The Rosco I-Cue Intelligent Mirror allows you to use your spotlights with much greater flexibility and control. The major function of the I-Cue is the ability to re-position the beam of light so a single spotlight in a fixed position can illuminate dozens of different locations.

The Rosco I-Cue has onboard DMX, which means that control and direction of the mirror -- and the beam it reflects -- is available through your lighting control system. The industry standard DMX protocol assures accurate and repeatable beam placement.

With a pan of 230 degrees and a tilt of 57.3degrees, the I-Cue can convert any standard theatrical spotlight into an effective moving light. Color scrollers made by all the major manufacturers can be used with the I-Cue, allowing you to create spectacular moving-light, moving-color effects so popular in today's lighting designs.

Moving Light Effects

The Rosco I-Cue is an intelligent mirror accessory designed to allow users of ellipsoidal spotlights to achieve many of the moving light effects traditionally available with automated fixtures. The unit is controlled via DMX 512 in 8 bit or 16 bit resolution. The moving mirror head offers smooth pan and tilt as well as quick response re-positioning.

Multiple Positioning

The Rosco I-Cue also acts as a multiple positioning light fixture for any space with a limited number of lighting fixtures, limited hang space, or a limited number of dimmers, allowing a single fixture to take the place of multiple single use fixtures. Utilizing the onboard DMX makes changing positions as simple as recording a cue, or multiple cues on your light board.

The plastic mirror used in the Rosco I-Cue is a first surface mirror, 6"x 7" (15.24 x 17.78 cm). DMX addressing is achieved through user friendly rotary decimal switches (see back page for details).

Addressing The Unit

The I-Cue comes with onboard DMX addressing via 3 rotary switches. To address the unit to channel 300, you would simply set switch 1 to position 3, switch 2 to position 0 and switch 3 to position 0. Make sure there are no other fixtures or effects set to the same address before choosing your channels.

Modes of Operation

The I-Cue comes with the ability for 8 bit or 16 bit operating resolution which can be set by the user via an onboard dip switch. Switch 1 selects 8 bit resolution (off) and 16 bit resolution (on).

In 8 bit mode the unit is set for 2 channels of operation from your light-board, pan and tilt.

8 Bit Channel Breakdown:

First Channel - Pan - 0.9 Degrees of Resolution
Second Channel - Tilt - 0.225 degrees of Resolution

In 16 bit mode the unit is set for 4 channels of operation from your light board, Pan Course, Pan Fine, Tilt Course and Tilt Fine.

Non DMX "Demo" Mode

All units come with a pre-programmed "chase sequence" for either self testing the unit without the presence of a DMX signal or for when you want random non-DMX moving light effects(commonly referred to as a "Ballyhoo"). To put the unit into demo mode simply set the DMX address to 600.
