Welcome to Cineo HS2 Wave
Cineo Lighting continues to pioneer Remote
Phosphor technology for image capture with
HS2, the third-generation of the revolutionary
HS fixture currently in use on motion picture
sets and in broadcast studios worldwide. All
HS2 components are 100% cross-compatible
with all legacy HS fixtures, accessories,
phosphor panels, and cabling.
The HS2 lamphead is both lightweight and
rugged, and includes industry-standard 80/20
mounting slots on both the sides and back
of the fixture for attaching the power supply
and yokes. Two distinct mixing chambers
allow custom CCT mixing via DMX. A hinged
top access panel allows for easy, one-handed
phosphor panel and accessory changes. The
dimensions and output are identical to all
legacy HS fixtures.
The new RDM450 Wave power supply is
smaller and lighter weight than previous HSseries power supplies and features Cineo’s
new advanced control panel. The Wave
power supply comes equipped with a Lumen
Radio™ wireless DMX transceiver that works
in conjunction with the unit’s wired DMX
interfaces to provide dimming and RDM
programming of the fixture. The Wave power
supply is attached directly to the HS2 head
for one-piece operation or can be operated
remotely up to 300 feet from the fixture.
The HS2 Wave represents Cineo Lighting’s
commitment to constant innovation of
illumination technology. This third-generation
tool builds upon Cineo’s years of experience
in Remote Phosphor Technology while
continuing to provide the unexcelled
brightness, extremely accurate color quality,
power efficiency, and flexibility that hundreds
of cinematographers, gaffers, and lighting
designers rely on daily.

Fixture Set Up
Read these safety instructions carefully to ensure fixture and accessories are used safely.
Ensure the 28mm Spigot is correctly mounted onto the yoke before rigging.
Always use secondary safety cables of suitable length when hanging Cineo HS2 lampheads or
power supplies.
The HS2 lamphead weighs 13 lbs. (6 kg) excluding accessories and the power supply weighs
12 lbs. (5.5 kg). The combined weight should be considered when choosing a suitable safety
cable.
Safety cables must securely be attached to the yoke slots on HS2 lamphead or the top metal
handle of the power supply and be as short as possible to reduce travel distance if primary
hanging accessory fails.
Ensure that the yoke lock is correctly tightened when manipulating HS2 in the required
orientation for safety purposes.
Ensure the Cineo HS2 lamphead and power supply are operated within an ambient
temperature range of -20 to +50°C (-4 to 122°F).

System Components, Connections and Controls
Cineo HS2 Lamphead
The HS2 lamphead is controlled by an external power supply. The lamphead includes a cablemounted, keyed multi-pin connector for connection to the power supply. To reduce strain on
the cable connector, a cable retainer is provided
The HS2 lamphead is completely cross-compatible with all other Cineo HS-series power supplies, and can be used interchangeably with all HS power supply models.
Two panel removal thumbscrews located on the top of the lamphead will release the panel
access door for removal of the remote phosphor panels. The panel door has a safety “kill
switch” that will turn the light off when the door is opened. For proper operation ensure that
the door is securely fastened but not over tightened.
Please refer to the Cineo catalog for current lamphead mounting options and light control.
