The control channel (channel 5) offers additional control over the CW/WW-channels. It is useful
to adjust the white balance when units are being used in rental business and a variety of fixtures
are supposed to offer a even white mixing.
DMX 000-007:
No white balance active.
DMX 008-015: Basic adjustment on the CW/WW channels. So it‘s possible to have always the
same white from different production series (factory adjustment). Marginal reduced intensity of
the CW/WW strings.
DMX 016-023: White balance, reduced intensity in CW/WW. If fixtures are set to this DMX value
the white of white wheel emulation (color 0) and CW/WW mixing is the same.
DMX 024-031: White balance same to DMX 016-023. Plus the CW/WW curves are working in
linear mode so it is possible to use the color picker function of various lighting control desks.
Some lighting desks have a delay during DMX refreshing and DMX values get missed during a
fade out or using the fader. That means the A8 TW with his fast reaction time rate this happen
as a shutter and shows flickering in the beam. To avoid this you can select 5 different modes.
Depending on the modus, the reaction time of the A8 TW gets lower.
3.2 Control channel
The A8 TW features a white wheel emulation channel, main CW/WW, pattern CW/WW, glow CW/
WW and CTC channel. The white wheel channel has priority. Only if the white wheel channel is
set to DMX value 000-001 it is possible to operate the CW/WW channels. The glow CW/WW is
used for glow effects and can overlay the other whites. The CTC channel can be combined with
both the CW/WW channels and the white wheel channel. If the effect channels 9-13 are in use,
the white wheel channel and main CW/WW (depends on priority) go to background color. Pattern
CW/WW is foreground color. If priority is on white wheel emulation channel the effects working
with the main CW/WW (foreground color).
