I have never used the
Colortran but I think the optics should be close to a
360Q, which I have used. The projected
image was o.k. It was
clear, but the contrast wasn't as good (between projection and surface) as you would get from a higher performance
instrument. Still acceptable though. The really intricate ones tend to not look as good as simple things like breakups. I doubt you will need a special
adapter as long as you have the correct
gobo holder. Again, I think an
Altman 360Q holder would work but I'm really not sure. Since the
Colortran's have aluminum reflectors, the
gate area really gets hot, so don't be surprised if your gobos get some pretty bad warps, or even burn-throughs by the end of their run. Make sure your lamp is centered and aligned correctly too, this will
effect the amount of heat in the beam and the amount of
halation on the projection.
