3. Features

The GLP impression S500 Series builds on the GLP impression S350 series fixtures by increasing the LED power to 500W giving 30% to 65% more output. In addition, the optics, software and all connections and controls have been updated to the latest technology. Compact construction, the identical S350 size factor and GLP's baseless design allow for an easy fixture integration.

The impression S500 Profile comes in two versions (Profile HC and Profile HO) and targets specific needs of different markets.

  • The Profile HC Version houses a white LED Engine with 26,000 lm at native 6,000 K and generates a very balanced light spectrum for great color rendering of CRI and TLCI above 90. Its great light quality guarantees natural and realistic skin colors and a total lumen output of 10,700 lm.
  • The Profile HO Version houses a white LED Engine with 40,000 lm at native 7,000 K. This highly efficient light source generates more output for powerful projections and mid-air effects with a total lumen output of 14,800 lm.

Both versions share a very even field illumination in the range of 7.5^ to 40^ field angle. The vast feature package houses a CMY color mixing system, an innovative CTC color control system, a color wheel with 6 full colors and 4 color correction filters, a gobo wheel with 7 rotating gobos plus open, a second gobo wheel with 10 static gobos plus open, a 90^ adjustable animation wheel, a fadeable frost system from soft to medium, a precise 4-blade framing system with blade tilt and framing rotation, a rotating 8-facet prism and motorized 540^/565^ pan and 256^ tilt movement.

The IP20 compact housing only weighs 26.9 kg and allows low-noise operation, making the fixtures perfect for noise sensitive professional applications such as TV studios, theatres and musicals (HC Version), while the higher output of the HO Version is perfect for applications such as shows, concerts, galas, events, trade shows, festivals, clubs, bars and discotheques.

Control options

The impression S500 Profile HO/HC is compatible with DMX 512, RDM, Art-Net, sACN and can be fitted with a Lumenradio CRMX module.

When receiving Art-Net, sACN or CRMX the fixture can output the received data to the DMX XLR port for use by other fixtures (Ethernet Config → Node option).

When no control data is being received you can set the fixture to Blackout, Hold the last data or go to a stored stand alone scene (Fixture Settings → No Signal option).

The fixture also features GLP iQ.Mesh and may be fitted with an optional LumenRadio CRMX module. The GLP iQ.Mesh Module allows easy configuration, control, service and maintenance via the GLP iQ.Service App. Other FPO modules can be supplied on request – GLP Service can give details.

User setting presets

You can store the current fixture option settings in one of 3 presets, this allows you to recall the fixture options into a known state (Fixture Settings → Load Settings and Service → Advanced → Save Settings).

Pan and Tilt

The impression S500 Profile HO/HC has motorized pan and tilt movement with coarse and fine (16 bit) control channels.

Direction of movement

With the fixture standing on the ground:

- Increasing Pan moves yoke clockwise from home position.

- increasing Tilt moves head to the front from home position.

Pan/Tilt direction can be reversed using the Fixture Settings → Invert settings or via DMX on the Special/Control channel. This can be useful when setting up symmetrical movement in multiple fixtures.

Position feedback and self-correction

The fixture has a position feedback and self-correction system that brings the head back to its correct position if it was unintentionally moved.

The fixture at first tries twice to move to the correct position. If it cannot move to this position, it waits for a short period and then tries again.

Motor drive and position feedback are automatically disabled for a short time if you press one of the control panel buttons so you can move the head manually to access the display panel. Pan/Tilt remains disabled while you are using the fixture's control panel.

Position feedback can also be set to constantly disabled using the Fixture Settings → Position Feedback option.

Fixture performance (speed) options

You can adjust the speed (and noise level) of fixture movements and its internal function motors by selecting from 3 different performance options in Fixture Settings → Performance.

Intensity / Dimmer

The electronic dimming effect provides smooth 16-bit dimming of the fixture output. Three dimming curves with different dimming characteristics are available.

Light level Fader position Linear

GLP impression S500 Profile - Intensity / Dimmer - 2

line | Fader position | Light level | | -------------- | ----------- | | Low | Low | | Medium | Medium | | High | High |

GLP impression S500 Profile - Intensity / Dimmer - 3

line | Fader position | Light level | | --------------- | ----------- | | Low | 0 | | Medium | Medium | | High | High |

Figure 2. Dimming curves

The PWM frequency of the LED dimming can be adjusted if you have problems with camera flicker using the Fixture Settings → PWM Frequency option. The PWM Frequency is shown on the top line of the screen. Higher PWM frequencies will reduce the dimming performance / resolution.

Shutter

The fixture's shutter channel offers continuous blackout, continuous open and a range of intensity effects.

The following shutter effects are available:

  • Pulse dims up and down smoothly with the same fade-in and fade-out times. Speed can be adjusted from slow to fast.
  • Pulse open fades in and then snaps to blackout. Speed can be adjusted from slow to fast.
  • Pulse close fades out and then snaps to full. Speed can be adjusted from slow to fast.
  • Strobe random strobes the fixture at random intervals, allowing a random strobe between multiple fixtures. Speed can be adjusted from slow to fast.
  • Strobe strobes the fixture at a regular speed and also perfectly synchronizes the strobe in multiple fixtures so that all the fixtures flash at exactly the same time. Speed can be adjusted from slow to fast.

Control / Special channel

The Special/Control DMX channel lets you change fixture settings and perform a fixture reset from the control desk (which can be very useful during a show). To apply a command on the Special/Control channel, you must hold the command for the time indicated in the DMX channel index (usually 3 seconds).

To trigger a reset using the Special/Control channel, you must send the DMX value for this function for 3 seconds. If you want to trigger an additional reset using the Special/Control channel, you must first move away from the Reset DMX value and then return to this value. This stops the fixture getting into an unwanted Reset loop if it is patched wrongly.

Note: Most of the fixture settings available in the fixture's control menus or on the Special/Control DMX channel are also available via RDM.

Zoom

The impression S500 Profile HO/HC has motorized zoom control that lets you vary the beam angle from wide to narrow as the DMX value increases. You can invert this using the Fixture Settings → Zoom Invert option.

The "Performance" Setting allows you to limit the Zoom speed to control the noise made by the zoom movement.

Focus

The Focus Channel let you adjust the sharpness of the projection. The fixture has a Focus Tracking feature which automatically adjusts the focus when the zoom is changed to keep the image sharp. This is set using the Fixture Settings → Focus Tracking option.

The option can be set depending on the beam throw distance to Near (under 12m), Medium (12-15m), Far (over 20m) or Off (manual focus). When Focus Tracking is enabled, the Focus control channel selects the focus position between Open-Gobo1-Gobo2-Animation-Framing.

Color Mix / Color Wheel / CTC

The Color Mix and Color Temperature (CTC) functions of the fixture are based on three color flags giving variable amounts of Cyan, Magenta and Yellow filtering.

The fixture also has a fixed Color Wheel with 10 slots. These can be used as a base color which you can modify with the CMY controls.

Framing

The fixture has a four-blade framing module which gives individual control of each blade, which can be inserted up to 100% allowing framing size right down to complete blackout. Additionally the whole module can be positioned from -45° to +45°.

The blades have 2 control modes:

  • PI (Position/Index mode), the default mode, controls blade insertion 0-100% on one channel, and blade tilt -30° to +30° on a second channel.
  • LR (Left/Right mode) controls the position of the left side of the blade on one channel, and the right side of the blade on the second channel.

Effect / Animation wheel

The fixture has an effect/animation wheel which can be rotated at variable speed in either direction to give a ripple or movement effect (adjust focus to give desired effect).

Frost

The variable frost allows you to soften the edges of the projected light beam. There are 2 ranges of frost, light and medium.

Prism

The fixture has an 8-facet prism which can be continuously rotated in either direction.

4. Control panel

GLP impression S500 Profile - Control panel - 1

Warning! DMX control is disabled when the control menus are active. Be prepared for the head to move as soon as you exit the control menus.

The control panel and backlit graphic LCD display with self-charging battery allow you to change fixture settings, view readouts and use utilities quickly and intuitively, even when the fixture is disconnected from power.
