Does anyone know of . . .

[ewards71]

A CMY capable scanner or moving mirror . . . . I know there are some nice moving head CMY units . . . just curious . . .


Thanx for the info

High end CyberLights, Clay Paky Golden HPE's, I'm sure there are more from the big mfg's.

There aren't too many CMY moving mirror fixtures out there that I've seen. The High End Systems Cyberlight is the only one that comes to my mind, which Ronald already said. I would think anywhere one could get a Cyberlight they could put a moving head fixture, or maybe even two, in that space. Perhaps High End's Trackspot2 had CMY, I'm not entirely sure, but it may have had it. That was discontinued though. There aren't too many moving mirror CMY fixtures, probably because moving mirrors aren't typically used for wash, and CMY is a feature more common on wash style lights.

Pretty sure one version of the Martin 1220 had it as well. My guess is that you're looking at an older fixture, and what was top of the line at the time. Not too many people even make a moving mirrors any longer. Maybe Elation still makes one. Also, try Robe, Coemar, and Clay Paky.

What about using LED, or color mixing products like HES Color Pro? You don't get the movement, but with the Color pro you do have color mixing.

Gonna use along with moving head wash units and standard moving heads . . . the main purpose for the CMY mirror units will be for narrow beam and super fast motion . . . and for only a few moments . . . to be used for live gigs in small to medium sized venues . . . so I may be looking at too much cost for a few "special effects" during the show . . . The Cyberlight from Martin is sweet but costly ! Thanx for the info . . . this forum gives me tons of ideas and my wife nightmares from all those ideas I get

Martin 1220 did have CMY, but the light sucks.

Martin PAL1200, HES Cyberlight, ClayPaky Stage Scan

As for cost, the Stage Scan may be the cheapest one, and maybe the PAL if you find one around. They're unmanly huge and heavy. Not to mention slow, and since no-one will use them you may get them at a low cost.

Moving mirrors kinda died lately, they'll come back soon.

PS: Cyberlight is made by High End Systems (aka HES), not Martin

[Inaki2]

Also...if you only want specal effects and quick changes, why the CMY?

[ewards71]

Ooops . . . High End . . . not Martin . . . I was sleepy I was just curious if there were any out there available for a decent price . . . CMY was just kind of a luxury . . . I don't like the "flicker" when the color wheel changes . . . no biggie . . . I guess overall I was just daydreaming . . . still am :wink:

Perhaps a few HES Color Pro fixtures would do the job for you. While they aren't moving lights they have CMY color mixing and can change colors pretty quick. In terms of optics they put out more light than I've seen out of a 250 wat lamp than I've seen from anything else. In numbers I would imagine they could make some nice effects. Just an idea out.

When a fixed CMY fixture is called for here's another alternative.
