Rosco DMX Iris
Rosco DMX Iris
Having complete control over the beam spread of your leko just got easier. The new Rosco DMX Iris is quiet, dependable, affordable, and a perfect complement to the I-Cue Intelligent Mirror. This 24 leaf motorized iris unit can be used with your ETC Source Four, Selecon Pacific or most other modern lekos. Unlike other iris units that have only 18 or fewer leaves in the aperture, the Rosco DMX Iris creates an even edged, perfectly round aperture all the way down to its smallest diameter. Using 1 channel of DMX512, the DMX Iris's movement is smooth even along very slow cross fades. A microprocessor controlled stepper motor connects to the mechanical arm of the iris unit, replacing the unreliable noisy chain drive system found in other products. A manual knob lets you use the DMX Iris without DMX control just by dialing in the aperture size you want, just as you would a conventional iris unit. The Rosco DMX Iris requires a non-dim circuit and is auto-sensing from 100-240 volts for use anywhere in the world. No costly external PSU is needed.

The Rosco DMX Iris is equipped with an internal, auto-sensing power supply. It will automatically adjust and accept power input from 100 volts to 240 volts at a frequency range of 50 - 60 hz. If you are using the DMX Iris with DMX control, you will need to connect a 5-pin DMX cable to the unit. It is equipped with (2) DMX ports, input and out (pass-through). (Figure 1) The DMX Iris may require an external DMX terminator if used at the end of your DMX chain. The green LED indicator light will illuminate when a DMX Signal is present. The DMX Iris uses one channel of DMX. Use the three rotary pots to set the desired DMX address. The DMX Iris has been designed to fit into most modern ellipsoidal luminaires. With its thin body design and customized toolings, the list of compatible fixtures includes ETC Source Four, ETC Source Four Zoom, Selecon Pacific, Altman Shakespeare, Strand SL, Leviton Leo and many others. Insert the DMX Iris into the iris slot of your luminaire with the motor box extending towards the front, the lens end, of the light. It may be necessary to angle the yoke of the luminaire back to allow access into the accessory iris slot. Note that on certain luminaires, the sliding cover of the iris slot may have to be removed to allow the DMX Iris to fit properly. Caution: Make sure to route the power cord and DMX cables to avoid the extremely hot back end of the luminaire. Failing to do so could result in melting cords, signal failure or fire!
