ColorCommand Fixture

ColorCommand is a highly-versatile color mixing washlight
that uses a simple, compact incandescent lamp and an
innovative patented dichroic color mixing system. Because
ColorCommand colors the whole beam simultaneously, it
ensures a smooth, even field and allows you complete
freedom when color mixing and adjusting beam size.
ColorCommand produces a huge range of colors, from
subtle pastels to deep saturates. ColorCommand can snap
between one color and another in less than 1/3 second, or
make slow, controlled fades.

ColorCommand uses dichroic borosilicate glass, which will not fade or change color,
so the color you create during rehearsals is the same color you will see a week,
month, or year later. There are no gel scrolls to burn out or replace, and
ColorCommand can be used anywhere you would currently use a PAR can, Fresnel,
or PC fixture. See Appendix B for ColorCommand installation and maintenance.

ColorCommand Features

• Philips Halogen Biplanar 750W or 800W lamp with a color temperature of 3200K
matching other incandescent fixtures.

• Intregal, fully variable beam angle adjustable from 8

° - 13°

•18

° - 32° field angle

• 270

° tilt

• 1 meter minimum focus distance

• Lamp relay to automatically shut off the lamp if the power is disconnected or the
cable is removed

• Compact and lightweight (similar in size to a PAR can)

• Fat output beam (8 inches (200 mm) in diameter)

• Smooth color mixing (including pastel and saturated colors)

• Fully dichroic colors that never fade

• Full control over color mixing from smooth, stepless movement (allowing slow,
imperceptible color fades) to rapid snap color changes

• Quiet performance even during snap color changes

• Even, soft-edged wash with good beam distribution for easy blending

• Live color fading from one color to another at any speed

• Very little light spill

• Fits accessories such as barn doors, top hats, and snoots

• Operates on 4 DMX channels: Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, and Beam Angle Adjust

ColorMerge Module

The ColorMerge module is an innovative dichroic color mixing
accessory for the ETC Source Four

™

ellipsoidal fixture.
ColorMerge gives you the freedom to mix any color as well as
perform live fades from one color to another smoothly, silently,
and cleanly.

ColorMerge attaches between the rear housing assembly and the
front barrel assembly of the Source Four, and does not interfere
with the gate area. You can still use patterns, irises, gobo
changers, and all the usual accessories with your Source Four

™

fixture. Like all Dichroic Theatre Series products, ColorMerge
uses dichroic borosilicate glass which will not fade or change
color. So, the color you create during rehearsals is the same color
you will see a week, month, or year later. And, there are no gel
scrolls to burn out or replace. See Appendix C for more
information on Installing and Maintaining ColorMerge modules.

ColorMerge Features

• Easy Installation (locks onto existing bayonet lens mount with no modifications)

• High-efficiency dichroics (less light loss with dichroic color than with a gel)

• No interference with Source Four optics (use with any lens type)

• Smooth color mixing (including pastel and saturated colors)

• Fully dichroic colors that never fade

• Full control over color mixing from smooth, stepless movement (allowing slow,
imperceptible color fades) to rapid color changes

• Silent operation (no fans)

• Live color fading from one color to another at any speed with no strange,
intermediate colors

• No interference with Source Four’s gobos, irises, or gobo rotators

• Operates on 3 DMX channels: Yellow, Magenta, and Cyan
