Introduction The DPS850 is a combination dimmer / power supply allowing the user to create a stand alone fixture from a conventional lighting fixture and theatrical accessory. The DPS850 accepts 115 – 240VAC 50/60Hz input power and DMX and provides up to 800 watts of dimming for the fixture, as well as DC power and control signal for theatrical accessories including scrollers, gobo rotators, and dichroic color mixers.
Installation NEXERA The DPS850 can be configured as an integral part of the Nexera fixture. In this configuration the DPS850 dimmed output is hard wired to the Nexera lamp assembly eliminating the lamp connection as a potential point of failure. The DPS850 can either be hung from pipe near the Nexera fixture or bolted to the Nexera yoke. Connect the DPS850 to a grounded power circuit 100 – 240VAC ~ 50/60Hz. Connect the four pin XLR accessory output to the Nexera color module Power/Signal input.

InfoTrace InfoTrace is a control and management system, from Wybron Inc., that incorporates both hardware and software to remotely manage a device (RDM) within a lighting installation.
InfoChip. Because InfoGate can work with any equipment, the setup, unit testing, and troubleshooting for an entire rig can be coordinated from a single laptop. Wybron's IT equipment (Coloram IT, CXI IT, Eclipse IT, and Eclipse II IT) is equipped with a series of sensors that can relay a wealth of information to InfoGate. These sensors can detect everything from light, voltage, current, to fan speed and even gelstring frame color information.
