Genaray Mini Moon RGB

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing Genaray. The Genaray Mini Moon RGB is a portable fixture that provides a natural and soft continuous light source with broad coverage for still and tabletop photography, portraits, and interviews. This light delivers highly accurate color rendering in CCT and RGB modes. An integrated diffuser furnishes a soft wraparound and single-shadow beam.

The Mini Moon RGB operates on either AC or battery power and will accept either NP-F or V-mount batteries. It features dimming from 100% to 0% in 1% increments. This light supports DMX-512, so its settings can be remotely controlled from a DMX console. It has 512 selectable channels and a DMX output jack to daisy-chain other DMX-compatible lights. Remote operation from up to 60 feet away is possible with Genaray's RSF-11-R remote (available separately).

MOUNTING THE MINI MOON RGB

The Mini Moon RGB is equipped with a 2-way 5/8-inch receiver. Mount the fixture on any light stand with a 5/8-inch stud. It can be positioned in an upright or horizontal orientation. Turn the locking knob until the fixture is securely attached.

POWERING THE MINI MOON RGB

AC POWER

Connect the included AC power adapter to the Mini Moon RGB using the 2-pin cable. Plug the power cable into a wall outlet. To turn on the fixture, move the power switch to the AC position (II).

BATTERY POWER

The Mini Moon RGB can be powered by two NP-F batteries or one V-mount battery.

Important: Use only V-mount batteries with a maximum of 14.8 volts per battery. Two NP-F batteries must be attached to the Mini Moon RGB to power the light. When attaching batteries, ensure the power switch is in the off position and the fixture is not plugged into a wall outlet.

INSTRUCTIONS

Installing a V-mount battery

Align the battery with the battery terminals on the plate. Slide the battery onto the plate until it clicks into place. To remove the battery, press the release button to unlock it and slide it off the plate. The V-mount plate is equipped with a D-Tap output for powering accessories.

Installing NP-F Batteries

Align the batteries with the terminals in the battery plates. Place the batteries into the plates and slide them toward the terminals until secure. To turn on the fixture, press the power switch to the DC position (I).

Battery Status

The battery status indicator on the LCD screen displays the remaining battery power:

• 100% to 75%
• 75% to 50%
• 50% to 25%
• 25% to 10% (the light will not operate under 10%)

OPERATING THE MINI MOON RGB

SETTING THE CHANNEL

You can use Genaray's wireless controller (RSF-11-R, available separately) to remotely operate the Mini Moon RGB from up to 60 feet away. Ensure the Mini Moon RGB and the remote are set to the same channel.

1. Press the Channel button. The channel number will blink.
2. While the channel icon is blinking, use the Dim/Channel dial to select a channel from 1 to 99.
3. Press the Channel button again to set the channel. The channel icon will stop blinking.

OPERATING MODES

The Mini Moon RGB has four operating modes:

• CCT Mode: Allows adjustment of color temperature from 2700 to 9999 K.
• RGB Mode: Allows selection of a hue on the color wheel from 1° to 360°.
• DMX Mode: Enables control of the Mini Moon RGB from a DMX console. Onboard controls are disabled in this mode.
• FX Mode: Provides twenty selectable programmed animated effects.

Toggle between CCT and RGB modes by pressing the Mode button.

CCT MODE

The display shows channel, color temperature (K), and brightness (%).

To operate in CCT mode:

• Press the Mode button to select CCT mode.
• Adjust the color temperature from 2700 to 9999 K by turning the Color Temperature dial.
• Adjust the brightness from 0% to 100% by turning the DIM dial.
