Options for managing color in different fixtures
The different fixture types in the Exterior 400 Range use different LEDs, and it is normal that
these have different color gamuts. The
Color Gamut setting lets you take this into account and set the
fixture to either Exterior 400 Range or Fixture :
• The Exterior 400 Range setting sets all Exterior 400 Range fixture types to display colors within the
same color gamut (i.e. within the same color saturation limits). The Exterior 400 Range setting ensures
that the same colors can be obtained from different fixture types, but it limits color saturation if necessary.
• The Fixture setting optimizes color saturation for one specific fixture type. Color is identical with other
fixtures of the same type, but there may be slight color differences when you try to display the same color
close to or at its maximum saturation on different fixture types.
The only exception to this is the Exterior 430, in which the Fixture setting is uncalibrated and there may
be very slight differences in color with other Exterior 430 fixtures of the same type: For example, two
Exterior 430 red fixtures set to
Fixture may not display exactly the same red. To obtain an identical red,
set both fixtures to Exterior 400 Range .
Note that the Color Gamut setting only affects fixtures when they are set to a DMX mode that is calibrated
(see " DMX Mode" on page 19) and has no effect on fixtures that are set to RAW DMX modes.
A simple formula to obtain the best results:
• Use the Exterior 400 Range setting where color evenness across different fixture types (or, in the
case of the Exterior 430, across different fixtures) is more important than obtaining maximum
color saturation.
• Use the Fixture setting where the installation only consists of one fixture type or where obtaining
maximum color saturation is more important than color evenness across different fixture types.
