.
