Rosco I-Cue Intelligent Mirror

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 57.3 degrees, 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.
 

Maximum Versatility

The I-Cue elegantly solves lighting challenges common in so many venues and productions. With limited fixtures available for your plot, the I-Cue lets you create multiple specials without dedicating multiple fixtures to single purpose focus points. Reparatory light plots will benefit immediately by including a system of I-Cues that can be repurposed for each show without re-hanging or re-focusing! And virtually any effect that requires simple sweeps, pans or tilt can be made without the cost and installation burdens associated with moving lights.

Installation and Operation:

The Rosco I-Cue will fit virtually any fixture with a 6-1/4in color frame slot such as the ETC Source Four, Selecon Pacific and many others. Larger color frames which require an alternate mounting plate may be available. Check with Rosco. The broad range of motion for the I-Cue mirror - 230 degrees of pan and 57 degrees of tilt - allows a wide area of the stage to be covered from a single hanging position although the necessary fixture orientation (horizontal for most applications) requires slightly more space.

Power:

The I-Cue requires a 24v power supply unit such as the Rosco PSU 50. A 4-pin XLR "scroller" cable is used to connect the PSU to the I-Cue. Multiple units may be "daisy chained" together, limited by cable length guidelines and wattage limitations of the PSU. The I-Cue draws a maximum continuous load of 17 watts. Many of the 24 volt power supply units offered by the major manufacturers of color scrollers will run the Rosco I-Cue. Here is a partial list of the scroller power supply units known to be compatible with the Rosco I-Cue: Wybron - Forerunner; Rainbow - Mini, Maxi and Micro; AC Lighting - Chroma Q and Christie Lites - Color Q

Control:

Operated via a DMX console, the I-Cue can be used in either 8-bit or 16-bit resolution. In 8-Bit mode, the I-Cue uses 2 channels of DMX control, one for pan and one for tilt with 0.9 degrees of pan resolution and 0.225 degrees of tilt resolution. In 16-bit mode, the device requires 4 channels of DMX (pan + fine pan, tilt + fine tilt) and achieves 0.028 degrees of resolution in both pan and tilt for much smoother, more precise positioning.

The LED display allows for easy configuration of operating modes and DMX addressing. See the I-Cue Operation Manual for instructions.

Stand Alone Mode:

For installations where DMX control is not available, simple repetitive motions can be programmed directly into the I-Cue. See I-Cue Operation Manual for details. In addition, 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.

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.
