T.5 Profile

The ROBE T.5 Profile is a compact moving profile fixture implemented in Theatrical: Realistic Pack (TRP).

Its TRP implementation combines advanced colour control with a serviceable rotating gobo wheel, projected optics, focus, zoom, frost, prism and effect functionality, framing and iris-related controls, smooth movement, dimmer and shutter/strobe operation.

The T.5 Profile supports both the Focus Tool and Custom Gobo Service system, but is not currently compatible with RoboSpot or FollowMe.

The T.5 Profile is designed in TRP as a detailed profile fixture with a strong focus on colour, projected optics and precise beam control.

DMX Modes

The T.5 Profile currently includes the following TRP personalities:

ModeChannels
Theatrical7
Theatrical Gobos10
Mode 149
Mode 233
Mode 3: RGBAL53

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

Mode 3: RGBAL provides the largest personality currently implemented for the T.5 Profile and exposes its extended colour system.

The compact Theatrical and Theatrical Gobos personalities provide simpler control options when the full fixture personality is not required.

For example, a T.5 Profile using Mode 3: RGBAL at Address 1 occupies:

Channels 1–53

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

Implemented Functions

The T.5 Profile implementation includes:

  • Pan and Tilt
  • Smooth movement
  • Dimmer
  • Shutter / Strobe
  • Colour control
  • RGBAL colour functionality
  • Rotating Gobos
  • Gobo projection
  • Gobo indexing
  • Gobo rotation
  • Gobo effects
  • Focus
  • Zoom
  • Frost
  • Prism
  • Prism / effect functionality
  • Framing-related controls
  • Iris-related controls
  • Fixture-specific effect functions

The exact controls available depend on the selected personality.

Fixture Configuration

Interact with the T.5 Profile 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 T.5 Profile supports TRP’s Custom Gobo Service system.

Its serviceable gobo inventory contains:

  • 7 Rotating Gobo slots

Unlike fixtures with separate static and rotating serviceable wheels, the T.5 Profile currently exposes a single serviceable rotating-gobo wheel.

Use the Gobo Service Screwdriver on the fixture to open its wheel-management interface.

From here, compatible gobo positions can be inspected, replaced or cleared.

Factory Gobos

Factory gobo items can only be installed when the selected wheel supports that artwork as part of its defined factory texture library.

Custom Gobos

Player-created engraved Custom Gobos can be installed in compatible serviceable positions without being restricted to the fixture’s original factory artwork.

Removing an installed gobo returns its item to the player.

Configured wheel contents are stored persistently with the fixture.

Focus Tool

The T.5 Profile is compatible with the Focus Tool.

This allows one or multiple T.5 Profile 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 evenly 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 T.5 Profile is not currently compatible with:

  • RoboSpot
  • FollowMe

These systems are only enabled for explicitly supported fixture models.

The T.5 Profile can still be aimed using its normal DMX movement controls or the Focus Tool.

Flight Cases

There is currently no dedicated T.5 Profile flight case implemented in TRP.

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

Rigging & Mounting

The T.5 Profile 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 T.5 Profile 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

  • RoboSpot is not supported.
  • FollowMe is not supported.
  • No dedicated T.5 Profile flight case is currently available.
  • The Custom Gobo Service system currently exposes 7 rotating positions.
  • Factory gobos remain restricted to compatible wheel libraries.
  • Exact DMX channel-value ranges are not included unless separately validated against the complete personality implementation.
