Direct
9
1 - Red
1 - Red
Direct control of each individual color with a
separate master intensity channel. Color
calibration of LEDs is not active in this mode. The
nine-channel profile will produce the highest quality
color cross fades.

5
(Ch. 4 not
used)
1-Red
Effectively addresses all seven colors via three
channels of control. RGB profile will produce
medium quality color cross-fades
2-Green
3-Blue
4 - n/a
5 - Strobe
HSI
5
1 – Hue (coarse)
High resolution hue (two channels), saturation, and
intensity control.
HSI mode will produce color cross-fades around
the color space.
2 – Hue (fine)
3 - Saturation
4 - Intensity
5- Strobe
HSIC
6
1 – Hue (coarse)
High-resolution hue, saturation, and intensity
control as above, with the addition of a color point
channel to adjust the color temperature of the
fixture in both white light and color. Color cross-
fade performance is the same as HSI.
2 – Hue (fine)
3 - Saturation
4 - Intensity
5 - Strobe
6 - Color Point (CCT)
Studio
3
1 – Intensity
Controls fixture as a white light unit. If no DMX is
present, (i.e. console input), a fixture can be
adjusted for these three parameters on the U/I at
the back of the unit.

13 - Blue
14- Indigo
Adds seven additional color control channels to
RGB, HSI, HSIC, and Studio input profile settings.
For example HSI with ‘Plus 7’ enabled becomes an
14-channel profile
The desired color and intensity are achieved by
using the HSI or RGB channels
Placing channel seven at a value over 51% gives
the fixture a 14 channel profile.
Channels 8-14 represent the native colors of the
fixture and allow the operator to adjust individual
color channels to fine tune the color output.
Strobe
Variable strobe control: 0% is no strobe. The fixture output will strobe more rapidly as the
strobe-channel value approaches 100%.
