DMX Mode Options
This section covers the available DMX mapping options and their control.
RGBW 16 Bit Direct Mode (15 Channels)
RGBW 16 Bit Direct Mode allows for the direct control of both coarse and fine (high and low byte) of color
and the master intensity channels, as well as zoom, preset, strobe, control, and fan channels. RGBW 16
Bit Direct Mode will produce the highest quality color crossfades and LED control. For the DMX map, see
"RGBW 16 Bit Direct Mode Map" on page 24
.
RGBW 8 Bit Direct Mode (10 Channels)
RGBW 8 Bit Direct Mode allows for the direct control of each individual color with a separate master
intensity channel. RGBW 8 Bit Direct Mode will produce the good quality color crossfades and LED control.
For the DMX map, see
"RGBW 8 Bit Direct Mode Map" on page 27
.
HSIC Mode (10 Channels)
HSIC mode allows for the high resolution control of hue with a single channel control of intensity,
saturation, and CCT. 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 luminaire.
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.
Figure 23
is an example of hue 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 10000K.
