Operation 29
Configuration
Use an RDM configuration tool to configure the Desire XTI Series fixtures. After you configure the
fixtures and disconnect Gadget or a DMX/RDM gateway, you may control the fixtures with a DMX or
RDM lighting control device.
For detailed information about LED Config software, refer to the
LED Configuration Software
Programming Guide
.
DMX Address
Assign a DMX address to one or more devices. The DMX address is 1 to 510.
Data Loss
Select the type of data loss. Data Loss is what happens to the fixture's output when the external control
signal (either DMX or data from the Master fixture in a Master/Slave configuration) is lost. The choices
are as follows:
Instant
As soon as the control signal is lost, the fixture shuts off output and the LED array goes black.
HLL-2Min
Hold last look for 2 minutes. The fixture retains its last setting for 2 minutes after the control
signal is lost, after which it shuts off output.
Cycling power to the fixture before the 2 minutes have passed will clear the last look and the
LEDs will remain off until control signal is restored.
HLL-4ever
Hold last look forever. After data is lost, the fixture maintains its last look until power is removed
from the fixture or control signal is restored. The last look will not be restored after power has
been cycled.
Plus 7 (Vivid, Lustr+, Fire, Ice, and Studio HD)
Plus 7 adds precision color-control override channels to the HSI, HSIC, RGB, and Studio profiles. When
in one of the above profiles, enabling Plus 7 adds an additional seven channels to the profile(i.e. a
D40XTI fixture in HSI with Plus 7 becomes a 14-channel profile.) To enable Plus 7, place the Plus 7
Control channel at a value above 51%.
When using Plus 7, the desired color and intensity is selected by using the HSI or RGB channels as a
starting point. From there, the additional seven channels represent an individual control channel for
each of the native LED colors of the fixture and allow you to adjust each LED color up or down to fine-
tune the overall color output.
The first additional channel is an activation channel for the Plus Seven function. A value of 0 to 50%
(DMX 0 to 128) deactivates Plus 7. A value of 51 to 100% (DMX 129 to 255) activates Plus 7. The
remaining 7 additional channels correspond to the individual colors within the fixture's LED array.
