Arrangement of LED groups 1-19 (Sparx 12)
The pan/tilt values are set to 0°/-77°; the display shows in the same direction as the LEDs.
The Sparx 12 has a colour wheel emulation channel, main RGBW, pattern RGBW, glow RGBW
and a CTO channel. In order to survey the functions, they are allocated different priorities. The
colour wheel channel has first priority over the main RGBW. You can only work with the RGBW
colour mixtures if the colour wheel channel is set to DMX value 000. The RGBW glow channels
are used to generate basic lighting in the lighting field and to then superimpose this with the
RGBW. The spotlight always mixes the colours using RGB in the optimum combination of RGBW
channels. The white channel can be used to generate pastel colours as soon as the RGB channel
has a DMX value of less than 255.
The CTO channel can be used both in conjunction with the colour wheel emulation channel and
with RGBW colour mixing. It depends on the base colour adjustment in which the spotlight is
operated. -> PERSONALITY -> COLOR TEMP MODE. If a fixed colour temperature value is set,
e.g. 6500K, the spotlight can be set to between 6500K and 2700K using the CTO channel. In the
PERSONALITY -> COLOR TEMP MODE -> VARIABLE, the CTO channel can be used to set the
spotlight to 2000K-20000K. The DMX values of the CT channel x 100 correspond to the colour
value in Kelvin, DMX32 -> CTO 3200K. The CTO always runs on the black body line!
5.1.5 Colour mixing / CTO
The Sparx 12 has the option of generating 2-colour TwinZoom effects. To do this, the effects
macro channel layer 1 must be set to a DMX value of between 1 and 8. Select the settings
according to the segment shutter and colour wheel emulation function (see page 42). In order
to fill the inner area with a colour, the background colour - main must be set. You can set the
colour of the outer ring using the 2nd RGBW colour set - foreground colour - pattern (page 35).
The TwinZoom can be used to obtain fantastic beam effects (use the Zoom, Zoom 2 and Zoom
3 channels for this). To do this, set the zoom mode (see page 40) to zoom mode 1.
