Chapter 15:
Live Video Input and Control
The graphics engine in a DL.3 fixture can receive video from an external
source or its own integrated digital video camera equipped with an
infared illuminator to provide a direct digital video feed option.
Live Video Sources
Internal Camera
Every DL.3 is equipped with a internal video camera and IR illuminator capable of capturing
live video even in blackout conditions.
The camera is mounted on the front of the unit near the projector iris to point wherever the
fixture is directed.
All of the camera functions can be controlled via a DMX console (see “Controlling the Internal
Camera Input” on page 15-185).
Other Video Sources
A DL.3 fixture can also project other live video sources connected to the fixture’s SDI, RGBHV,
or S-Video input ports. Live SDI or S-Video input can then be enhanced and manipulated by
the graphics engine. Video input via RGBHV bypasses the internal graphics engine and is
projected without change.
NOTE: You can configure the graphics engine to capture video from an external
source or the internal camera but not from both at the same time.
