4.1 Placing fixture head covers
The head cooling fans are fixed in head covers and their supply is realized by a pair of springy contacts.
The head covers cannot be interchanged otherwise the fans will not work.
Pay attention to correct placing the covers on the fixture head.
The top head cover (1) does not have air vents at its front and shelters the top projector side with the lamp
cover (3).
The bottom head cover (2) has air vents at its front and shelters bottom projector side.
5. Video inputs
Both Composite (8) and S-Video (9) inputs provide direct connection to the projector. The inputs are intended
for a static presentation as data going through the inputs cannot be processed in a graphics engine ,it means
that graphics effects from a DMX protocol will not be usable. In this use of the fixture, the function of Keystoning
from a DMX protocol will not operate. Next both inputs Composite (10) and S-Video (11) enable to process
data in a graphics engine, it is means that you can use all spectrum of effects that the DMX protocol offers

6.1 Powering on the DigitalSpot 3000 DT
When the fixture is connected to the AC mains supply and the power switch is on, it automatically begins a
homing procedure to verify that all functions of the fixture and its internal projector are in good order.
7. Shutting down the DigitalSpot 3000 DT
There are two recommended ways how to shutdown the fixture:
1. A DMX controller can switch off the projector lamp and shut down the fixture with the "Lamp Off, Fixture Off" option on the control channel 8 (see DMX protocol).
2. The option "Fixture Off" in main menu of DigitalSpot 3000 DT switches off the projector´s lamp and shuts
down the fixture.
After shutting down the fixture switch the power switch on the rear side of the fixture base to the off
position in order to save energy. .
Removing power directly without the shutdown procedure
can reduce fixture reliability!
8. Positioning the DigitalSpot 3000 DT
The DigitalSpot 3000 DT is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations:
1. Front Table - the fixture is placed near the floor in front of the screen.
2. Front Ceiling - the fixture is suspended upside-down from the ceiling (truss) in front of the screen.
Set Ceiling Projection in the menu Personality ("Personality--->"Projection Presetting"
--->"Ceiling Projection"--->"On")
3. Rear Table - the fixture is placed near the floor behind the screen. Set Rear Projection in the menu
Personality ("Personality--->"Projection Presetting"--->"Rear Projection"--->"On")
Note that a special rear projection screen is required.
4. Rear Ceiling - the fixture is suspended upside-down from the ceiling (truss) behind the screen.
Set Rear Projection in the menu Personality ("Personality--->"Projection Presetting"--->
"Rear Projection"--->"On") and Ceiling Projection ("Personality--->"Projection Presetting"
--->"Ceiling Projection"--->"On")
Note that a special rear projection screen is required.
When determining the position of the fixture and projection screen, you will need to account for the projected
image size, which is directly proportional to the projection distance.
There is a table of 4:3 aspect-ratio screen sizes to assist you in determining the ideal location for your fixture.

* Min zoom is default setting.Max. zoom is possible after manual adjustment only. See instructions below.
Note: There is 3% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. We recommend
that if you intend to permanently install the DigitalSpot 3000 DT, you should physically test the projection size
and distance using the actual fixture in m before you permanently install it, so as to make allowance for this
projector's optical characteristics. This will help you determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits
your installation location
8.1 Changing the zoom
1. Turn the power off and if the projector lamp was on, wait 10 minutes until the projector has cooled.
2. Remove the top cover of the fixture head by loosening the four quarter-turn fasteners (1).
3. Unscrew 2 fastening screws (2) which securing the focus driving motor (3). Turn the motor up in order to
allow an access to the zoom ring (4).
4. Turn the zoom ring to the right position to set max. zoom. (Left position-min. zoom-default setting).
5. Tilt the focus driving motor back to the chassis and secure it by 2 crews.
6. Fasten the top cover back on the fixture head.
9. Rigging the fixture
Please consider the respective national norms during the installation!
Verify the truss or support will handle the combined weight of all the fixtures on the truss
Always use a secondary safety cable when mounting this fixture
When rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges,
under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert
before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled
person once a year.
To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, the vents must not be blocked
or covered.
Hot air is exhausted from the exhaust vent. Do not put any flammable object near the fixture, hot air is exhausted
from the air vents.
Keep the exhaust vents at least 1 m away from any objects.
Do not touch peripheral parts of the exhaust vent, especially screws, grids and metallic parts. These areas
will become hot while the fixture is being used.
Do not put anything on the fixture. Objects put on the fixture will not only get damaged but also may cause fire
hazard by heat.
Allow the fixture to cool for 20 minutes before handling.
The fixture has to be installed out of the reach of people.
IMPORTANT! Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including calculation of working load limits,
installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the fixture. If you
lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger.
Improper installation can result in bodily injury and or damage to property.
The fixture must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.
Caution: Fixtures may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of
a possible installation, do not install the fixture.
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the fixture’s
weight.
Use 2 appropriate clamps to rig the fixture on a truss.
Make sure that the device is fixed properly!
Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching
the fixtures is secure.
A pair of the Omega holders can be placed in 2 positions on the bottom of the base. Use 2 clamps (not supplied) with screws M12.
For overhead use, always install a safety cable that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. You must
only use safety cables with screw-on carbines. Pull the safety cable through the two apertures on the bottom of
the base and over the trussing system etc. Insert the end in the carbine and tighten the fixation screw.
To install the fixture on the truss:
1. Bolt clamp (1) to the omega
holder (2) with M12 bolt and lock nut
through the hole in the holder.
2. Fasten the omega holders on the
bottom of the base by inserting both
quick-lock fasteners (3) into the holes of
the base and tighten fully clockwise.
3. Fasten the safety-rope (4) through the
two apertures in the bottom of the base
and over the trussing system.
Before taking into operation for the first time,
the installation has to be approved by an expert!
10
10. DMX-512 connection
The fixture is equipped with both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. The sockets are wired
in parallel.
Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 and 3-pin or 5-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in
order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.

If you are using the standard DMX controllers, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly with
the DMX input of the first fixture in the DMX chain. If you wish to connect DMX controllers with other XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter cables.
Building a serial DMX chain:
1. Connect the DMX output of the first fixture in the DMX chain with the DMX input of the next fixture. Always
connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
2. Use menu "DMX Settings " to set the DMX start address on all fixtures (see "Fixture address" menu).
3. The option Activate DMX mode has to be confirmed in “DMX Settings" menu on all fixtures.
Example:
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin (or 5-pin) XLR plug and plug it into the DMX output of the last
fixture.
11
11. Ethernet connection
The fixtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with Art-Net communication protocol.The control
software from PC (or lighting console) has to support Art-Net protocol.
Art-Net communication protocol is based on the TCP/IP.Its purpose is to allow transfer of large amounts of
DMX 512 data over a wide area using a standard network technology.
An IP address is the Internet protocol address.The IP uniquely identifies any node (fixture) on a network.
A Universe is a single DMX 512 frame of 512 channels.
The DigitalSpot 3000 DT is equipped with 8-pin RJ- 45 socket for Ethernet input.Use a network cable category
5 (with four “twisted” wire pairs) and standard RJ-45 plugs in order to connect the fixture to the network.
RJ-45 socket (front view):
1- TD+ 2- TD-
3- RX+
4- Not connected
RJ-45 plug (front view):
5- Not connected
6- RX7- Not connected
8- Not connected
Patch cables that connect fixtures to the hubs or LAN sockets are wired 1:1,that is,pins with the same numbers
are connected together:
1-1
2-2
3-3
4-4
5-5
6-6
7-7
8-8
If one fixture and the computer are to be interconnected,no hubs or other active components are needed.A
cross-cable has to be used:
1-3
2-6
3-1
4-8
5-7
6-2
7-5
8-4
Ethernet operation
Connect the Ethernet inputs of all fixtures in the fixture chain with the network.
Use the menu "Artnet Settings " to set an IP address , artnet universe and artnet subnet on all fixtures (see the
"Fixture address" menu).
The option “Activate Artnet mode" has to be confirmed in “Artnet Settings ” menu on all fixtures.
Example:
(DMX address=273)
IP address=002.168.002.004
Artnet Universe=1
Artnet Subnet=0
(DMX address=137)
IP address=002.168.002.003
Artnet Universe=1
Artnet Subnet=0
12
(DMX address=1)
IP address=002.168.002.002
Artnet Universe=1
Artnet Subnet=0
12. Folder organization
The library structure is reflected on the hard drive where all files for the library are stored. The whole library is
contained within a special folder called ‘Media’.
Inside the Media folder is a collection of folder (000,001...240) each named with a 3-digit number. Each folder
following this convention represents a library folder and the 3-digit number represents the name of the folder.
Because of this, you can’t have folders without the 3 digit number scheme. You can’t neither have two folders
with the same digits.
Inside each folder is a collection of media that the library folder holds. The media also should follow the 3-digit
conventions with the digits representing the visual number inside the library. Note that for visuals the digit starts
at 001_ since visual 0 is always considered as being empty.
Subfolders 000-020 are reserved for default gobos and videos (from factory) and their content cannot
be changed.
The images and video clips can be in one of the following formats: bmp, jpg, tga; .png, gif, pcx, pnm, xpm and
lbm for images and mpeg1, mpeg2 for videos.
The folder named "Update" contains subfolders with the update files.The subfolders are created automatically
during software updating and their names matching to date when software update has been executed.
The folder a "Log" serves for saving log files generate by the option "Generate Log File" in a menu "Special
Functions" of the control panel.Log file names are deducated from the date when the file has been logged
out.

17. In Frame and Out Frame parameters
You can select any segment of a video file for playback by assigning parameters for In Frame (start point)
and an Out Frame (end point) as pictured below.
The In Frame parameter corresponds to a 16-bit DMX value equal to a starting point for the playback segment
of the selected video file. The Out Frame parameter corresponds to a 16-bit DMX value equal to an end point
for the playback segment of the selected video file.
1.Assigning the In Frame DMX values
to 0 and Out Frame DMX values to 255
you will playback the entire video file.
2. You can create a segment anywhere
between the beginning and the end of
the video file.
3. It is possible to skip a segment in the
video file by setting the In Frame to a
point following the Out Frame value.
18. Video Control
The channel Gobo control defines how the current layer will be ‘composed’ with the previous layers and the
playback options in each mode .The Digital Spot 3000 supports the following options:
Copy mode: In this mode, the pixels of the layer are written on top of the previous layers.
Addition mode: In this mode, the pixel values of the current layer are added to the ones of the previous
layers. This means that “dark” pixels in the current layer image won’t alter the pixels that
are underneath while “light” pixel will saturate the image underneath.
Subtraction mode: In this mode, the pixel values of the current layer are subtracted from the pixel
value in the underlying layers. Dark pixel from the current layer won’t alter the pixel of
the layers underneath while light pixel will darken them.
Multiplication mode: In this mode, the pixels from the current layer will be multiplied by the pixels of
the underlying layers. For a pixel to appear bright in the output, the equivalent pixel of
the current layer and the underlying layer needs to be bright. If any of the layers has
a dark pixel, the result will be dark.
Minimum mode: This mode takes the pixel that is the darkest between the current layer and the layer
underneath
Maximum mode: This mode takes the pixel that is the brightest between the current layer and the layer
underneath.

20. Media content management
As you seen earlier in chapter "12. Folder organization", the DigitalSpot 3000 DT uses the root folder named
"Media". This folder contains subfolders (000,001...240) and inside each subfolder is the collection of media
that the subfolder holds. The files in subfolders are alphabetized and associated with DMX values. The first
part of the file name should be a 3-digit number followed by an underscore and a name e.g.:
001_sun..................... 1 DMX
002_snow_castle........2 DMX
:
255_apple................255 DMX
Subfolders 000-020 are reserved for default (factory) gobos/videos and cannot be changed.
User subfolders 21-240 and their contents can be mowed between fixtures and your local drive (PC) as well
as between fixtures. Which method you use depends on:
- how much content you want to move
- whether the fixture is currently connected to the Ethernet fixture link
There are several methods for moving user content files and folders between fixtures and a local drive and
between fixtures each other. You can use.
- an FTP client running on your PC
- a USB stick
- an option "Contents Synchronization" in a Remote control program.
25
20.1 Moving files between the fixture and a PC
1. FTP client running on your PC (light console).

22. Picture merging
The picture merging system allows to create a panoramic projection controlled from a light DMX console.
The resulting seamless image consists of the images of the individual projectors. It is possible to create an
image field up to 8x8 segments.
You can display the original DigitalSpot 3000 DT gobos/videos or custom gobos/videos from user folders.
22.1 Picture merging control channels
Global effect 1
A DMX value of 1 enables the picture merging procedure.
31
Global effect 1- Parameter 1
The DMX value from the range of 1- 63 selects desired image field configuration according to the following
tables:
32
33
Global effect 1- Parameter 2
The DMX values from the range of 0-63 are used to step segment by segment throw the image grid. The DMX
value of 0 corresponds to the upper left segment of the image grid. The stepping runs from the left to the right
and down from top (see example for field 8x3 segments bellow).
Global effect 1- Parameter 3
This channel enables to transform displaying of the segment edges-sharp or blended edges. You can also
display the blue and red auxiliary frame with the alignment marks for easier alignment of the adjacent segments:

At adjacent edges there is the blue edge that overlaps the red one and respectively :
Note. DMX values of both channels Global effect 1 and Global effect 1- Parameter 1 have to be set at the
same values on all fixtures used in the picture merging. 22.2 Picture merging example
Here is an example of the image field 3x2.
1. All fixtures that are a part of the picture merging have to have a different fixture ID (The fixture ID= the
last number of its IP address). The fixture´s IP address consists of four numbers separated by the dot e.g.
002.168.002.010.
2. Select the same gobo/video on the six DigitalSpots 3000 DT.
3. On all fixtures you are configuring set a DMX value=1 at the channel Global Effect 1.
On all fixtures you are configuring set a DMX value=6 at the channel Global Effect 1-Parameter 1.
4. Set a DMX value at the channel Global Effect 1- Parameter 3 between 151-160 to define a sharp edges
of segments for a fine alignment.
5. On each individual fixture set a DMX value between 0-5 at Global Effect 1 - Parameter 2 to select the segment that the fixture will project.
6. Use pan/tilt/zoom and keystone channels to align the projections of individual fixtures in such a way that
there is some overlap between the separate portions of the image. This overlap is necessary for the picture
merging adjustment.
7. Set a DMX value at Global Effect 1- Parameter 3 between 131-141 to display the segment with sharp
34
edges for fine adjustment by means the fine pan/tilt and keystones channels.
To execute the picture merging ,run the same gobo/video on all six fixtures and set the channels Global Effect
1- Parameter 3 to a DMX value of 0-130.
Note: In order to assure a correct playback of videos sequences , all fixtures in the picture merging system
should be synchronized to the one (master) fixture - see the chapter bellow.
23. Effect video synchronization
The synchronization option can be set separately for each gobo layer (channels Synchronization to ID). The
fixture synchronization acts with the fixture ID which is defined as the last number of fixture´s IP address. This
fixture ID is shown on the fixture´s display. The fixtures are synchronized to the one fixture - named a master
fixture.
The fixtures may be controlled by the DMX but the fixture synchronization runs over ethernet network - it means
that all fixtures that are to be synchronized have to be connected to the ethernet.
Each DMX value of the synchronizing channel responds to the fixture ID of a certain fixture.
You have to set the DMX value (ID) of the master fixture on all fixtures that are to be synchronized. If the DMX
value= fixture ID, in this case the fixture is set as a master.
Example: 4 DigitalSpots 3000 DT which are synchronized through the gobo layer 1 to the fixture 3 :
IP address
Fixture ID Synchronization to ID (Channel 80)
Fixture 1
002.168.002.010
10
DMX=20
Fixture 2
002.168.002.015
15
DMX=20
Fixture 3
002.168.002.020
20
DMX=20
Master fixture
Fixture 4
002.168.002.021 21
DMX=20
Note: For a synchronous video projection on the layer 1, the channels InFrame High, In Frame Low, Out Frame
High, Out frame Low, Gobo control, Playback Speed have to be set at the same values on all fixtures. The
same rule proceeds for the gobo layer 2 and 3.
35
24. Projection onto angular, cylindric or spheric surfaces
If a projection on curved surface is required a correction of the shape distortions is necessary. The DigitalSpot
3000 DT supports projection onto angular screens, cylinders and spheres.
24.1 Curved surface support channels
Global effect 2
This channel enables you to select desired shape of the surface:
:
To simplify a correction process, there is a gobo with a net pattern (DMX value = 2) in a factory folder
No. 20 (DMX value= 20) on a Gobo folder selection channel each gobo layer.
Global effect 2- parameter 1
This parameter enables to adjust the total length of the image edge. A value of 0 means no adjustment, a value
of 255 means maximum correction.
Note. If a corner projection is selected on a Global effect 1 (values of 1-4), the red guiding line will appear in
the image (the gobo with the net pattern has to be projected).
Guiding line
36
Global effect 2- parameter 2
This parameter enables to adjust the horizontal length of the edge. A DMX Value of 128 = no adjustment, values
below 128 move the edge to the left, values above 128 move the edge to the right.
Global effect 2- parameter 3
This parameter enables to adjust the vertical length of the edge. A DMX Value of 128 = no adjustment, values
below 128 move the edge downwards, values above 128 move the edge upwards.
These global effect 2 parameters 1-3 have to be used in combination with the KeyStone and KeyStone X-ratio
(Y-ratio) parameters to adjust desired shape of image.
Corner projection
Example:
1. Project a gobo with a net pattern on the wall (the channel Gobo Folder selection ,is set at a value of 20 ,the
channel Gobo selection at a value of 2).
2. Set the channel Global Effect 2 to a Horizontal inside corner mapping (DMX value=3)
3. Use the channel Global Effect 2 -Parameter 1 to adjust the length of the image edge.
4. Use the channels Global Effect 2 -Parameter 2, and Global Effect 2 -Parameter 3 and Keystone channels
to correct image on the wall.
5. Use the KeyStone Y-ratio channel for the final correction of the image.
Note:
If a projection of rectangle (square) on a circle (sphere) is selected on the channel Global Effect 2 (DMX value
of 10 or 11), the meaning of the Keystone parameters in a DMX chart will be changed as follows:

25. Video processing on gobo layers from a streaming video server
A streaming video is a video that is continuously sent by one device (e.g. PC) and received by another device
(DigitalSpot 3000 DT) over an ethernet network.
The Streaming video software stated on the pictures below is available at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/.
Download VLC media player from this web page and install it on your streaming source (PC, notebook..).
Here are important installation points how to prepare a video processing on gobo layers from a remote streaming video source in the fixture.
Streaming source (here is an example for PC running Windows XP)
1. Download the VLC media player to the PC (Windows self-extracting package 0.8.6f),
2. Set PC network card for Art-Net network:
- Menu path: "Start" --> "Control Panel" --> "Network Connection" --> "Connection"
- Click on the "Properties" button and the following window will open.
- Click on the item "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and the Internet Protocol Properties window
will open. Set IP address to something like 2.X.X.X with an IP mask of 255.0.0.0
39
3. Install a VLC media player
- click on a VLC media player self-extracting package located on the hard disk and follow the on-screen
instructions. After installing it, run this VLC media player. In a horizontal menu "File" click on "Open" and the
following window will open.
Type the name of video file in the "Open" field, check the "Stream/Save" option and click the "Settings" button.
The "Stream output" window will open:
Check the "HTTP" option in a Outputs column, type an IP address of the PC in the "Address" field and a figure
port in the "port" field.
Note: If you want to run more videos on this PC, you have to run the VLC media player for each video and every
media player has to have a different figure of the port but the IP address will be the same.
Select the MPGTS or MPEGPS option in the "Encapsulation method" row. Check the "Video codec" option and
select mp2v. In the field "Bitrate kb/s" set value of 1024 or higher.
The Bitrate is the number of kbits that are conveyed or processed per second. The higher is the number, the
higher is the quality of the projected image. For streaming of desktop we recommend the bitrate of 8192.
Click the "OK" button and confirm the "Open" window.
The VLC media player is now ready for playing up the video sequences.
40
PC Desktop streaming
The desktop streaming enables you to sent your presentation directly to the DigitalSpot 3000 DT via an ethernet
network. You do not need extra cables for connecting video inputs of the DigitalSpot 3000 DT with your PC.
A different setting of VLC media player for streaming of the PC desktop is required. Type the following line in
the "Customize" field of the Open window:
screen:// screen-fps=10 :screen-caching=100
Space
The Stream output window has the same setting like for video streaming except the field "Bitrate (kb/s)" which
should be set at the value of 8192.
Important: The Playback speed channel at the relevant gobo layer should be set at a DMX value of 150200.
41
Control PC (light console)
Type the IP address of the DigitalSpot 3000 DT which is to project data from a remote streaming video source
in your WWW browser to run the Remote Control program.
Select the option "Remote Content" and the following window will open:
Type in the "source Address" field the IP address and the port number of the streaming source (in our case
it is a PC) in this format: http://2.x.x.x:port number e.g. http://2.1.1.3:1234 and save it by clicking the "Update"
button.
This way defined streaming source is assigned to a DMX value of 1 at the channel Gobo selection.
You can define another videos from the same streaming source - the IP addresses will be the same for all
videos only the port numbers have to be different.
After specifying all streaming sources close the "Remote Content" window.
To run a video processing on the fixture
On The DigitalSpot 3000 DT which is to project video data from a streaming video source, set the channel Gobo
folder selection at value of 252 and on the following channel "Gobo selection" set a DMX value which responds
to the streaming video source defined in the "Remote Content" window. The streaming video processing starts
running with a delay of cca 10 seconds.

28.6 Cleaning
Turn the power off and disconnect the fixture from the mains. before starting cleaning procedure.
It is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean and that dust, dirt and smoke-fluid residues must not build
up on or within the fixture. Otherwise, the fixture‘s light-output will be significantly reduced. Regular cleaning will
not only ensure the maximum light-output, but will also allow the fixture to function reliably throughout its life.
A soft lint-free cloth moistened with any good glass cleaning fluid is recommended, under no circumstances
should alcohol or solvents be used!
DANGER !
Disconnect from the mains before starting any
cleaning and maintenance work
The front covering glasses will require weekly cleaning as smoke-fluid tends to building up residues, reducing
the light output very quickly.
The cooling fans should be cleaned monthly.
49
The interior of the fixture should be cleaned at least annually using a vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet.
More complicated maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers.
Cleaning a projection lens of the projector.
Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cleaning cloth. Avoid using an excessive amount of
cleaner. Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals might scratch a surface. Lightly wipe a cleaning
cloth over projection lens.
