TOUR Notes
These notes intent to clarify the way the TOUR DMX personality works.
Master Dimmer
•
Channel 1 controls the intensity of the currently projected color.
•
When the slider is at the highest position ( 255 ) the intensity of the output is at its
maximum.
Red, Green, & Blue
Color Selection
•
Channels 2, 3, and 4 control the intensity ratio of each of the Red, Green, and Blue,
LEDs.
•
When the slider is at the highest position ( 255 ), the intensity of each color is at its
maximum if SETTINGS > COLOR is OFF .
•
You can combine channels 2, 3, and 4 to create over 16 million colors.
Color Macros
•
Channel 5 selects the required color macro.
•
Channel 5 has priority over channels 2, 3, and 4.
•
Channel 1 controls the intensity of the color macro.
Strobe
•
Channel 6 controls the strobe frequency (not the intensity) of channels 2~5.
•
Channel 6 strobes channels 2, 3, and 4 when not running macros, allowing the
individual faders (R, G, and B) as well as channel 1 (D) to control the output
intensity.
•
Channel 6 strobes channel 5 when running macros, allowing channel 5 to select the
macro and channel 1 to control the output intensity.
Auto
•
Channel 7 selects the fans speed, the preset auto programs AUTO 01~10 , or the
custom programs CUSTOM 01~10 .
•
When activating the custom programs CUSTOM 01~10 , it is possible to control the
Step Time and Fade Time functions using channels 2 and 3 respectively.
•
Channel 7 has priority over channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 when running auto
programs.
•
Channel 8 determines the speed at which the auto programs run.
Dimmer Speed
•
Channel 9 selects the dimmer mode and speed. When DIMMER is set to OFF, R,
G, B, and Master Dimmer are linear. Otherwise, DIM1 is the fastest dimmer curve,
while DIM4 is the slowest.
Block
•
Channel 10 controls the Block function.
•
Each tri-color LED is a “block”.
•
Each of the eight blocks has a red, green, and blue LED.
•
The Block function only selects which blocks are active, not their light output.
•
When using blocks, channel 1 controls the general intensity, while channels 2, 3,
and 4 control the individual color (RGB) intensity.
•
The RGB settings apply to all active blocks simultaneously.
•
For individual RGB control for each block, select the PIXEL personality.
