Features and Specifications
Unlike a fresnel wash or ellipsoidal spot fixture, the Studio Beam
®
is a third type of automated light featuring a
Pebble Convex (PC) lens that produces a unique quality
of light. This PC lens is similar to a fresnel lens in optical properties, but incorporates a diffusion pattern on its rear surface to produce a well-defined soft-edge beam without light spill.
Studio Beam
®
features a new MSR 700 watt, short-arc lamp and a patented combination elliptical/spherical reflector to yield over 20,000 lumens resulting in extremely high light output for a compact fixture of 21 kg (47 lbs). The aspheric lens system provides a broad zoom range from 15° to 26°. Fitted with full CMY Color
Mixing (plus three additional discrete dichroic colors), Studio Beam
®
also includes variable frost and a variable strobe that rivals speeds seen in dedicated strobe fixtures.
All Studio Beam
®
fixtures support
TalkBack” technology. Any DMX controller
supporting TalkBack protocol, like the HandShake™ handheld controllers from High
End Systems, can remotely access every option in the Studio Beam onboard menu
system. For more information, see “TalkBack™ Support for Remote Access” on page
Audio modulation is a new Studio Beam feature available when running Standard
protocol. Modulation is based on amplitude rather than beat and varies as the general sound level rises and falls. The effects of the modulation is seen best with music that has a wide dynamic sound range. Each fixture has an integral microphone and audio circuit to provide audio modulation for the following parameter functions:
• Color saturation changes on any single color mix wheel or combination of wheels with slow, medium or fast decay rates.
• Lenticular wheel motion (forward and reverse) to change beam shaping with slow, medium or fast decay rates.
• Frost flag opening and closing to change diffusion.
• Dimming.

Clamp
You must supply your own clamps and verify the clamp is capable of supporting the weight of the fixture. You can order deluxe C-clamps for a two-inch truss from your
High End Systems dealer/distributor (see “Optional Accessories” on page 1-4).
Mounting Procedure
Note: Due to the wide variety of possible lighting designs, High End Systems cannot make specific mounting recommendations. Consider the following procedure as a suggested guideline only.
To mount Studio Beam fixtures on a truss:
1. Disconnect power to the fixture. If the fixture has been operating, allow the fixture to cool before handling.
2. Use two people to mount each fixture: one person to hold the fixture while it is being secured in place, and one person to secure the fixture to its support and attach safety cables.
Always stand on a firm, stable surface when mounting a fixture to its support.
The fixture should be at a height where you can comfortably work on it, and should either be resting on a stable surface, or held securely. Do not allow one
person to both support and mount the fixture.
3. Attach suitable clamps through the center holes on the base of the fixture (see
Figure 2-3). Install two locking washers per clamp when attaching the clamps to
the fixture’s base.
4. Tighten the clamps firmly to the fixture’s base and to the support.

Linking the Fixtures
The combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a DMX 512 link determines the number of fixtures the link can support. Each Studio Beam
®
fixture uses 16 channels running standard protocol and 15 channels running flat protocol.
If you connect more than 32 fixtures to a link, you must use a DMX splitter. The 32 device limit complies with the EIA-485 standard. Connecting more than 32 devices per link without a DMX splitter will eventually deteriorate the digital signal.
Controllers, serial data distributors, data line optoisolators, and any fixtures using the
RS-422 DMX standard of serial communications (including Dataflash
®
AF1000 xenon strobes, and Intellabeam
®
fixtures) block software uploads, crossloads, or
TalkBack™ protocol on a link. Therefore, make sure you either put all of these devices after the Studio Beam
®
fixture on the link, or bypass these devices when you perform software uploads or crossloads
Data Cabling and Connectors
To link one or more fixtures to a controller and/or to each other, you must obtain data
cabling. You can either purchase cabling from High End Systems (see “Optional
Accessories” on page 1-4) or construct your own cabling.
If you choose to construct cabling, High End Systems recommends that you use datagrade cable. Data-grade cable is designed to carry a high-quality signal with less susceptibility to electromagnetic interference.

If you plan to control your fixtures in stand-alone mode (with no controller on the link), you must also install a female terminator in the Data In cable connector on the master fixture (the fixture assigned to DMX start channel 1). A terminator will prevent data reflection, which can corrupt the data communication on the link.
You can purchase a male 5-pin terminator from your High End Systems dealer/

Uploading Latest Fixture Software
The latest software for Studio Beam fixtures is available in the support section of the
HighEnd Systems web site (www.highend.com). There are three ways to upload new software to Studio Beam fixtures:
1. Attach a High End Systems Upload Dongle to your computer and upload the software to your Studio Beam fixture.
To use a High End Systems Upload Dongle, you need a 386-based (or faster) computer, MS DOS
® version 3.3 (or later) or Windows 95/98, and one MB of free disk space. To obtain an Upload Dongle (with installation and operation
instructions), contact your High End Systems dealer/distributor (see ‘Contacting
High End Systems” on page ii).
2. Upload the new software to all Studio Beam fixtures on the link using a
HandShake handheld controller or a Status Cue lighting console.
3. Crossload software from one fixture that contains the new software to all other
Studio Beam fixtures on the link. See “Crossloading Fixture Software (XLD)” on page 4-15.
Note: Before you can upload new software, you must disconnect any controllers, bypass any serial data distributors and/or data line optoisolators, and bypass or make sure that any fixtures using RS-422 communications (such as Dataflash
®
AF1000 xenon strobes, and
Intellabeam
®
fixtures) are located after the Studio Beam fixtures on the link. These devices will block communication with any other Studio Beam fixtures on the link.

Assigning a DMX Start Channel
The DMX start channel identifies each fixture on a DMX link. If you plan to control your fixtures with a DMX controller (or using synchronized preset playback), you must assign a DMX start channel to each fixture on the link.
If you always plan to use the fixture in stand-alone mode (without a controller or synchronized preset playback), you can skip this section.
Studio Beam
®
User Manual Setup and Configuration 2-9
There are 512 available channels on each DMX link. These 512 channels are divided among all the devices on a particular link. The number of channels each fixture requires is called the fixture’s channel range. Studio Beam fixtures running standard protocol have a 16-channel range. Studio Beam fixtures running flat protocol have a
15-channel range. The DMX start channel is the first channel available to a fixture in its channel range.
To assign a DMX start channel, you must access the fixture’s menu system via the alphanumeric LED display and four menu navigation buttons on the fixture’s front

The fixture’s channel range must not overlap any other device’s channel range on the link.* When two devices on the same DMX link have overlapping channel ranges, one or both devices will be disabled or behave erratically.
*Note: The single exception to the non-overlapping rule is if you want the fixtures to respond to controller commands in exactly the same way. In this case, the fixtures must be the same type (for example, two Studio Beam fixtures) and the fixtures must share the entire channel range.

Determining the DMX Start Channel
DMX Link with Multiple Fixture Types
This section describes how to determine start channels for the fixtures on a DMX link if you plan to mix different fixture types (for example, a Studio Beam fixture and a
Studio Spot 250 fixture) on the same DMX link.
To determine each fixture’s DMX start channel in a link, you must know the number of channels used by each fixture. Knowing that the first fixture on the link will use
DMX start channel 1, you can determine the DMX start channel for each successive fixture by adding the number of DMX channels used by the fixture to the fixture’s
DMX start channel. For example, in Table 2-1, 16 (channels used by Studio Beam
running) + 1 (DMX start channel for the first fixture) = 17 (DMX start channel for the next fixture on the link).

The fixtures can be addressed in any order on the link. If there are other fixtures in the link skipped channels, note that the maximum address for the last Studio Beam fixture running standard protocol on the link is 497 (channel range 497-512).
Studio Beam Only DMX Link
If your DMX link will have only Studio Beam fixtures running the same protocol,
utilize Table 2-2 and Table 2-3 for a listing of available DMX start channels for
successive fixtures on the link according to the protocol used.
Table 2-2 lists the DMX start channels for Studio Beam fixtures running standard
protocol. This table assumes that the fixtures are all assigned to the same link, one after another, and that all fixtures use the same number of channels (i.e. only Studio
Beam fixtures (or other devices using 16 DMX channels) on the link.
Table 2-3 lists the DMX start channels for Studio Beam fixtures running flat protocol.

• Accessing and setting fixture options
• Viewing fixture status
• Crossloading software
• Performing self tests
• DMX Programming for creating, storing, and playing scenes
The Onboard Menu System controls all these features via the LED display. A DMX controller can provide remote DMX programming to all fixtures on a link and, if it is running TalkBack protocol, remote control of other fixture operations listed above.
For more information on the Studio Beam Menu System, see Chapter 4 and the Menu
Map in Appendix D.
TalkBack™ Support for Remote Access
All Studio Beam fixtures support TalkBack” technology. TalkBack™ technology is a new feature that allows remote access to the menu system built into High End Systems fixtures. A DMX controller supporting TalkBack protocol like the HandShake™ handheld controllers from High End Systems, can remotely access any option in the
Studio Beam onboard menu system.
TalkBack protocol uses the normal DMX-512 connection for bi-directional communication with the fixture so physical access to the fixture is no longer required to perform operations like changing a DMX address or configuring preset programs. TalkBack protocol utilizes the primary DMX link (pins 2-3) in a half-duplex communication mode.
This means that it does not require pins 4-5 to be connected or used to receive TalkBack messages coming from the fixture.
TalkBack protocol uses a discovery process to find the unique number that is embedded inside each fixture, similar to a serial number. Once the fixtures have all been identified, the current fixture parameter settings and information can be accessed. Fixture access can happen at anytime, but the Talkback messages are only valid after the fixture starts homing.

DMX Programming Overview
A Construct (parameter) is a fixture attribute that can be controlled to modify the light beam in terms of color, beam quality and pattern, intensity, or focus (position). DMX programming assigns a DMX value to each of the fixture’s constructs. A scene
(sometimes referred to a look or a cue) is one combination of construct settings. These scenes are the building blocks for show creation.
Full Speed verses MSpeed Control
Some constructs can be set to operate at full speed or MSpeed (motor speed). Full speed operations are completed in the shortest length of time after the motor starts moving.
With MSpeed control, change occurs smoothly over the entire MSpeed time value selected. For example, if you select an MSpeed time of 30 seconds, the motor will gradually change position until it reaches its new destination at the end of 30 seconds.
DMX Protocols
Programming a fixture for a DMX link requires each construct be assigned to a specific
DMX channel in the fixture’s channel range. Channel assignments are based on the
DMX protocol used. There are two protocol’s available for Studio Beam fixtures; 16-
channel Standard, and 15-channel Flat. Table 3-1 lists the channel assignments for each
protocol. See “Appendix A” for Standard and Flat protocol DMX Tables.

DMX Programming Options
Studio Beam fixtures can be programmed to create and play back scenes with either a
DMX-compatible controller or with the Onboard Menu System Preset programming feature (for stand-alone operation). However, you cannot use both a DMX compatible controller and the fixture’s on-board menu system at the same time. In other words, you cannot create a scene using the on-board memory and play it back using a controller. You also cannot use a controller at the same time on-board scenes are playing.
Using a DMX controller, you can program an unlimited number of sequences
(combinations of scenes) and retain direct control over the Studio Beam fixture at all times. You may choose to save time by programming your fixtures using a controller and then capturing the scene(s) to the on-board memory of multiple Studio Beam fixtures.
If you plan to operate your fixtures without a DMX controller, you can utilize one of the fixtures on the link to synchronize preset playback among all fixtures of that type connected to the DMX link.
Note: Because controllers cannot transmit crossfade or delay construct values, you must use preset programming in the onboard menu system to manually set those construct values at the fixture.

Construct Function Descriptions
The following sections describe the Constructs (Parameters) for Studio Beam fixtures running Standard or Flat DMX Protocol. All DMX values indicated in the detailed
construct descriptions are in decimal units. See “Appendix A” for complete DMX tables.
Pan and Tilt Constructs
Channels 1– 4 control the Pan and Tilt constructs in both the Standard and Flat Protocol.
The Studio Beam fixture has a 540° pan range and a 256° tilt range. DMX channels 1 and
3 allow coarse adjustment to approximately one degree of the desired pan and tilt position. DMX channels 2 and 4 allow fine adjustment to a fraction of a degree of the desired pan and tilt position.
In Standard protocol, the pan and tilt motion for Studio Beam fixtures is controlled with
MSpeed values by default (see “MSpeed (Motor Speed) Construct” on page 3-12). If you
choose to control the Pan and Tilt constructs with DMX controller crossfading, set Pan/
Tilt MSpeed off in the Control construct (see the DMX tables in “Appendix A” ). Flat
protocol does not have an MSpeed construct.
Note: Optical encoders for pan and tilt correct the fixture’s position if the fixture is jarred from its programmed position. If a physical obstruction prevents the fixture from correcting its position, the fixture “times out” to prevent wear on the motors. If your fixture has timed out, remove the obstruction and home the fixture to return it to normal operation.
Color Function Construct
The Color function construct is controlled with DMX Channel 5 in Standard Protocol and
Channel 11 in Flat Protocol. This construct determines how the color wheels move.
In Standard Protocol
In Standard protocol, the Color Function mode can be enabled in either full speed
(controller crossfading the wheel positions), or MSpeed (MSpeed control of the wheel
motor). For more information on MSpeed, see “MSpeed (Motor Speed) Construct” on page 3-12.
The Color Function you choose will effect which construct values are available for each
individual color wheel (Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow). Table 3-2 describes the Color
Functions available on the Studio Beam fixture.

Dim Construct
The Dim construct is controlled with DMX Channel 13 in Standard protocol and DMX
Channel 5 in Flat protocol. The Dim construct provides full dimming capability without changing the color temperature or the beam shape. The dim values range from closed
(DMX value of 0) to fully open (DMX value of 255).
In Standard protocol, Audio Modulation is available for the Dim construct when the
Control channel value is set from 206–209.
MSpeed (Motor Speed) Construct
The MSpeed construct is controlled with DMX Channel 14 in Standard protocol. There is no MSpeed construct in Flat protocol.
MSpeed is the time required for a motor to complete movement when changing from one position to another. MSpeed provides a means for all motors to reach their target position at the same time, even though each motor may have different distances to travel.
MSpeed movement is extremely smooth because the fixture controls its own movements and is not dependent on DMX refresh rates.
MSpeed times vary from 0.15 seconds to 252.7 seconds. However, if you apply MSpeed to a construct, be sure that the delay value (length of time allowed for the entire scene) is longer than the MSpeed value to allow the motors to complete their movement before the end of the cue. An MSpeed value that is longer than the delay value could produce an undesirable result; for example, no light output during the scene. For a listing of exact
MSpeed times, see “Appendix B” .
By default, MSpeed is applied to Pan and Tilt positioning. However, you can disable
MSpeed for pan and tilt with the control construct (see Table 3-13 on page 3-13 and
“Appendix A” ). You can also apply MSpeed times to the Color Function settings, see
“Color Function Construct” on page 3-4.
Macro Construct
Channel 15 controls the Macro construct in Standard protocol. There is no Macro construct in Flat protocol.
Internal Effects™ macros are factory-programmed sequences which allow you to quickly program complicated looks in one scene (cue). Each Internal Effect™ macro modifies a specific set of constructs, while allowing user control of all other constructs in the scene.
The amplitude of the position macro movement is determined by the Pan Coarse channel and Tilt Coarse channel, respectively. The MSpeed channel controls the speed of the macros.
With the MSpeed set at the default value of DMX 0-4, an Internal Effects macro completes its movement in approximately 2.5 seconds. This provides a pleasing look when the additional variation given by using the MSpeed channel is not required. With

the MSpeed set between DMX 5-255, Internal Effects macros complete movement at the selected MSpeed time (up to 25 seconds).
Those fixture types that support On Board Programming also support the Internal
Effects macros as part of the On Board programming features. The Internal Effects macros operate as an additional programming parameter labeled MACR.
The four Internal Effect available on a standard configuration Studio Beam fixture are
Pan Sweep, Tilt Sweep, Clockwise Circle and Counterclockwise Circle.

Control Construct
The Control construct is controlled with DMX Channel 16 in Standard protocol and
Channel 15 in Flat protocol. Basic settings are similar in both protocols, but in Standard protocol, the Control construct also activates certain Shutter, Lamp and Audio modulation functions on other Channels.
Table 3-13 describes the Control setting in Standard Protocol. To access all control
settings in Standard Protocol (except for Pan & Tilt MSpeed Off), first select a control channel value, then set the Shutter channel to “0.”

Preset Menu (PRST)
Studio Beam fixtures have 16 preset scenes for each of two user modes (A and B) for a total of 32 preset scenes. Some Preset menu options can be accessed for either user mode. However, you must first set the fixture to User A or User B. For more information,
see “Setting the User Type (USER)” on page 4-13.
The Preset menu allows you to turn preset playback off or on, view which scene is currently playing, create/edit a scene using the on-board memory to program the fixture for stand-alone operation, copy a scene from the on-board memory to another scene, and capture a scene from your controller to the on-board memory. This menu also allows you to enable the factory-programmed preset sequence.
All preset functions use Standard protocol. If the fixture is set to use Flat protocol for control from a DMX controller, the fixture switches to Standard protocol when preset editing or preset playback are selected. The fixture reverts to the Flat protocol when present editing or playback is exited. Preset capture can only be accomplished when the fixture is being controlled with Standard protocol.

Creating a Loop
A loop is a series of programmed scenes that continuously plays in sequential order. To
create a loop, you must first create two or more contiguous scenes (see “Step-by-Step
Scene Creation” on page 4-27). After you have created your scenes, go to the next
available scene and choose the “ZERO” menu option to erase any programmed parameter values and mark the end of the loop.
Note: If you program all available on-board scenes, you do not have to mark the end of the loop. When preset playback is set on, the fixture will automatically loop after playback of all programmed scenes.
Playing Back a Loop
To play back a loop, you must set preset playback on for each fixture (see “Setting Preset
Playback (PLAY)” on page 4-3). When preset playback is set on, your fixture will
automatically begin playing back the first scene and continue through the loop.
Note: Scene 1 must be programmed to enable preset playback.
The fixture has two ways to indicate that preset playback is on. First, the display will show a dot in the lower right
corner (see Figure 4-5). Second, during normal operation,
the seven-segment LED cycled information will be changed to display “PRST” instead of the fixture’s software version (“Vxxx”).
If power is removed during playback, the fixture will home and begin playback at the first scene. To stop playback,
manually set playback mode off, (see “Setting Preset
Playback (PLAY)” on page 4-3).

Note: Synchronizing preset playback is applicable for fixtures operating in stand-alone mode only. Do not include a DMX controller in the link while synchronizing preset scene playback.
Synchronizing playback allows you to set all applicable fixtures to a “master clock” so that all fixtures have a definite, synchronized starting point when playing back their sequences (or loops). It is the master fixture (the fixture assigned DMX start channel 1) which determines the sequence length for all the other fixtures in the link (slave fixtures), regardless of the number of programmed scenes or the sequence length of the individual slave fixtures.

When the master fixture reaches the end of its last scene, all fixtures will restart at scene
1 (regardless of whether the slave fixtures have finished playing their scenes) and all the
“clocks” will be reset to zero. For example, if a slave fixture has a shorter sequence length, it will continuously repeat its sequence until the master fixture resets all the
clocks (see Figure 4-6). If a slave fixture has a longer sequence length, it will restart at
scene 1 before it completes its entire sequence.

To enable synchronized playback:
1. Link the fixtures you want to synchronize (see “Linking the Fixtures” on page 2-5).
Make sure you terminate both the first and the last fixtures in the link and that there are no DMX controllers on the link.
2. Assign one fixture as the master fixture by assigning it a unique DMX start channel 1
or fixture number 1 (see “Uploading Latest Fixture Software” on page 2-9). Make
sure no other fixture on the link is assigned DMX start channel 1 or fixture number 1.

If you shut down the lamp using a remote shutdown command, the lamp and the Lamp LED will shut off normally. However, if you have bad data cables, no data cables/controller connected to the fixture, or the controller is off, the lamp and its LED will also be off. If correcting these problems does not turn the lamp on, see the next section.
Neither the Transmit nor the Receive LED will be on until you have connected the fixture to a DMX 512-compatible controller using XLR data-grade cabling. If these LEDs remain OFF even though you have connected the fixture to a controller and are sending DMX 512 commands to the fixture, see the next section.

The shutter functions are the same as in the normal shutter function range. Periodic strobes, random random and random synchronous strobes are lamp assisted.
Lamp functions. Accessed when the Control channel is set in the range
138-141
For lamp boost effects, the lamp is boosted above the 700 Watt level for the specified period of time. The lamp is also boosted during the lightning effects.
Before another boost or lightning effect can occur, the shutter channel must be moved to either closed or open, or the control channel must be moved outside the lamp function range.
Boost functions to black will boost the lamp for the specified time then close the shutter. Boost functions to white will boost the lamp for the specified time, then leave the shutter open with the lamp dimmed.
When lightning functions are selected, the dim channel scales the overall brightness of the lightning stroke. Dim at 255 will yield maximum brightness.
