Product Overview
The SHOWGUN® fixture from High End Systems is a very powerful 100,000+ lumen automated
light that can project images, change and mix dichroic colors, and switch from hard-edge to
soft-edge all within a compact system. SHOWGUN provides high-energy focused or soft edge
washes and gobo projection with a 10 inch (250 mm) output beam, and an innovative LED
Tracking System.
A new patent pending optical design incorporates a proprietary, optically accurate polymer
microfresnel lens allowing SHOWGUN fixtures to produce a true focused hard-edge or a softedge combination, without the need for two separate fixture types. The true focused hard-edge
allows SHOWGUN to project High End Syst ems Lithopattern images, wh ile the soft -edge abilitie s
exceed industry standards. Soft edge/hard edge "enabling" for SHOWGUN fixtures is easily
accomplished from any lighting console.
The SHOWGUN LED Tr acking System is a homogeneously mixed RGB LED circular ar ray that yo u
can match to the color of the main output beam, or use to project a complementary color by
mixing RGB values. Producing over 5000 lumens of output, the LED Tracking System works in
tandem with the SHOWGUN fixture's other features.
The SHOWGUN fixture’s main output uses a 2000 watt short arc metal halide lamp with a
FastFit™ socket design that allows for a more compact reflector combination.
SHOWGUN® Features

Linking SHOWGUN Fixtures
SHOWGUN® fixtures operate on standard DMX512 link controlled by a DMX console. The
number of fixtures on a link will be determined by the combined number of channels required
by all the fixtures. A SHOWGUN fixture requires 30 channels on a standard DMX512 link.
Attach the fixture to the link using data-grade cable and 5-pin XLR cable connectors.
Cable Connectors
The SHOWGUN fixture accepts 5-pin XLR cable connectors. Cabling must have a male XLR
connector on one end of the cable and a female XLR connector on the other end.
Pin one is the common (cable shield), pin two is the data complement (negative), pin three is
the data true (positive). Pins four and fiv e are not used, but they allow a secondary data link to
pass through the fixture.

Determining DMX Start Channel Assignment
There are 512 available channels on each DMX link divided among all the devices in a particular
link. A fixture must have a unique Start channel number in order to respond independently to
controller commands.
T o determine each fixture’s DMX start channel in a link, identify the channel range of every fixture
on the link. Channel range is the number of consecutive channels a fixture requires. Each
SHOWGUN fixture requires a block of 30 consecutive channels on a 512- Channel DMX link. The
Start channel is the first number of a fixture’s channel range.

When setting the Start channel on a fixture, remember:
• A fixture’s physical location on the link does not have to coincide with the order of channel
range assignments in the link. See Row 2 in the above table.
• The fixture’s channel range must not overlap any other device’s channel range on the link.
When two devices on the same DMX link have overlapping channel ranges, one or both
devices will be disabled or behave erratically. The single exception would be if two or more
fixtures need to respond to controller commands in exactly the same way. In that case, those
fixtures must be the same type (for example two SHOWGUN fixtures) and must share the
entire channel range.

Fixture Programming
DMX Programming Overview
A parameter is a fixture attribute that can be controlled to modify the light beam in terms of
color, beam quality and pattern, intensity , or focus (position). DMX programming assigns a DMX
value to each of the fixture’s parameters. A look (sometimes referred to a scene or a cue) is one
combination of parameter settings. These looks are the building blocks for show creation.
Full Speed verses MSpeed Control
Some parameters can be set to operate at full speed or MSpeed (motor speed). Full speed
operations are completed in the shortest length of time after the motor starts moving. With
MSpeed control, change occurs smoothly over the entire MSpeed t ime value selected. For
example, if you select an MSpeed time of 30 seconds, the motor will gradually change position
until it reaches its new destination at the end of 30 seconds.
DMX Programming Options
Using a DMX controller, you can program an unlimited number of looks and retain direct control
over the SHOWGUN
®
fixture at all times.
Programming with a DMX Console
The Wholehog®, the Hog® iPC, and the Road Hog lighting consoles; and Hog® 3PC software are
available from High End Systems to control SHOWGUN
Accessories on page 3). For information on whether your DMX controller supports SHOWGUN
fixtures, contact the controller’s vendor. For information on operating your fixture with a

Pan and Tilt
The Pan and Tilt parameters control the SHOWGUN fixture’s 420° pan range and 216° tilt range.
Pan and Tilt functions each utilize two channels to provide 16 bit adjustment to a fraction of a
degree.
Pan and Tilt motion for SHOWGUN fixtures can be controlled with MSpeed values, (see MSpeed
(Motor Speed) on page 34). If you choose to use MSpeed for gobo changes without affecting Pan
and Tilt parameters, set Pan/Tilt MSpeed OFF in the Control parameter.
Note: Optical encoders for pan and tilt correct the fixture’s position if the fixture is
jarred from its programmed position. If a physical obstruction prevents the
fixture from correcting its position, the fixture “times out” to prevent wear on the
motors. If your fixture has timed out, remove the obstruction and home the
fixture to return it to normal operation.

RGB Color
The LED Tracking System uses Red, Gree n an d Blu e LE Ds (RG B) to pr oduce a colo r sp ect rum you
can control and dim independently from the main output beam. There are 36 RGB LED modules
that make up the LED Tracking System. Each RGB Module consists of a homogenizing lens and an
RGB die.
LED Tracking System
The LED Tracking System uses 3 watt LEDs that can produce close to 5000 lumens of light and
can be used along with or independent from the main output.The LED T r acking System allows you
to select an LED color that matches the color from the main output beam or tracks with a
complementary color.
LED Tracking Functions
The LED Tracking Syst em is capabl e of strobing and other effects independent from those applied
to the main output beam.
Color Function Description
Continuous Allows exact intensity control of each LED color.
Random Selects whole colors at variable speeds.
Cycle Cycles through colors.
Periodic Strobe Strobes LEDs at specified intervals.
LED Tracking System Dimming
Most automated luminaires have a single intensity system. In addition to the main output
intensity, the SHOWGUN provides an additional intensity system for the LED Tracking System. It
operates in two modes.
Dim Tracking Mode
In this mode, the LED Tracking System dims as the main output dims. When the Output Dim
channel is set at a lower intensity, it will override the LED Tracking Dim channel. Visually, the
lowest level takes precedence. This ensures that both intensity systems black out when the main
output blacks out (for example, when using the console’s Grand Master)
NOTE: You can view LEDs alone in the tracking mode if you close the lamp shutter.
Track i ng System In dependent Dim Mode
In this mode, the Dim parameter operates independently from the LED Tracking Dim Parameter,
allowing separate control over output dimming and LED dimming.
NOTE: This mode may result in SHOWGUN fixtures outputting LED intensity
when the console Grand Master is at zero.

Zoom and Focus
Zoom moves the 10” microfresnel lens in and out to make the image larger. Focus sharpens the
output by moving the air spaced achromatic lens located inside the lamp housing.
MSpeed (Motor Speed)
The MSpeed sets the time required for a motor to complete movement when changin g from one
position to another. MSpeed provides a means for all motors to reach their target position at the
same time, even though each motor may hav e different distances to travel. MSpeed movement is
extremely smooth because the fixture controls its own movements and is not dependent on DMX
refresh rates.
MSpeed times vary from 0.15 seconds to 252.7 seconds. However, if you apply MSpeed to a
parameter, be sure that the delay value (length of time allowed for the entire look) is longer than
the MSpeed value to allow the motors to complete their movement before the end of the c u e. An
MSpeed value that is longer than the delay value could produce an undesirable result; for
example, no light output during the scene. For a listing of exact MSpeed times, see
MSpeed Conversion Table on page 51.
MSpeed can be applied to the Pan and Tilt, Color, and Gobo functions. You can disable Pan and Tilt
MSpeed with the Control parameter to allow MSpeed to apply only to Color and/or Gobo
parameters.
Appendix A:
Macros
The Macro parameter controls Internal Effects™ macros. These are factory-programmed
sequences that allow you to quickly program complicated looks in one scene (cue). Each Internal
Effect™ macro modifies a specific set of parameters, while allowing user control of all other
parameters in the scene. The amplitude of the position macro movement is determ ined by the
Pan Coarse channel and Tilt Coarse channel, respectiv ely. The MSpeed channel controls the speed
of the macros.
With the MSpeed set at the default value of DMX 0-4, an Internal Effects macro completes its
movement in approximately 2.5 seconds. This provides a pleasing look when the additional
variation given by using the MSpeed channel is not required. With the MSpeed set between DMX
5-255, Internal Effects macros complete movement at the selected MSpeed time (up to 25
seconds).

Production Homing
If dimming or color flags are hitting endstops or if flags don’t fully move into the aperture, you can
manually recalibrate the flags using the production homing procedure:
1. Access the affected bulk head and remove it from the fixture.
2. Use the service harness headers to replace the connection between the bulk head flag motor
and the appropriate 2-phase board location. You can connect 1 or two flags to the 2-phase
board at a time. Flag 1 is the flag nearer the lamp and Flag 2 is the flag farthest from
the lamp on a bulk head.
NOTE: The two service harnesses provided are located behind the display
panel in the electronics housing.
3. Select TEST > SETUP MOTORS > YES in the menu system to home the flag.
4. Loosen the set screw at the base of the flag using a 2 mm hex key and adjust the flag
positioning.
5. Replace the bulk head and home the fixture.
NOTE: You can also use these steps when replacing a flag.
Accessing the Bulk Heads
All of the bulk head brackets are held in
the unit with two M4 socket caps. Use a
mm hex key f or removal.

Soft Edge Flag Bulk Head
You can easily adjust the soft edge
flags on this bulk head without removing it from the unit using a short 2
mm right angle hex key. If you choose
to remove the bulk head, use the
following steps:
1. First remove the retaining clip from each lens shaft
2. Push the microfresnel lens up to lift it off the fixture.
3. Remove the two M4 socket caps using a 3mm hex key and slide the bulk head out of the unit.
