Ayrton Cobra

Separate zoom position from optical operating mode.

1. Compare Zoom Mode: Beam, Spot or Special. Then check Beam Mode and Prism Mode; they can change usable range or effect clipping.
2. Check that a palette or control channel is not sending another mode. Do not force motors or change safety limits to regain coverage.
3. Zoom Behavior may offer an option named Cobra 2 depending on firmware. It is a behavior setting, not proof that the fixture is Cobra² or shares every capability.

CTO Control determines where correction is controlled in applicable modes.

1. Match CTO Control to the personality: it can use the color wheel or a separate channel. Do not assume the same route across profiles.
2. Return wheel and mixing to a known reference while preserving intended limits. Match coarse and fine channels to the actual revision’s chart.
3. When fixtures differ, record firmware and settings before editing palettes. History includes synchronization changes; this does not establish an update as a tested solution.

Check signal and recovery functions separately.

1. No DMX Status can use Close, Hold or Auto. Sun Protection can tilt the head on signal loss; keep the path clear and do not mistake it for a positioning fault.
2. To forward WDMX or Art-Net/sACN through XLR, check DMX Output. A connector does not establish that conversion is enabled.
3. Hibernation can cause a reset sequence when DMX returns. Test recovery with controlled output and a clear area before use with an audience.

We can study composition and effect travel, but a festival reference does not guarantee the same result elsewhere. Application distances and exposure must be assessed first.

1. Send a reference, plan or photos, approximate heights and distances, audience areas and camera positions. If atmosphere is part of the design, confirm venue permission and conditions; it is not assumed included or permitted.
2. We can compare Cobra for a technically viable effect with light on scenery or visual content if the geometry does not work. Tell us what your production supplies and whether you need equipment, installation, fixture profile and patch adaptation, programming, rehearsal or operation; GLMedia can assess and quote those scopes separately. Any atmospheric effect also needs separate confirmation. Model, availability, quantity and accessories remain subject to confirmation; audience scanning or changing limits to reproduce a video is not offered.

Cobra has gobos and optical effects, but no Profile framing shutters. A narrow beam is not equivalent to adjustable four-sided framing.

1. Share shape, approximate size and surface, possible fixture position and ambient light. Assess the effect with the actual optics while retaining existing restrictions; a gobo name alone does not establish a border or shape.
2. We can compare a shuttered Profile to define the area with Cobra for effects, or a solution dedicated to the main goal. Equipment, accessories and quantity require assessment; one source is not assumed to perform both tasks.

Cobra uses physical gobos and optical effects. Do not assume DMX control can load any image or video, or that a stock gobo reproduces your brand; customization requires specific validation.

1. Send the design or a reference, whether it stays fixed or changes during the show, approximate surface and image size, throw and possible positions, ambient light and camera framing. Clarify whether you want an aerial effect or readable content on a surface; these are different goals and remain subject to this page’s usage restrictions.
2. We can assess Cobra for textures and effects, another fixture with a specific gobo whose compatibility is documented, or video projection/a screen for variable content. Selection requires reviewing the design and venue: fabrication, content preparation, installation, programming and operation are quoted according to scope, without confirming readability, compatibility or lead times before assessment.
