GOLDEN SCAN 3 - ELECTRONICS |
| The many effects and features offered by the
Golden Scan 3 all have three common denominators: precision, speed and
flexibility. This not only demands refined mechanical technology but a
highly sophisticated internal electronic system for controlling the
various different functions as well. The design of the Golden Scan 3 also
incorporates a simple and immediately accessible user interface based on
universal technical standards.

The Golden Scan 3's electronics, the best available on the market, have been developed and manufactured by Pulsar Light of Cambridge, the English specialists in lighting effect and intelligent luminaire control systems. |
| The control electronics for the Golden Scan 3,
form an essential component in the perfect performance of the luminaire.
All the many different functions of the Golden Scan 3 can be controlled
directly using just six control channels, some of which are
multi-functional. The channel layout is the same as that used on other Clay Paky luminaires, allowing mixed systems to be used without complicating the control and programming procedures. There is no limit on the operator's choice of control system for the Golden Scan 3 set. The luminaire in fact accepts all world-standard communication protocols: • analogue from zero to 10 volts • digital DMX 512 (both original and DMX 512/1990 versions) • digital RS 232/423 with PMX (Pulsar MultipleX) standard Control of the Golden Scan 3 is not, therefore, limited by a customised protocol. All the processing necessary for the luminaire to operate perfectly is carried out entirely by the two microprocessors inside it, making it independent from the contro system. This versatility makes it possible to use any control desk or computer, providing the logic has a memory and processing capacity sufficient to cope with the luminaire's many different functions. |
