dominic_bs Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Hi I'm new to using anything that moves and I have a question about using a clay paky miniscan 150 with a fatfrog. One of the DMX channels control aperture and strobe and gobos. 0-30% is aperture, then strobe30-50% then gobo sequence.I want to use the miniscans theatrically and fade them up to a particular brightness with a particular gobo as well. Is this possible? Or is the aperture fully open when using a gobo? thanks Dominic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dikkiharwood Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Looking at the manual online, I'm assuming I got the right one! It dosen't look as if you can adjust the brightness and gobo independently on that fixture. One idea that just came to me though; is that if you could change the colours in the colour wheel, you might be able to get away with varying colours/brightness using the colour wheel. Far from ideal but it could work. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Steve Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 The MS 150 and 300 do not have a "dimmer" they use the gobo wheel for black. The HPE has a mechanical dimmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
