the mapping channel split the circular patterns from pattern channel to different LED segments.
Is an overall channel for mapping, pattern und pattern speed. The pattern mode controls if a
effect is fade, switch, static or a pixel flash. Also a macro area helps fast programming.
This channel provides 7 increasing, decreasing and random patterns and can controlled by
speed and direction with the pattern speed channel. Without mapping channel, the patterns run
in circular form. The pattern mode as overall controls the kind of running.
This channel generates an indexable and rotable color spread on the foreground color of the
running effect.
This channel offers a unique sparkling effect additional with dimmer and zoom channel. The
beam is splitted to the ground colors of the beam depending on the intensity of the channel va-
lue. That means full colors get in sparkling forms to fade in and fade out effects. A mixed color
is splitted to the ground colors.

The A8 features a color wheel emulation channel, main RGBW, pattern RGBW, glow RGBW
and CTC channel. The color wheel channel has priority. Only if the color wheel channel is set to
DMX value 000-001 it is possible to operate the RGBW channels. The glow RGBW is used for
glow effects and can overlay the other colors. The CTC channel can be combined with both the
RGBW channels and the color wheel channel. If the effect channels 9-13 are in use, the color
wheel channel and main RGBW (depends on priority) go to background color. Pattern RGBW is
foreground color. If priority is on color wheel emulation channel the effects working with the main
RGBW (foreground color).
4.1 Color mixing
The control channel (channel 5) offers additional control over the RGBW-channels.
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 to 5600K. Reduced intensity in blue. Possible reduction in intensi-
ty of green and red. If fixtures are set to this DMX value the white of fixed colors and RGBW color
mixing is the same, it‘s a white similar to HMI white.
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. De-
pending on the modus, the reaction time of the A8 gets lower.
