HSIC Mode
HSIC (Hue, Saturation, Intensity, Color Point) mode allows for the high resolution control of hue with a single
channel control of intensity, saturation, and CCT (Correlated color temperature). HSIC mode will produce color
fades around a color space with a variable CCT channel in the center to adjust the color temperature of the lu-
minaire. In this mode we define hue as color and saturation as the amount of color. Adding CCT to this allows
for a value or white point to be added into the mix.
The figure to the right is an example the HSIC
color concept where red is 0% DMX and as DMX
values increase they move clockwise through the
example color wheel ending at red (again) at 100%
(DMX value of 255).

As Saturation is added, the movement of the color
moves from the center of the wheel to the outside,
thus adding or removing white. The CCT channel
sets the white point in the center of the wheel -
the lower the DMX value, the lower the CCT value
becomes. The CCT range is from 2700K to 6500K.
