Color Mixes
The following table shows the color mixes for each fixture type.
HSI (Hue Saturation Intensity) and HSIC (Hue, Saturation, Intensity, Color
Temperature (White Point))
The HSI profile uses 4 channels of DMX input, corresponding to 16-bit hue (two channels: coarse and
fine), saturation, and intensity. The HSI profile makes Desire fixtures compatible with conventional HSI
console profiles while capitalizing on fixtures' expanded color capabilities. Channel 5 is for Strobe,
when enabled. Also see
Color Matching
on
page 21
.
HSIC is similar to HSI, except that it uses an additional 6th channel to control the color temperature of
the white point. White point is the color temperature of the white-light output when saturation is at
zero. The Red Shift function is automatically disabled in the HSIC profile.
RGB
Effectively addresses all 7 colors via three channels of control. The RGB profile produces medium-
quality color cross fades. It makes the Desire fixtures compatible with conventional RGB console
profiles while maintaining enhanced color production from the fixture. Also see

Note:
The HSI profile is optimized for maximum brightness at all settings.
At some settings, small changes in hue and saturation may produce unexpected
jumps in brightness.
Shifts in brightness may be perceived during fades across hue, saturation, or both in
cues and presets.
