Ayrton Rivale Profile

Prepare Rivale Profile with a defined control source and DMX mode; distinguish CMY mixing, framing protection and Defog.

Ask GLMedia about renting Ayrton Rivale Profile for your event. Availability and configuration are subject to confirmation.

Model and purpose

Manufacturer
Ayrton
Model
Ayrton Rivale Profile
Reference
Rivale Profile 012321; distinct from Rivale Wash
Optics
Motorized 4°–52° zoom; 4 framing blades
Power
100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz; 700 W maximum
Control
DMX, RDM, CRMX TiMo, Art-Net and sACN

A Profile moving head with a white LED source, subtractive CMY mixing, CTO, CTP and a color wheel. Use it for gobo projection, framing areas and moving effects. Pan and tilt support continuous rotation: plan clearance before powering up or restoring signal.

Prepare your rental inquiry

Specify whether you need equipment only or also setup, programming, operation and strike.

You do not need a final equipment list: tell us the result you want and the part you need help with. Availability and scope are confirmed in the proposal.

Features and connections

5-pin XLR carries DMX and RJ45 In / Out carries network data; TRUE1 TOP In / Out carries power. The output connector rating does not establish the circuit’s available capacity.

Zoom, focus, iris, prisms and frost have different roles. A saturated color with closed framing is not the same optical state as open white for output comparison.

Provide suitable support or a surface, compatible accessories, non-dimmed power and a configured control source. CRMX requires a compatible transmitter; network control requires matching universe and addressing.

Prepare the system

  1. Check variant, firmware and DMX chart. Release pan and tilt transport locks, secure fastening and clear the movement envelope before applying power.
  2. In Address, select signal source, universe where applicable and start address. In Mode, match fixture and console personalities; user modes can change channel order.
  3. Record No DMX Status, Sun Protection, fan mode and Framing Mode before testing. Begin with an isolated fixture in open white, aimed into a controlled area.

Questions and troubleshooting

Linked or receiving network data, but the console controls the wrong functions?

A link does not prove that source, universe, mode and patch match.

  1. Check Address and its DMX, WDMX, Art-Net or sACN selection; then compare universe and address with the console output.
  2. Match Standard and Extend to the installed revision’s chart. If missing from the library, obtain the exact personality and revision; do not select Rivale Wash or a similar moving head.
  3. To isolate radio or network, propose a test with known wired DMX. To forward WDMX or Art-Net/sACN through XLR, check DMX Output; do not assume it is enabled.
Does output fall when inserting blades, iris or gobos?

Separate optical state from settings that manage power and temperature.

  1. Compare on the same surface with zoom, focus, filters, iris and dimmer recorded. Check Framing Mode: Constant ON reduces output immediately with iris or blades for stable output; OFF may reduce it after a period.
  2. Check fan mode and temperature. Gobo Control can match RA and RV revisions; do not change this or calibration parameters to compensate for an unidentified loss.
  3. Record firmware and check its history before diagnosing a fault. Versions change color-mixing and framing behavior; plan and verify any update outside the show.
Does Defog change brightness and zoom, or does the head move on signal loss?

These are separate functions and both require clearance.

  1. Defog ON sets dimmer to maximum and zoom to minimum while activating defogging. Use it only when necessary, with beam path and movement clear.
  2. Defog AUTO responds to temperature and humidity without changing zoom or dimmer, according to the manual. Check the selected mode before returning the fixture to a cue.
  3. Sun Protection can tilt the head toward the ground on signal loss. Also check No DMX Status: Close, Hold or Auto. Keep direct sunlight out of the lens, including when power is off.
Can we frame different presenter positions during the show?

We can assess prepared positions and shutter cuts. Define the presenter’s travel, cues and operator before programming; moving-head capability alone does not provide automatic person tracking.

  1. Send a plan or photos with approximate marks, mounting height and transition moments. Rehearse position, focus, shutters and level at each mark, including travel between them and recovery after signal return.
  2. We can compare cues for known positions with wider fixed light or a dedicated followspot service, depending on travel. State what equipment and personnel your production supplies; GLMedia can assess and quote supply, installation, power and data, fixture profile and patch, programming, rehearsal and operation as separate scopes. Model, availability, quantity, accessories and responsibilities are confirmed in the proposal; renting the fixture alone does not include tracking or programming.
Will one setting suit a decorative gobo and lighting people?

These are different optical looks. Saturated color, gobo, frost, iris and shutters can change image and useful light; they should not all be compared with open white as equivalent results.

  1. Share references for both looks, surfaces, approximate throws and camera details where relevant. Test each state and transition with recorded Framing Mode and fan settings; retain manual power and temperature restrictions.
  2. We can assess Rivale for the planned looks or separate projection and people lighting using dedicated sources. Quantities, optics, accessories and operation depend on testing; one fixture is not guaranteed to perform simultaneous tasks at different positions.
Can we project a brand’s logo during the show?

We can assess projection with a specific gobo, but stock gobos do not establish logo availability. Design, compatibility with the actual unit and results on the surface must be reviewed before offering customization.

  1. Send the design or a reference, date, projection surface and approximate image size, available throw and position, ambient light and camera details if recorded. Clarify whether you need a fixed image, rotation or changing text and content. Confirm model, revision and intended gobo; rehearse focus, orientation, edge and readability in the actual scene rather than inferring them from file size alone.
  2. We can assess a compatible gobo with qualified preparation and installation, another suitable fixture, or video projection/a screen for variable content. Fabrication or supply, lead time, installation, programming, rehearsal and operation are reviewed separately. Exact color reproduction, detail, gobo availability or one fixture projecting the brand while lighting people elsewhere at the same time are not confirmed.
