Source Four CE User Manual

English

Shaping the beam

The beam can be shaped using the shutters (see

Figure 8

), a gobo, an optional drop-in iris, or by

rotating the barrel.

Gobo Projection

The gobo holder slot is on the top side of the barrel and in front of the shutters. It accommodates

A-size, B-size and glass gobo holders (see

Figure 7

).

Use an optional donut in the accessory holder to enhance gobo projection. Donut diameter range

should be 6.35 cm to 6.98 cm.

Drop-In Iris Slot

The drop-in iris slot is located on the top of the barrel and in front of the gobo holder slot. It

accommodates either a drop-in iris or a motorized gobo device. When the slot is not in use, a small

sheet metal cover secured with two Phillips screws prevents light leakage (see

Figure 8

).

Step 1:

Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws on the drop-in iris slot cover. Do not

remove screws.

Step 2:

Slide the cover completely forward to expose the slot.

N o t e :

Because the Source Four luminaire aperture is 7.62 cm wide, ETC recommends

using A-size gobos for maximum effectiveness.

N o t e :

Enhanced Definition Lens Tubes (EDLT) provide for a crisper gobo projection.
