Menu shortcuts
Pressing and holding the MENU button for two seconds opens a small
Shortcuts menu with two items:
•
RESET ALL carries out a complete reset of the fixture with all its effects.
•
ROTATE DISPLAY rotates the control panel display through 180°. This
function makes it easier to read the control panel menus when changing
from standing to hanging installation.
DMX address setting
The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used
to receive instructions from a DMX controller. The fixture uses 14 DMX
channels. This means that if you have a group of fixtures and you set the
first fixture
’s DMX address to 1, then DMX address 15 is available for the
next fixture, DMX address 29 for the fixture after that, and so on.
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control
channels. You can give the same DMX address to two fixtures of the same
type if you want them to behave identically. Giving the same DMX address
to multiple fixtures can be useful for grouped control and troubleshooting.
To set the fixture’s DMX address:
1. In the fixture’s control panel, u se the UP and DOWN buttons to select
DMX ADDRESS and press ENTER. The fixture’s currently set DMX
address will blink in the display.
2. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select a new address.
3. Once the new address has been selected, press ENTER to confirm it (or
press MENU to exit without making a change).
Raw, extended and calibrated modes
In raw mode, all LEDs operate at full intensity and CTC (color temperature
correction) functionality is disabled. The color output of one fixture may or
may not closely match that of other fixtures, depending on LED binning.
In extended mode, mixed white is calibrated, giving perfect white matching
across multiple fixtures, but primary and secondary colors are not calibrated,
which allows maximum color saturation. The closer you move towards white,
the more closely multiple fixtures will match each other’s output. The further
you move away from white and the closer you move towards saturated color,
the less closely multiple fixtures will match each other’s output.
In calibrated mode, white and color are fully calibrated. This means that the
output of multiple fixtures will match with no visible differences. On the other
hand, color saturation will be slightly less heavy.
