I put 750w lamps in the Source 4s that light my scrollers, what's the smartest way to keep these gel rolls from burning through?
Just to be clear, he means put the heat shield in the inner colorframe runners, closest to the lens(es) (the color changer goes in the outer runners). An ERS's "accessory slot" is just beyond the template/gobo slot and is used for drop-in iris or gobo rotator/changer. I've heard tell (urban legend?) of some using this slot to house dichroic color media as it allows the user to purchase smaller (and thus less expensive) dichroic color filters.
- add heat shield the accessory slot between the fixture and the scroller
The DCC (Dark Color Compensator) trick, a feature (some might say only good feature) of the Compulite Animator of the early 1990s. I've never had scrollers in a long-enough running show to try it. Might be more trouble than it's worth, having to keep track of an effect running, ideally on a separate cue list.

rochem said:I usually write an "On 30s/Off 30s" effect and apply it to the hazer, then put that effect on a submaster. As we go through the show, if there's a certain time when the LD wants the haze off or something, I just link a macro from the previous cue to turn the Haze sub to 0%, which stops the haze indefinitely. When we want haze back, I just link a second macro to bring the haze sub back to FL.
You are correct, John. All of our scrollers have always come with a piece of gel shield attached. However, it isn't as much of a heat shield as it is an IR/UV filter. Hence, we call it gel shield and not heat shield. It is a heavy piece of plastic material with a metallic film on it. It is directional. To test the direction it should be facing (if there isn't a "This side towards light" label, use an ohm meter to check for continuity. The side that has continuity faces the light! I know, cool! Right?Derek
I'm confused. The smart color pros I got from Indiana have what I believe is a heat shield built in to the scroller, am I wrong, are there other scrollers sold in Indiana or what?
