Introduction
Thank you for buying a Outsight Creamsource luminaire. This xture is engineered
and manufactured to high standards and will give you years of reliable service.
Please take the time to read this manual before using your Creamsource. This will
give you a good understanding of the full functionality of the Creamsource and its
capabilities
Understanding Part Numbering
The compliance plate located on the bottom of the creamsource identies the specic
model, including colour temperature and lens type. See example part number below
for explanation of how to interpret part numbers:
KWhen supplied as a kit with matching power supply and cables,
there is a ‘K’ in front of the part number. The part number for the
lamp head is the same, only without the ‘K’

Creamsource ‘+’ Range
The Creamsource Mini+ and Doppio+ branded products have the high CRI LEDs t-
ted, and feature superior colour rendering. They can be identied by a ‘+’ on the back
of the unit, and the part number will have a hardware revision of ‘2’.

Plugging In and Turning On
The Creamsource should only be used with the supplied power sup-
ply. The input is auto-ranging from 90-250V AC, 50/60Hz so can
be used world wide.
Connect the power cable with the power turned o on the power
supply to extend the life of the connectors. The Creamsource
remembers its last brightness setting, and also if the light was turned
on or o. It also remembers the last MODE it was used in.
Up to 15m (50ft) of extension cable can be run between the power supply and the head.
To prevent overheating, care must be taken not to block cooling slots on the power supply. It is
not advisable to stack power supplies on top of one another.
The unit can also be run o 24V - 32V battery packs, providing they have the required current
capability. See page 14 for more information on running with batteries.
If the external exible cable of this luminaire is damaged, it must be replaced by
an original cable from the manufacturer or service agent.
Turning O
The power should be switched o on the power supply before unplugging the cable. There are
no other special procedures for powering down - it can be done at any time without harm to the
unit.
Temperature
As the Creamsource is a high power device, it will get hot during normal operation, and care
must be taken when touching the unit.
The maximum surface temperature of the lamp head will be 60 deg C, when operated in ambi-
ent temperature of 25 deg C
Maximum ambient temperature for normal operation is 40 deg C.

Rigging and Safety
The recommended rigging position of the Creamsource is with the cooling ns in a vertical
orientation, as this allows for the best natural cooling of the unit. It can be mounted in other
positions; however care must be taken not to smother the cooling ns on the back of the unit.
It is advisable to keep a 10cm clearance around the unit to maintain airow.
The yoke arm accepts a 5/8 inch spigot, so is compatible with a large range of stands and other
rigging equipment. With the supplied spigot, the unit is suitable for oor stand mounting only.
If the unit is to be mounted suspended, it is necessary to replace the standard
spigot with a 28mm DIN or Euro spigot (For example Doughty T74705)
If rigging the unit above people, from vehicles, moving platforms, or hanging from any rigging,
be sure to secure the unit through the safety-cable holes located at each end of the Creamsource
using approved and correctly rated safety cables, chains or carabiners. Both safety chain holes
should be used.
For a Creamsource Doppio, use appropriate
safety cable for 10kg load
For a Creamsource Mini, use appropriate safety
cable for 6kg load
Rigging Power Supply
The CS-PSU-450 power supply unit has two 3/8” threaded
inserts on its base for rigging purposes. These can be used to
secure the unit to a stand or other structure.
Do no use bolts which protrude more than 25mm
(1 inch) into the power supply housing

Quick Release Yoke
The yoke can be quickly removed without the use of any tools. Simply ip the levers on each
side of the yoke to the UP position, and slide the yoke up and o the unit.
Lift levers to UP position
Slide yoke up and o unit
Lock yoke in place by pressing levers to DOWN position
Adjusting Quick Release Yoke
To adjust the grip of the locking levers, use a 4mm hex tool (sup-
plied) to adjust the screw when the lockers are in the DOWN posi-
tion. They should be adjusted so the lever requires rm pressure to
lock and unlock.
Yoke Safety Screws
If using the Creamsource in a xed installation for extended periods of time, please
tighten the SAFETY SCREWS for additional protection. There are two of these
screws on each side of the yoke.

Controls
The control wheel adjusts the intensity or colour temperature of the light output. It is speed
sensitive, so it can be turned slowly for ne adjustments, or quickly for rapid changes.
It also is used to change other settings such as strobe frequency or dual ash level when using
these modes.
Normal Operation
Under normal operation the buttons have dedicated functions:
MENU - press to display menu
NEXT - press to select next setting to adjust (then use wheel to change)
ON/OFF - press to turn light on and o
FLASH - ashes light on or o when held down
Menu System
When in the menu, the buttons have the following functions:
Back - press to go back a menu level. Hold to return to main screen
Up - press to scroll up, or increase setting value. Hold to scroll quickly
Select - press to accept current menu item or setting
Down - press to scroll down, or decrease setting value. Hold to scroll quickly
Changing Colour Temperature
The colour can be changed by pressing the NEXT button until the COLOUR heading is dis-
played. The wheel can then be used to smoothly change through the available colour tempera-
ture range. The display indicates approximate colour temperature, in Kelvin.
There are two modes for colour mixing:
Normal - As the colour mix is altered, brightness remains constant
Boost Brightness - Allows for maximum brightness, however output level will not
remain constant when changing colour mix
Boost Brightness mode can be enabled by selecting it in the Main Menu screen.

LCD Display and Menu
General Info Display
This is the normal display mode of the Creamsource. The current intensity level is displayed,
along with additional information in the status area at the top of the screen:
• When a DMX signal is detected, the text “DMX” appears
• When the rotary wheel is locked, a lock iconis shown
• The current input voltage is always displayed in upper right (except in BENDER
models, where the colour temperature is displayed)
• When an external sync signal is present, the framerate is displayed upper right
• When External Triggering mode is enabled, ‘EXT’ is displayed in upper right
When using special modes such as Strobe and Random, the
display will change to show the selected setting when the
NEXT button is pressed.
When the light output is turned o, the display changes to
negative mode (white text on black background).
Low Battery Warning
If the input voltages falls to a level that will cause the
light output to drop, a ashing battery icon is displayed
at the bottom of the screen. The unit can still be operated
- however you may not be getting 100% brightness, and
may also damage the batteries.

How to Use the Menu
This display is shown when in the menu system, allowing the user to change settings. The
status area now shows the current menu level, or setting to be changed.

select setting to change.
Use and to adjust value up and down. Press to go
back a level.
High Speed
When using the Creamsource at 100%, it is icker free to over 10,000fps. However
when dimming, or when using a Bender which is not set to Maximum Output, icker
can become noticeable at speeds over 700fps.
There is dedicated High Speed mode on all Daylight and Tungsten units (not the
Bender) which allows for icker free at up to 2,000fps when dimming the unit. This
can be enabled by selecting: MENU->Advanced->High Speed
When in High Speed mode the dimming will not be as smooth, or as ac-
curate. For smooth accurate dimming please disable High Speed mode.
Description of Modes
Dierent lighting modes and eects such as Strobe and Timed Flash are available under
MENU->MODES.
Use the NEXT button to switch between
settings for adjustment, and then the wheel
to change that setting. Each time NEXT is
pressed, the next setting is selected
The ON/OFF and FLASH buttons can also
be used as normal to switch the eect on/
o or to create ‘bursts’.
