DL.2 User Manual v

Symbols

The following international caution and warning symbols appear in margins throughout this manual to

highlight messages.

Fog Machine Warning

Like all high quality video projection units, the DL.2 fixture must be kept protected from excessive amounts of

glycol fog, mineral oil, and smoke. The DL.2 fixture incorporates two-stage air filtering to reduce these risks to

a minimum; however, the user must follow these guidelines to ensure continued operation of the fixture:

• Air filters (both fixture and projector) should be checked and cleaned on a regular basis. When used in

a closed or fixed environment where fog or haze is used, we recommend at least a weekly check.

• Do not situate DL.2 fixtures in areas of high fog density such as directly in front of a fog machine or

mineral oil hazer.

• Minimize the exposure of DL.2 fixtures to both glycol fog and mineral oil.

The DL.2 fixture is a highly complex and sensitive electro-optical device and care and thought in how it is

used, rigged, and positioned will maximize the product’s life and your investment.

Failure to follow these guidelines and carry out regular maintenance will void the warranty.

What You Should Know About Copyright

The following FAQ can help you understand copyright laws and how they apply to content used

with the DL.2 fixture

By Suzy Vaughan Associates for High End Systems.

I want to use a film clip from “When Harry Met Sally” in a promotional piece advertising my

services. What do I have to do to be able to do that?

First of all, you need to obtain permission to use the clip from its owners. The clip is considered intellectual

property, just as though it were your car or some software code developed by and belonging to Microsoft. This

is because the U.S. Copyright Act gave creators of literary works (which include books, films, television

programs, art works, still photos and musical compositions and recordings) the right to sell or license these

works and to make money from them for the period of the copyright.

But what about public domain material? I heard that lots of material is in the public domain and

can be used for free.

Once the copyright runs out, the creative work falls into the public domain and can be used freely by anyone

without payment or licensing. If the work is not public domain, it is considered literary property. The

infringement to $250,000 for willful infringement. However, contrary to popular belief, there really is not that

much material in the public domain so this approach will limit you creatively.

What if I want to use a clip in a public performance? It's not being filmed or taped. Surely I don't

need permission for that?

Public gatherings require clearance whenever copyrighted data is projected to audiences, or for any use other

than just personal viewing. Concerts, trade shows, industrial shows, parties and raves are all examples of

public performance and permission must be obtained.

Suppose I want to use a still photo or a magazine cover or a television clip? Do I have to obtain

permission for them too?

Yes, they are also copyrighted works, whose owners must grant a license for their usage.

Do I need any other permissions to use this material?

In many cases you do. You may need to obtain permission to use the appearance of actors who appear in the

clip as well as pay the writers and directors of the film that your clip comes from.

What about music? I hear you can use 8 bars for free.

8 bars for free is a fallacy that has been passed around as a fact for a long period of time. However, it isn't

true. Both musical compositions and records require licensing and payment.

What about High End Systems material included with the DL.2 fixture? Do I have to clear that?

No. High End Systems has worked to provide clearance for the content that is provided with the DL.2 fixture.

Any materials you received directly from HES with the purchase of a new DL.2 fixture have already been

properly licensed for your use in shows and presentations. That does not, however, license you to sell this

content separately from DL.2 fixture. Also, please be sure that any new content you obtain from outside

sources is properly cleared for public presentation.

This sounds really difficult and I don't know how to do it? What do I do to properly license

copyrighted material?

You need to consult with a Content Clearing House or with a properly licensed Intellectual Property Attorney.

Content clearinghouses are typically less expensive to work with and have well established industry relations

that can result in cost savings. High End Systems uses and highly recommends Suzy Vaughan Associates.

Suzy Vaughan Associates has 20 years of experience in clearing clips, talent, and music for use in any number

of venues. Their clients include Barbara Streisand, Michael Jackson, and The Emmys among other shows.

viii DL.2 User Manual

You can obtain more information about Suzy Vaughan Associates' services by calling 818-988-5599 or

emailing [email protected]. Their website is www.suzyvaughan.com. Suzy Vaughan is also an attorney

specializing in intellectual property issues.

How much does it typically cost to license copyrighted material?

The answer depends entirely on what material you want to use and how you plan to use it. Prices can range

from hundreds of dollars for photography content to thousands of dollars for a highly desirable film/video clip.

Since price is content-sensitive, the best thing to do is to contact a clearinghouse like Suzy Vaughan

Associates and let them find out for you.
