Chauvet DJ GigBAR Move ILS — 5-in-1 ILS Lighting System

GigBAR Move ILS: 5-in-1 ILS Bar That Runs the Show

Pack-and-play control of the whole ILS ecosystem: GigBAR Move ILS mounts moving heads, derbies, washes, a laser, and strobe on one bar and can command other ILS-enabled fixtures wired or wirelessly via its built-in D-Fi transceiver. Power up, choose your mode, and the system’s pre-mounted effects deliver synchronized looks fast—no loose heads or separate power runs for each effect.

Creative engine on a bar: Separate color and gobo wheels in the moving heads (pan/tilt 540°/180°, 11° beam) make crisp mid-air looks, while the wash pars (RGB+UV, 19° beam / 30° field) handle face and floor with 1,205 lux @ 2 m per par. Built-in UV lifts fluorescents, a red/green laser adds aerial accents (93° coverage), and the strobe hits up to 0–20 Hz. Everything is navigated from a full-color LCD with clear access to settings.

• Real-World Applications & Sound Roles: mobile DJ weddings and socials; school dances and pep rallies; bars and lounges; compact stages that need moving heads + wash + laser from a single rig; rental kits that must set up fast and stay consistent night to night.

Where This System Excels

• One-Bar, Five-Effect Coverage: Moving heads, derbies, washes, laser, and strobe are pre-mounted—streamlined cabling and fewer points of failure.
• ILS Show Leadership: Acts as a control hub for other ILS fixtures through the integrated D-Fi transceiver—coordinate the room without extra wires.
• Dance-Floor Targeting: A dedicated mode confines head movement to the action zone, keeping beams where the crowd actually is.
• Menu You Can Read: Full-color LCD makes mode changes, addressing, and tweaks quick during load-in or mid-show.
• Mobile-Ready Kit: System ships with a tripod, RF remote, wireless footswitch, and carry bag for rapid load-ins and repeatable setups.
• Power-Smart Linking: Daisy-chain power within spec (7 @ 120 V; 12 @ 230 V) to keep the stage tidy.

Control Modes

• Stand-Alone: Run built-in programs (auto or sound-active) directly from the full-color LCD—adjust speed, sensitivity, dimmer, strobe, and effect combinations.
• DMX: 3-pin XLR with 3 / 27 / 46 channel personalities for everything from quick shows to detailed programming. Pan/tilt range 540°/180°, separate moving-head color and gobo wheels, individual effect control per section.
• ILS via Built-in D-Fi: Use the onboard transceiver to control other ILS fixtures wirelessly or by wire for synchronized, multi-fixture shows across the room.
• RF Remote (included): Trigger built-in shows and functions without line-of-sight—ideal for quick scene calls during events.
• Wireless Footswitch (included): Hands-free control of Auto/Sound/static color and Blackout; long-range operation (433 MHz, up to 100 ft / 30.5 m).
• Mounting & Focus Aids: Truss/ceiling installs via 3/8 in threaded inserts; a dedicated mode keeps heads aimed at the floor crowd for consistent results.

Optics, Sources & Output by Effect

Moving heads: (1) cool-white 10 W LED per head; 11° beam; separate 7 + white color wheel and 7 + open gobo wheel with continuous scroll (variable speed); pan/tilt 540°/180°; illuminance 1,056 lux @ 2 m (per head).

Wash pars: (3) quad-color RGB+UV LEDs per par at 3.5 W each; 19° beam / 30° field; illuminance 1,205 lux @ 2 m (per par).

Derby effects: (6) LEDs per derby (2 red, 2 green, 2 blue) with a wide 131° coverage angle.

Laser: Red/green laser diodes (650 nm / 100 mW red, 532 nm / 30 mW green) with 93° coverage.

Strobe: (4) LEDs (white & UV) at 5 W each; 0–20 Hz rate; 86 lux @ 2 m (per LED).

Lifespan (all LEDs): Rated 50,000 hours.

DMX Personalities & Addressing Strategy

DMX channels: 3 / 27 / 46 via 3-pin XLR. Use 3-channel for quick show control, 27-channel for expanded access to effects, and 46-channel for granular programming of moving heads, pars, derby, laser, and strobe.

Trait highlights: Independent control of each effect (moving heads with separate color/gobo wheels; RGB+UV par mixing; derby, laser, and strobe parameters) and speed/sensitivity/strobe behaviors exposed in higher personalities. Select modes and addresses from the full-color LCD.

ILS Leadership & Wireless Control Suite

ILS control hub: GigBAR Move ILS can control any ILS-enabled fixture wired or wirelessly using its built-in D-Fi transceiver, coordinating advanced, synchronized shows across mixed fixture types.

Included controllers: RF remote (no line-of-sight required) for triggering built-in shows; wireless footswitch for hands-free operation. Footswitch operates at 433 MHz with a max unobstructed distance of 100 ft (30.5 m) and uses a 9 V alkaline battery.

DMX alternative: When you need timeline precision, switch to DMX while keeping ILS compatibility available for other shows.

Onboard UI, Motion & Mounting Aids

Full-color LCD navigation: Direct access to stand-alone, DMX, and wireless settings without external tools.

Motion toolkit: Pan/tilt 540°/180° on moving heads; Totem Mode keeps beams focused on the dance floor to avoid audience blinding.

Install points: Safely mounts to truss or ceilings via 3/8 in threaded inserts; also ships with a tripod for mobile use.

Effect isolation: Individual control of each onboard effect lets you refine looks for different scenes and venues.

How to Deploy the GigBAR Move ILS

• Power & placement: Connect to 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz (auto-ranging). Typical draw is 81 W / 1.1 A @ 120 V (79 W / 0.6 A @ 230 V). Maintain ventilation and keep within the rated ambient range.
• Tripod setup (included): Mount to the stand (fits 1.5 in / 37.4 mm), raise to 4.8–8.3 ft, and allow ~3.9 ft tripod leg width for stability.
• Truss/ceiling: Use the 3/8 in threaded inserts to secure the bar; add appropriate clamps and a safety cable.
• Wireless linking: As an ILS hub, configure the bar’s D-Fi to coordinate other ILS fixtures (wired or wireless). Pair the RF remote and wireless footswitch as needed.
• DMX control: Use 3-pin XLR. Choose 3 / 27 / 46 channels based on show complexity. Address from the full-color LCD.
• Power daisy-chain: Within limits, link up to 7 units @ 120 V or 12 @ 230 V to simplify cabling.
• Focus & safety: Enable Totem Mode to keep head movement on the dance floor. Observe laser safety and general operating cautions.
