Chrosziel Colibri Wireless remote - dimmer
Colibri controls the head light of the “suspended cameras” and each mobile DMX dimmer from the lighting console.
The transmitter takes in the control input of the DMX board, changes it into a digital data package and transmits the setting to the receiver with built-in dimmer. All tungsten lights of up to 75 watts can be connected to the dimmer. The necessary control voltage for the LED lights from Litepanel is also accessible from the receiver, so that the LED light’s internal dimmer also is controlled. An 8-pin jack is available on the receiver, thus providing the option to control remotely other manufacturers’ LED lights in the future. At this jack, the DMX signal of the set address is available, too. With this, lights which are mounted at wider distance or high above the scene can be remote-controlled.
Although the control of the light controller from the DMX signal is the main use, there is also the possibility to set the dimmer manually using a potentiometer from the transmitter and on the camera (receiver). This should be seen, initially as an emergency feature, but can also be used intentionally. If there is no DMX signal for the transmitter, this switches to manual and a blue LED light on the potentiometer shows its activity. If the transmitter is switched off or there is no RF signal at the receiver for other reasons, its potentiometer adjusts the brightness. All DMX addresses from 1 to 512 can easily be set decimally on three scales. The same radio modules are used as with the lens control Aladin. This means that the same frequencies are available and because the “language” is otherwise the same, the Colibri receiver/dimmer can be operated by an Aladin remote control, too.
