Pattern RGBW
The A8 features a colour wheel channel, RGBW colour mixing channels and a CTC channel. The
colour wheel channel has priority. Only if the colour wheel channel is set to DMX value 000-001 it
is possible to operate the RGBW channels. (In Extended mode E8 at DMX value 001 all LED rings
are adapted to the color of the inner ring (A)). The CTC channel can be combined with both the
RGBW channels and the color wheel channel. The pattern channel (channel 9) provides patterns
with the LED rings. Choose one color of the color wheel channel and one color with RGBW color
mixing. The patterns will work between this two colors.
3.1 Color mixing
The control channel (channel 5) offers additional control over the RGBW-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 colour mixing.
DMX 000-007: No white balance active.
DMX 008-015: Basic adjustment on the RGBW channels. So it‘s possible to have always the
same white from different production series (factory adjustment). Marginal reduced intensity of
the RGBW strings.
DMX 016-023: White balance, reduced intensity in blue, possible reduction in intensity of green
and red. If fixtures are set to this DMX value the white of color wheel emulation (color 0) and RGB
color mixing is the same.
DMX 024-031: White balance same to DMX 016-023. Plus the RGBW curves are working in line-
ar 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 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. Depen-
ding on the modus, the reaction time of the A8 gets lower.
