Intro to the Transition

Transition Product Introduction
Wybron is pleased to announce the introduction of the Transition fiber illuminator.
Contained within a small easy to integrate package and ultra bright fiber optic
illuminator, the Transition brings quality and durability to your venue. In addition,
the Transition is designed to be an integral component of Wybron’s industry
leading Infotrace system.
The Transition is a high specification performance fiber optic illuminator in a
small easy to integrate package. The Transition produces a high lumen output
with a CRI of greater than 85 by using an efficient 150 UHI source. The UHI lamp
has a rated life span of 10,000 hours minimizing maintenance concerns. The
precision-engineered lamp housing and reflector allow for lamp changes and no
in-the-field lamp optimization. With its dichroic-coated borosilicate cold mirror
reflector and hexagonal color integration element, the Transition isolates the fiber
bundle from heat and UV radiation. Additionally the Transition is engineered so
that it will not burn PMMA fiber.
The Transition fiber illuminator features a color module capable of producing
millions of colors. The Transition uses four channels of DMX control; cyan,
magenta, yellow and a mechanical dimmer. Transitions colors are mixed by
using durable dichroic coated borosilicate glass, the colors will not fade over the
expected lifetime of the device. Precision control allows for smooth subtle fades
or near instantaneous jumps to new colors.
As previously noted, the Transition fibber illuminator is compatible with and can
be incorporated into Wybron’s InfoTrace, a 2-way DMX / RDM (Remote Device
Management) communication and management system.
The heart of the InfoTrace (IT) system is InfoGate — specialized hardware &
software that uses the bi-directional communications protocol, Remote Device
Management (RDM), to communicate with potentially every piece of equipment
mounted on a lighting rig.
RDM packets are interleaved with DMX-512 data packets. These RDM
command / response packets allow configuration, control, interrogation and
response.

Transition Quick Start Configuration
1. Connect the Equipment
a) Connect fiber bundle common end to the Transition output port.
b) Connect the Transition to a DMX source with a 5-pin cable
c) Connect to AC power (110 – 240 VAC 50/60Hz)
2. Control Transition with DMX
Leave Transition addressed at channel 1 (factory default)
DMX channel 1 controls Cyan (0% = no color, 100% = full saturation)
DMX channel 2 controls Magenta (0% = no color, 100% = full
saturation)
DMX channel 3 controls Yellow (0% = no color, 100% = full saturation)
DMX channel 4 controls Dimmer (0% = no output, 100% = full output)
DMX channel 5 controls Twinkle wheel (Transition TW model
only)
3. Control Transition using Demo Mode
a) Press ‘Menu’ until display reads ‘dEn
b) Press ‘Enter’, display will read ‘OFF’
c) Press ‘+’ or ‘-‘ to scroll through demo mode options
d) Press ‘Enter’ at the desired demo mode. Transition will
immediately begin executing the demo loop.

Remove lamp plate by unscrewing mounting screws and pulling the
lamp assembly straight back from the illuminator.
Grasping lamp by the base remove old lamp from the socket.
Insert new lamp into base. Lamp is fully seated when spring clips snap
over lamp base.
CAUTION: Touching the glass lamp envelope can reduce lamp life.
Handle new lamps with a clean cloth. Fingerprints can
be cleaned off the lamp envelope with alcohol and a
clean cloth.
