Abstract
A light fixture including a housing, a light source, a framing shutter system, and an electronic processor. The framing shutter system includes a framing shutter gate, a framing shutter blade, and a plurality of framing shutter motors. The electronic processor is connected to the light source and the framing shutter system. The electronic processor is configured to determine a desired orientation of the framing shutter blade, determine whether the desired orientation is within a gamut of the framing shutter blade, determine, in response to the desired orientation being outside of the gamut of the framing shutter blade, an adjusted orientation of the framing shutter blade, the adjusted orientation of the framing shutter blade corresponding to an orientation for the framing shutter blade that is as close as possible to the desired orientation, and control the plurality of framing shutter motors to move the framing shutter blade to the adjusted orientation.
