Another important use of the Groups is the starting colour for the pre-programmed colour changes
after power on or reset: To achieve impressive effects - even without using a network or PC software -
the Groups can be used. Seven different starting colours are available:
DIP 6 DIP 7 DIP 8 Group

Note: The colour „indigo“ ,index 5, is not available by design.
Important: All changes of the DIP switches are identified after reset or power on!
Colour Tables - „Cold- and Warm Colours“
Note about the indices of the starting colours: The ChromoFlex modules generate the colours by look-
up tables. These tables can be changed by the PC software „ChromoFlex Editor“. It is simple to
remove i.e. all „cold“colours from the colour maps (or vice versa). Removing unwanted colours is also
possible
(
keyword „corporate colours“).
These effects use the colour tables (2 are available):
Effect 1:
Standard colour change
(table 1)
Effect 2:
Slow (soft) colour change each 30-180 Seconds (table 1)
Effect 3:
Randomly faded colours „Blob“
(table 1)
Effect 4:
User colour change
(default is red-green-blue, table 2)
Effect 5:
Randomly changed colours „LSD“ (
table 1)
Effect 8:
Randomly coloured flashes („Burst“)
(table 1)
Infrared-Remote-Control - Installation
For controlling one or more modules (connected as a network) an infrared control can be used. Only
one single module within a network should be equipped with an infrared receiver. The receiving
module will forward any received commands to the network.
Important: If there is more than one infrared
receiver in use communication problems may
occur. It is only acceptable to use more than one
receiver when the receivers are totally
independent (i.e. if located in different rooms).
Important: In some rare cases other devices
(TV, Video ...) might react to the ChromoFlex
infrared control (or vice versa). In such cases
please separate the optical paths.
