Intelli Question

yes you can hang it upside down but , wouldnt u want ur lights going onto the crowd?

actually, it depends. if you have enough lights, it does look cool to see moving images on the ceiling. But the advantage is when the lights are upside down, they can also scan onto the floor, as well as the ceiling.

Well sometimes i hang them upside down and angle them so they cover the floor and ceiling.

either way for it being upside down or upside right it won't do any hrm and it does have it hi's and lo's to it when its flipped. but though when the intelligent light is flipped upside down it makes the heat escape a lot easier.

It does make the wires more visable too. Im not worried about heat. Thats why i pay for intels that will stay cool.

Just use a moving head! hhihihih.... Costs more but can be hung in any position, and will project almost anywhere around it!

Hey, umm, well, if your lights are good enough, you dont have to even angle them, the mirror should be good enough as it is to be able to reach the cieling and the floor at all times

Mirrors dont tilt more than 110degs usually, so it is mostly NOT enough to hit the ceiling and floor.... unless you put them sideways...

Actually that is not entirely true...I have hing some dj scans upside down while also tilting them when I mounted them. It worked really great and looked awesome. One time there was a stage that had two levels. I put the intells upside down oni the floor in back of the lowest level so there was light coming from beghind the people ion the stage. With fog it looked really cool.

The Mx-1s and Mx-4s have a 230 degree pan so if u put it on its side it would definatly hit the floor and cieling as well as some of the walls behind it

Thats about standard on pan amounts for scanners. Its all about the tilt, and most really dont go more that 120degs. Hes right.

Pan is normally about 170-180 degrees.

Tilt is normally 90 degrees but some are 110

if you wanna hang your lights upside down, make sure it's not facing the ceiling. hang it down a little more. I once saw a dj do that and gobos were on the ceiling. looked cool but should of been on the crowd

You are right, you don;t want to hand the lights at a 90 degree angles cause then you onley get most of the lights above your head in one area...if you tilt it out more towards the crowd then the beams will travel farther out onto the ceiling.

Emm, the mirror may tilt 120, 110 or whatever but the only useful range is within 90. If you consider 0 degrees to be pointing back into the lens then at 90 degress the surface of the mirror will be perpendicular to the lens and not reflect anything. Pan could, in theory rap 360 degress around the fixture minus the space the connecting metal took up, which is why the MX's have that great Pan range, although, at 230 deg and only 8 bit movement they're way too inaccurate for anything which requires precise positioning.

I use MX-4's and the mirror's are very smooth and accurate. Mar+in uses high quality stepper motors.

Im not debating that Mandiga (I have a pair of Roboscan 1220 RPRs and the mirrors are fabulous) what I'm saying is 230 degress divided by 256 posible positions is not accurate enough for many of the things I do (mostly theater where are I need exact specials). Maybe Ive just been spoiled by 16bit movement, and I guess it may have been a useless feature to many looking for a scanner in this price range but I wish they had included it. By the way, does anyone else think the MX-10 is way overpriced?

yeah, tell me about overpriced, I may be wrong, but I think elation's JOY 300 is better for a lower price.

No.... not better!!!! not at all... but defnitely better priced!
