8. Direct Color
The Versa DRIVE C1 offers a unique feature called "Direct Color."
Using DMX channels, over 16 million solid colors can be mixed and output by the C1. In addition, these colors
can be added to or subtracted from any of the patterns, in effect, colorizing the output.
DMX CH FUNCTION

Direct Color Mode (0%-25% is additive, 26%-75% undefined, 76%-100% is subtractive)

Direct Color Red

Direct Color Green

Direct Color Blue
The Direct Color function has two modes: additive and subtractive.
In the additive mode, the Direct Color values for are added to the color values in the pattern.
In the subtractive mode, the Direct Color values for are subtracted from the color values in the pattern.
There are three main uses for this function:
1.
When used with Pattern 0 (Black) in the additive mode, then it is possible to create any solid color on
the entire system of tiles or tubes.
Likewise, it can be used in subtractive mode with a user-defined all white pattern to achieve the same
effect.
2.
When used with a pattern, it will colorize the original video clip.
For example, the original pattern is white text scrolling across a black background. Using the subtractive
mode to remove the blue and green, the final output would be red text scrolling on a black
background. Alternately, in additive mode, adding red would create white text scrolling accross a black
background.
3.
This function can also be used to fade a pattern in or out, to either black or white.
9. Link (Master / Slave)
The C1 has a Master and Slave mode allowing multiple C1s to be controlled by one master. To link C1s together
use the DMX output. Attach the DMX Output to the DMX input of the next unit. XX units can be chained
together. Front panel and DMX information is transmitted through a system of C1’s.
9.1 Link Off
When link is set to off NO DMX will be sent by the C1. The C1 acts as a stand-alone unit.
9.2 Master Mode
When the C1 is in Master Mode all of the front panel selection will be duplicated on all Slave C1’s. Incoming DMX
data will also be resent to all slave C1’s
A dot will appear after the first chacter to indicate that the unit is in master mode.
