Don’t forget the Proteus Rayzor 760 has a powerful built in effects engine/generator ready to use instantly from your DMX console.

If you are short of time to program and achieve great looks the engine can be used to create FX patterns for both the main 7 LED’s but also separate and independent FX for the 28 SparkLED’s.

So these FX not only cover the LED pattern of movement (rings, arrows, snakes, burst, chases, etc) but also offer colour patterns too (red flash, RBGWCMY cells, RGB rows, etc)

Furthermore you can apply different speeds, paths (Sinewave, sawtooth, ramps, etc), offsets (between different fixtures) and even randomisation.

The fixture manual gives you a great guide to options and use, see pages 40 to 50 & you can download it here (also see the DMX traits to see the specific channels for the particular mode you are using) - https://www.elationlighting.eu/proteus-rayzor-760

Try it out, experiment and see the amazing looks that can be brought to life with the push of a few buttons. For someone new to the fixture or a seasoned lighting operator/designer we think this often overlooked engine offers a powerful library of instant creativity!
