Assign each of the
four* channels for
Hue1, Hue2, Saturation,
and
Intensity
. HSL
uses four DMX
channels and counts
as one load in Design
Center
*NOTE: If the HSL load only
has 1 Hue channel do not use
Hue2
. But, remember that the
Hue2
channel number is still
used in the HSL color load creation – this is an unused channel
in the HSL load. The
HSL Load
channels may need to be
reassigned to keep the numbers consecutive to match the
commissioned load list.
o
RGB
o
Assign each of the three colors the appropriate
channel number. RGB uses three DMX channels and
counts as one load in Design Center
o
RGBW
o
Assign each of the four colors the appropriate channel
number. RGBW uses four DMX channels and counts as
one load in Design Center
Confirm the color channels are correct for the color device.
o
Each channel counts as one DMX load.

group
counts as one load in Design
Center and Equinox.

LIVE: Adjusting color values in Design Center – requires
Design Center be connected to the controller and the DDG
station be configured. See color wheel
at right.
Drag the selector in the
Color Selector
wheel to dynamically adjust the color
load value.
Drag the rectangle selector in the
Lightness
bar to increase/decrease the
loads brightness level.
The last values selected in the
Color
Selector
and
Lightness
bar are saved in
the controller until these values are changed again from
any source.
Color changes made from here or from Equinox will
override this change and become the new saved value in
the controller.
Use tasks in Design Center to create permanent preset*
colors.
*
The Equinox lighting widget also allows load
presets to be saved. Saved
Presets
only save
the light level not the preset color values at this
time.
Color Loads and Equinox
The Preset Color Swatch must be scrolled to see all colors.
In the Equinox lighting widget multi color loads may have their
color set in one of three ways:
1)
Preset Color Swatch

, and 3)
R G B Sliders
Color values are not saved as preset colors, however,
color loads will always turn on to the last color used.

widget and are unique for each profile. The color
selected in the previous bullet will be turned on the to
the saved preset (light intensity) level.
