Gobo Indexing

check it out in the 3D and that will show you.
but gobo indexing is where you can finely turn the gobo and rotate and have it stay at that position. say you had a Line or a cross gobo. with gobo indexing you can adjust the position of the gobo to any degree that you want. Make sense? Or no? Let me know.
Sincerely,

Well, I'm glad that's cleared up. I had been wondering about that myself.

For my current batch of fixtures and how I run things, this is not a necessary feature. But I can definately see this being extremely critical with custom gobos so they are displayed properly.

Notice the bars on the stage? Those are from two DS 575Es. I had to index them to get them to basically slant together. It is useful for stuff like that or gobos that have words/letters/numbers or pictures on them. Use it a lot in big corporate events for their logo gobos.

Going for sun through the blinds sort of thing?

Looks good though.

Not going for anything so much as trying to break it up. Was very flat and people can only look at blue wash on stage so many times before they are sick of it. I will have to post a video of Guys and Dolls when i get a chance, the Crab Shooters Dance and Luck Be a Lady came out awesome.

Interesting concept. I can't take advantage of that because I don't have the right type of lights, but that's a good idea to keep in the back of my mind.

The show I'm working on uses a lot of colors to identify with characters. It does get a bit bland, so I see what you mean. What I do is vary the color on the follow spot, or use a different accent color on the Mega Bar 50's. Not quite as effective though.

Yea, I use it all the time. In church scenes, I will often do something with glass gobos to make it look like light is coming through a stained glass window. For woods scenes, I often use leaf break ups like this:


This was more of a sun coming through the window type thing:


Both of those were static gobos in lekos though.

cool.
