The Golden Scan 3's potential for chromatic
and graphic modulation of the light beam really is unlimited, stimulating
the creativity of lighting designers and taking them on to new horizons.
The Golden Scan 3 produces beams in a full 24 different colours, obtained
using a primary colour disk and two filters which alter the basic
range.
The disk has an empty position for white light and seven
high-quality, high-luminosity dichroic filters which produce very pure
colours.
Clay Paky devotes special attention to the selection of its dichroic
filters, with a narrow tolerance range to ensure the colours obtained by
different luminaires are perfectly consistent. The Golden Scan 3 can
produce bi-colour beams as well as single colour beams.

What's more the colour disk can be
rotated at any speed, producing interesting colour-changing effects and a
spectacular rainbow effect at higher speeds.
• The Golden Scan 3 offers
an astonishing, innovative and sophisticated selection of graphic images,
thanks to its exclusive system of indexed-position rotating gobos. The
light beam is shaped by four gobos, each of which can be stationary or
spin in both directions. The speed of rotation can be freely set by the
operator from a wide range of values. Elaborate control software enables
the position of each gobo within a total angle of 540° rotation to be
stored in the memory, thanks to which a pattern can be projected for
example, in a fixed horizontal position, while the mirror passes through
its full range of movement. All the gobos are interchangeable and have a
diameter of 66 mm (standard M-size). Changing a gobo is a fairly easy
operation which does not need any special technical skills or tools. Ten
different additional gobos are supplied with every Golden Scan, in
addition to the four standard gobos already mounted on the gobo disk.
Since the gobos have a standard size, they appear in the catalogues of
many well-known suppliers worldwide, making the range of patterns
available practically unlimited. Customised gobos, which can be made
quickly at a reasonable cost, can also be used.

The graphic projection potential of the Golden
Scan 3 is extended by a built-in multiplying prism which can be inserted
whenever required, forming four identical images of any basic image
projected. Combining the gobos and prism thus produces 8 different
patterns, while adding the rotation effect brings infinite possibilities
for creating spectacular effects.
The Golden Scan 3 features an iris
which enables the diameter of the light beam to be varied while leaving
its intensity unchanged. The iris has a continual, gradual movement with a
speed that can be controlled as desired within a wide range of
values.
The light beam can also be modulated using a strobe effect
which may be set to from 1 to 7 flashes per second as desired. The strobe
effect is accentuated by an exclusive new device which stops the light
beam using two stopper blades, rather than one, that move toward the
centre simultaneously, completely dosing (and not cutting) the beam with a
black-out time at any speed of only 0.070 seconds (as opposed to the
previous value of 0.120 sec.)
