Calibration
Recommended Calibration Scenario
:
•
Get a group of ~10 fixtures close enough together to compare them and set to individual DMX addresses
so they can be turned off and on independently from the DMX source.
•
Change the fixtures’ Control mode to Basic -> RGBW -> 8bit 4-channel mode for ease of control. Select
one fixture as the benchmark – if there are visible differences in brightness, select one that is medium
brightness.
•
Enter calibration menu for all fixtures. Reset calibration values to +/- 0% and PURE color. Using a lux
meter from distance of ~5-10m measure individual color (R, G, B, and W) brightness of benchmark fixture.
Go through the rest of fixtures (one fixture and single color at a time) to match individual color brightness.
•
After intensity matching has been done, turn on all fixtures to a desire mixed color and adjust color hue if
necessary so all fixtures look alike. Color hue changes will likely be done using green and white colors
(red
and blue tend to be similar).
•
After color hue has been matched, do a color intensity calibration again as changing color hue changes
intensity as well. This must be done only for fixtures that had color hue changed. Test units by mixing
different colors. They should look alike.
•
Save calibration values – Keep the benchmark unit and swap out all calibrated units for the next group of
un-calibrated units and repeat.
Visual calibration without a lux meter – Another method is to put white paper in front of the fixture and try
matching visually. This isn’t as effective as measuring individual color output in lux however. Follow the same
procedure as above.
Appendix
RDM Functionality
Flare RDM, Flare Jr, Flare Q+, Flare Q+ LR and Flare Q+ Rayzr are equipped with RDM Functionality. Below
are the RDM functions available in these devices. TMB has many options for RDM control of your devices:
ProPlex RDMigo and IQ RDM Manager Software; ProPlex Striker; and ProPlex MasterFade. Additionally,
ProPlex RDM Opto-Splitters and the ProPlex IQ product range offer many means of RDM over DMX data
distribution.
