In 16 bit mode, the multiplier is 65535;
x value: 0.4254 x
65535
= 27878 (42%)
y value: 0.4044 x

= 26502 (40%)
If the Color Temperature channel is enabled, the color temperature channel will “take
over” color control from the color channels. Generating white light in the Kelvin value
specified by the Color Temperature channel. To transition from a specific color
temperature to a specific color, use the x,y values for color temperatures found in the
Appendix.

RGB
RGB mode allows for familiar Red, Green and Blue control channels. With all channels
full, white light will be produced. Unless changed in advanced settings or the color
temperature channel is set to remote, the default white point is 3200K. With all channels
at 0 no light will be produced regardless of the intensity channel’s state.
To translate from CMY values a general rule of thumb is to invert the values. ie:
Cyan = Red @ 0, Green @ Full, Blue @ Full
Magenta = Red @ Full, Green @ 0, Blue @ Full
Yellow = Red @ Full, Green @ Full, Blue @ 0
While not completely accurate, because of subtractive filter technology, this will help get
RevEAL instruments to a color near CMY based fixtures.

Hue + Sat
Hue + Saturation mode is easiest to think of as common color pickers on photo editing
software, commonly abbreviated to HSI or HSL. The Hue channel defines an angle on
