Apollo Smart Color gel scroller
Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2014 3:19 am
New QLC+ user here, thought I'd try making a fixture to give back. A local school theater has a bunch of dimmed ETC Parnels with these gel scrollers on them. They're available with two different gel strings, Theater and Rock'NRoll.

This page describes the product (Smart Color 7.25) that the theater has - since then Apollo has replaced them with Smart Color Pro which has more features / more DMX channels.
This fixture definition covers both modes on the non-Pro unit - scroll only, and scroll + fanspeed. I made a copy and changed the colors to match each gel string. Apollo lists the RGB equivalents for their colors so I used them when creating the fixtures. Love how the colors show up on the simple desk slider.

I haven't gotten back to the theater to try QLC+ or these fixture definitions with real hardware, but they should work - it's not too complicated.
