Abstract
A scrim system and automated luminaire are provided. The automated luminaire includes a light source, a scrim system, and control electronics. The scrim system moves a scrim into a light beam received from the light source and rotates the scrim. The control electronics control the scrim system to move the scrim a selected distance into the light beam and to rotate the scrim independently to a selected angle relative to the light beam.
Claims20
A scrim system comprising a scrim, the scrim system being configured to:
- position the scrim in a received light beam, the scrim configured to reduce an intensity of a portion of the received light beam without completely blocking the portion of the received light beam;
- move the scrim a controlled distance into the received light beam;
- rotate the scrim around an optical axis of the received light beam to a controlled angle relative to the received light beam;
- and
- move the scrim into the received light beam from the controlled angle relative to the received light beam, the controlled angle being independent of the selected distance.
