Arianne 6

The ROBE Arianne 6 is a moving LED wash and effect fixture implemented in Theatrical: Realistic Pack (TRP).

Its TRP implementation is built around 19 individually represented RGBW lenses and combines conventional wash behaviour with pixel control, flower effects, patterns and ScreenPix-style operation in its more advanced personalities.

Arianne 6 focuses on multi-source colour, wash, pixel and effect operation rather than conventional gobo projection.

DMX Modes

The Arianne 6 currently includes the following TRP personalities:

Mode	Channels
Theatrical	7
Mode 1: LEDBeam Compatible	22
Mode 2: Festival / TV	27
Mode 3: Full / ScreenPix	58

Mode 1: LEDBeam Compatible is the default personality in the reviewed implementation.

The selected personality determines both the available controls and the fixture’s total DMX footprint.

Mode 1: LEDBeam Compatible

A 22-channel personality intended to provide a compact control layout compatible with the LEDBeam-style workflow used by the fixture implementation.

Mode 2: Festival / TV

A 27-channel personality intended for broader show, festival and television-style operation.

Mode 3: Full / ScreenPix

The most detailed Arianne 6 personality currently implemented in TRP.

At 58 channels, this mode exposes the richer pixel, pattern and ScreenPix-style functionality.

For example, an Arianne 6 using Mode 3 at Address 1 occupies:

Channels 1–58

Exact DMX channel-value ranges are not included unless separately validated against the complete personality implementation.

Implemented Functions

The Arianne 6 implementation includes:

• Pan and Tilt
• Smooth movement
• Dimmer
• Shutter / Strobe
• RGBW colour control
• Wash operation
• Individual lens representation
• Pixel control
• Pattern control
• Flower-effect layers
• ScreenPix-style functionality
• Fixture-specific effect functions

The exact controls available depend on the selected DMX personality.

Pixel Control

Arianne 6 contains 19 individually represented RGBW lenses.

Its more detailed personalities allow those sources to participate in individual and grouped effect behaviour rather than operating only as a single global wash.

This makes the fixture suitable for:

• Conventional wash looks
• Multi-colour effects
• Pixel-style programming
• Pattern-based effects
• ScreenPix-style operation
• Dynamic multi-source looks

The exact level of individual control depends on the selected personality.

Pattern & ScreenPix Operation

The more advanced Arianne 6 personalities expose richer pattern and pixel-based behaviour.

Mode 3: Full / ScreenPix is the largest personality and is intended for the most complete effect implementation currently available in TRP.

This allows the 19 represented light sources to participate in more detailed visual programming than the simpler modes.

Flower Effects

The Arianne 6 implementation includes flower-effect layers as part of its advanced effect system.

These operate alongside the fixture’s RGBW lenses, patterns and pixel functionality.

The exact effect behaviour depends on the selected DMX personality.

Fixture Configuration

Interact with the Arianne 6 using an empty hand to open its physical fixture display.

The common TRP fixture interface allows configuration of:

• Theatrical Network
• DMX Universe
• DMX Start Address
• Fixture Mode
• Lamp Mode
• Display Brightness
• Display Enabled / Disabled
• Pan Invert
• Tilt Invert
• Pan / Tilt Reset
• All Reset

Available Lamp Modes are:

• Standard
• Quiet
• Power

The physical display can also represent operational states such as:

RESET

PLEASE WAIT

NO DMX

When the fixture belongs to a Theatrical Network, configuration access respects that network’s membership and permissions.

Custom Gobos

The Arianne 6 does not support TRP’s Custom Gobo Service system.

It does not use a serviceable conventional gobo wheel.

Its advanced effects are instead based around:

• RGBW lenses
• Pixel control
• Patterns
• Flower effects
• ScreenPix-style operation

Focus Tool

The Arianne 6 is compatible with the Focus Tool.

This allows one or multiple Arianne 6 fixtures to be selected and aimed together using TRP’s multi-fixture focusing workflow.

Point Mode

All selected fixtures are aimed towards one selected position in the Minecraft world.

Two-Point Span Mode

Two world positions define a target span.

TRP spatially sorts the selected fixtures and distributes their aim points between those positions.

The Focus Tool also provides:

• Auto Focus
• Auto Zoom
• Output Assist
• Manual Focus
• Manual Zoom
• Manual Intensity

The tool can store up to 32 compatible fixture targets at once.

RoboSpot & FollowMe

The Arianne 6 is not currently compatible with:

• RoboSpot
• FollowMe

These systems are only enabled for explicitly supported fixture models.

The fixture can still be aimed through normal DMX Pan/Tilt control or by using the Focus Tool.

Flight Cases

There is currently no dedicated Arianne 6 flight case implemented in TRP.

Only fixture models with explicitly implemented matching cases can use TRP’s dedicated flight-case storage system.

Rigging & Mounting

The Arianne 6 can be mounted on compatible TRP and recognised rigging structures.

Supported systems include:

• TRP F34 truss
• Theatrical truss
• Theatrical rigging pipes
• Recognised Theatrical Extra Lights structures
• Recognised SEF quad-truss variants

TRP’s F34 system supports appropriate:

• Top mounting
• Bottom mounting
• Side / rail mounting
• Compatible fixture orientations

The Arianne 6 also supports the Truss Mount Tool.

On compatible horizontal F34 side mounts, the physical fixture angle can be adjusted from:

0° → 120°

in:

15° increments

This modifies the physical rigging orientation and is independent from DMX Pan and Tilt.

Known Limitations

• Custom Gobo Service is not supported.
• RoboSpot is not supported.
• FollowMe is not supported.
• No dedicated Arianne 6 flight case is currently available.
• The Full / ScreenPix personality uses a larger DMX footprint than the simpler modes.
• Exact DMX channel-value ranges are not included unless separately validated against the complete personality implementation.
• Large numbers of simultaneously active pixel/effect fixtures may increase rendering and system load.
