Chauvet Professional Ovation Rêve E-3

14Ch1 and 14Ch2 have different functions and channel orders.

1. 14Ch1 combines dimmer and RGBAM with virtual wheel, temperature, program and control functions. 14Ch2 uses fine dimmer and RGBAM, with strobe and rotator. Select the exact personality.
2. 6Ch has direct color channels and no master dimmer; 1Ch dims the locally selected mix. Do not transfer controls between modes.
3. HSV uses 4 channels because it includes the rotator. Check footprint and attributes before diagnosing an extra channel or fixture fault.

First compare settings, signal and firmware on the same surface.

1. Check Red Shift: when enabled, it changes dimming appearance to emulate halogen. Also compare Color Calibration and curve; preserve calibration settings before editing.
2. For 16-bit dimmer control, the manual recommends Dimmer Mode Off in 12Ch, 14Ch2 and 18Ch. Verify coarse and fine console channels.
3. Off and Silent Fan Modes reduce output and increase housing temperature. For changes over time, check ventilation; for camera use, test PWM with actual frame rate and shutter settings.

The manufacturer restricts this combination because of reflected heat.

1. Do not use the soft-focus filter with gobos or large shutter cuts. It reduces visible LED imaging when looking at the lens; it is not a general solution for diffusion.
2. Disconnect and allow cooling before fitting or removing it. Follow its orientation and remove any protective film; avoid fingerprints.
3. Do not force a warped filter against the blades. Inspect and replace the accessory as instructed before operating again.

Identify gobo, holder and lens tube, plus a compatible rotator if movement is needed. A rotator channel in the profile does not confirm the accessory is included.

1. Share the image or reference, surface, approximate size and available throw. Test focus, orientation and contrast before approving the result.
2. We can assess fixed projection, a documented rotator option or a different background treatment. When using gobos, prepare the fixture without the soft-focus filter, as stated in the technical precaution above.
3. Include the date, venue, ambient light, and whether the image must stay fixed, rotate, or change during the show. State whether the artwork is final and how much time is available to prepare and test the system. For animation or multiple content items, we can compare another projection solution. The proposal will detail design, gobo production, accessories, installation, preparation, and operation.

Assess framing around speaker positions and light spill onto the background using the lens tube and accessories planned for the setup.

1. Rehearse shutters and focus across the planned movement with bright and dark screen content; check each shot if recording.
2. We can compare another position, confirmed optics or separate people and background lighting. Start with photos, approximate dimensions and existing equipment; mounting and operation are defined in the proposal.

The lens tube is part of the system that needs to be specified. The proposal should identify it along with the rental accessories so coverage and the shape of the lit area can be assessed.

1. Send approximate throw, area or image size, and approved mounting positions. We can assess documented optics for the task, another position, or several areas. Before combining a fixture body and lens, check thermal and optical compatibility in the documentation for that combination; physical fit alone does not establish it.
2. The proposal can include the fixture body, exact lens tube, task accessories, supports, and control. Tell us what your production supplies and whether you need preparation, focus, framing, rehearsal, or operation, so the required equipment and services can be quoted.
