Tools Of The Trade: Elation Professional’s Design 1400 Series DMX-512

The Design 1400 Series DMX-512 from Elation Professional is a new range of moving heads that features built-in wireless DMX technology from Wireless Solution Sweden AB.

The units can receive DMX signals wirelessly from up to 3,000' sent via the Elation EWDMXT transmitter or Wireless Solution transmitters. Both fixtures use a Philips MSR 1200 FastFit lamp.

The Design Wash 1400 is a 17-channel color wash luminaire that features CMY+C color mixing, plus two color wheels, each featuring four dichroic filters plus open. It has a linear beam angle of 10° to 40°.

The Design Spot 1400E is a 25-channel unit that includes a CMY color mixing system with variable CTO color correction, plus interchangeable color filters, six dichroic color filters, CTB + white and split colors, and a continuous color scrolling rainbow effect. It also includes rotating gobo wheels, multicolor dichroic gobos, a rotating animation wheel, three rotating prisms (three-facet, five-facet, and infinity-facet), an iris with pulse effect, 12° to 32° linear zoom, a frost filter, a variable speed strobe effect, and 0 to 100% dimming. A DMX record mode allows users to record four different shows directly from a DMX console for playback on each unit. The DMX profile attributes can be adjusted manually to emulate other fixtures.
