The ColorWiz Scroller

Dear All!

 

Would anyone happen to know any technical knowledge of 'The ColourWiz' Colour Scroller. They are 120V American and produced back in 1985 - 1987. Wybron has no support for these units.

 

The Colour scroller is a 3 pin XLR input, with 0-10V DC written below. They have a 110-120V tail, which powers the scroller. So does this mean, that they only require a +/- & Common Signal?

 

The Power unit is an ETC Response. This has 5 Pin DMX input & Thru and AMX 192 (4 pin) Input & Thru. We also have an 6 way multi XLR box which hasn't got a tail. But someone who removed it has left the pin configuration.

 

All these units are working, But I can't locate the cables required to connect the PSU to the Scroller. Any Advice on these would be grateful.

 

Cheers

PIN 1 - Orange

PIN 3 - Green

PIN 4 - Orange/Green

PIN 5 - Red

PIN 6 - BLACK

Earth - White

 

Found an Article on them..........Seems like Great American Market (GAM) supplied them, but wybron manufactured them.

 

'The Riviera'

 

Larry Robbins of Uncle Fester Productions in Las Vegas uses both Colorwiz and Colormax, the grand daddy of all color changers.

I have found that the Vital key is the XLR patch bay. This sends the Scrollers the 3 Pin signal for ?????Analog or Digital? as the scrollers only have a 3 PIN input, you can't daisy chain them! But as someone has removed the tail connector but left the pin configuration, what is the end connector? and would I still be able to get this connector today?

 

This is not an usual question asked upon Blue-Room, but this is a challenge! Would anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get these units working?

 

The Lighting console is a ETC Vision, made back in the war times I guess! You can find all the technical information on the ETC Website.

All the help I can get would be grateful!
