FIXTURE NOTES

JB Lighting
Varyscan 7
Notes
There a number of different versions of user manuals and DMX specs available for this
fixture and there are some discrepancies between them. Furthermore, there are no
revision numbers on the user manuals so Jands is not able to determine the most recent
information. Jands has had to determine the most accurate information from all sources.
Additionally there are a number of areas of conflicting or missing information.
Please try the personalities before programming.
The most significant difference is that DMX Spec says the fixture has a JB Mode/Hog
Mode menu option as well as the usual 8/16 bit option, while the user manual says it just
has 8/16 bit modes. Jands have written personalities for both the JB mode and the HOG
mode.
** If the fixtures being used do not have the JB/Hog option, use the JB personalities **
The other differences between the two are:
- Two documents list the colours in a different order on colour wheel 2
- Each gobo wheel channel has some ranges of wheel spin. One document shows a
range of wheel spin 0 between forward and reverse spin ranges, the other just has the
forward and reverse spin ranges. Jands has assumed the latter is correct so that the
user will have access to every DMX value for the channel.
Missing information includes:
- The diagram in the current user manual showing the gobos fitted to the two wheels
does not say which wheel is which, or which is slot 1, slot 2, etc. The gobos in the
personalities may be on the wrong wheel, or may be in reverse order, or both. Please
advise Jands if this is the case so that a correct fixture personality can be published.
- There are several ranges where the manual does not say if they are slow - fast or fast
to slow (eg the two gobo index/rotate channels).
Full details are in the Known Issues section of each personality contained in the user
manual for the fixture available from www.jb-lighting-de.
Please advise Jands of any discrepancies with this fixture personality.
