ADB MD/Warp: Mechanical Douser System

ADB MD/Warp Colour Scroller Head
MD/Warp Mechanical Douser
Designed for Warp daylight spotlights

The MD/Warp, a DMX-controlled mechanical douser (or dimmer shutter), is designed for use with the ADB Warp Daylight series of spotlights.

MD/Warp offers a very smooth dimming movement, controlled by DMX, providing smooth fading and no light spill when closed. A linear dimming law means that the brightness is adapted to the DMX value.

A 16-bit control mode provides a high resolution drive, although fades up to two hours duration are possible. Light flashes of 0.2 seconds can also be acvhieved.

Fan speed can be controlled to reduce noise when necessary.

The intuitive interface is navigated via a backlit LCD display, with easy to understand menus.

Use with ADB Warp/M spotlights

The douser needs no power supply in normal operation: each Warp/M spotlight distributes both DC power and DMX512 control signal to an attached MD/Warp unit. The Warp/M will also automatically remap the DMX values from the lighting control system to DMX address 1 on its colour scroller output connector. This has the advantage that all MD/Warp dousers can be set to DMX address 1.
