Remote Device Management
Remote Device Management, or RDM, is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate
bi-directionally along existing DMX cabling. Check with the manufacturer or the DMX controller’s User
Manual, as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The Ovation Rêve E-3 supports RDM protocol that
allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
Master/Slave Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows an Ovation Rêve E-3 (the master) to control one or more Ovation Rêve E-3
products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. Once Ovation Rêve E-3 becomes the master when running
an auto or custom program, or in Static mode.
Each slave’s control panel must be configured to operate in Slave mode. During Master/Slave operation,
the slaves will operate in unison with the master.

Soft focus filter
Filter holder (x4)
Soft Focus Filter
The version 2 of the Ovation Rêve E-3 comes with the soft focus filter already pre-installed in the shutter
barrel, in front of the shutter blades and is being held by four filter holders.
•To remove the soft focus filter, gently squeeze and slide the filter out from under the four filter holders.
•To replace the soft focus filter into the fixture, gently squeeze the filter and carefully slide it back
under the filter holders. Make sure to follow the orientation direction printed on the filter.
To keep the soft focus filter in good condition:
•Ensure that no fingerprints are left on the filter, as this may cause the filter to heat unevenly and
eventually warp.
•When inserting shutter blades into the light path, note that the heat is reflected back at the filter. The
deeper the blades are inserted, and the longer the fixture runs, the more heat gets reflected on to
the filter, causing it to warp and potentially adhere to the shutter blades.
•If there is a protective film on the soft focus filter, it must be removed before use.
•The standard filter frame must be used together with the fixture.
The lifespan and effectiveness of the Soft Focus Filter accessory included with this
product will be negatively impacted by excessive reflected heat caused by the extended
use of gobos, shutters, irises, and other beam shaping accessories. The filter is not
covered by the limited warranty. Replacements are available for purchase.

To adjust the Red Shift function, do the following:
1.Go to the Red Shift main level.
2.Select On or Off.
Master/Slave
The Master/Slave mode allows a group of Ovation Rêve E-3 products (the slaves) to simultaneously
duplicate the output of another Ovation Rêve E-3 (the master) without a DMX controller.
To set each of the slaves:
1.Go to the Master/Slave main level
2.Select Slave.
To set the master:
1.Go to the Master/Slave main level
2.Select Master.
3.Select a static setting.
•The master is the one that runs a program whether in Auto or Static mode.
•Do not connect a DMX controller to the products configured for Master/Slave
operation. The DMX controller may interfere with signals from the master.
•The master should be the first product in the daisy chain.

Dimmer Curve
To set the dimmer curve, follow the instructions below:
1.Go to the Dimmer Curve main level.
2.Select the desired option (SCurve, Linear, Square, or Inverse Square).
Dimmer Profiles
This setting determines how fast the output of the Ovation Rêve E-3 changes when the output value is
modified. It provides four different options to simulate the dimming curve of an incandescent lighting product.
To select a specific dimmer profile, do the following:
1.Go to the Dimmer Mode main level.
2.Select a dimmer curve (Off, Dimmer 1, Dimmer 2, or Dimmer 3).
Off: The output is proportional (linear) to the dimmer channel value.
Dimmer 1-3: The output follows the dimmer value based on the corresponding dimmer curve, Dimmer 1 being the fastest.
For optimum control of the 16-bit dimming channels in the 12Ch, 14Ch2, and 18Ch
personalities, ensure that the dimming curves in Dimmer Mode are set to Off.
Color Calibration
This setting determines the maximum output values for each color, which affects the appearance of a full
output white.
1.Go to the Color Calibration main level.
2.Select Off (deactivates color calibration), User Calibration, or Factory Calibration (the product
will use a default white setting).
3.For User Calibration mode, select the color value to edit (Red, Green, Blue, Amber, or Mint).
4.Set the maximum value for the selected color (125–255).
5.Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the product outputs as desired.
LED Frequency
This option changes the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) frequency of the LEDs on the Ovation Rêve E-3.
To do so, follow the instructions below:
1.Go to the LED Frequency main level.
2.Select PWM Frequency (600Hz, 1200Hz, 2000Hz, 4000Hz, 6000Hz, or 25Khz).
Fan Mode
This setting determines how the fan speed on the Ovation Rêve E-3 is set.
1.Go to the Fan Mode main level
2.Select Auto (fan speed will increase or decrease based on product temperature), Off (fan will
stay off. Product output will decrease based on product temperature), Silent (fan will maintain a
constant silent speed), or On (fan speed will always be at maximum).
NOTICE: When operating in Fan Mode: Off, the output of the fixture will be reduced
and will not reach the same levels as when using other fan modes.
WARNING: When operating in Fan Mode: Off, the fixture will become hotter to the
touch than when using other fan modes. Use proper protective equipment to prevent
burns. Keep a safe distance from flammable objects.
Back Light
This setting allows for selection of the amount of time the backlight on the Ovation Rêve E-3’s display
stays on after the last button is pressed on the control panel.
1.Go to the Back Light main level.
2.Select 10S (10 seconds), 30S (30 seconds), 2Min (2 minutes), or Always On (remains on).
System Information
This option displays the total number of hours the product has run, the installed software version, and the
product’s UID.
1.Go to the Information main level.
2.Select Fixture Hours, LED Hours, Version , or UID.

Virtual Color Wheel
The Ovation Rêve E-3 includes a feature called the Virtual Color Wheel (VCW). This feature is available as a
standalone control mode for manual use and as a control channel in select DMX personalities. More than 30
premixed colors, custom blended by Chauvet engineers, are available to call up for easier programming.
The DMX values used to mix these colors are provided below. The overall intensity of the Ovation fixture can
be adjusted to more closely replicate familiar industry-standard colors. A chart is available at
www.chauvetprofessional.com
for comparison purposes only and is not an assertion that Chauvet’s premixed colors match any of the gel
colors listed.
Note: The colors above are simulated renditions of the color output produced
compared with other similar incandescent products. Chauvet makes no guarantee of
the color output accuracy.
