Installation and DMX Profiles 22
Studio
The fixture produces only white-type light, which is adjustable from 2700 to 6500K. The
Studio profile uses 3 DMX channels to control Intensity, white point, and tint, (the
green/magenta balance). Tint is adjustable without affecting the white point.
Studio is the default mode for Studio HD fixtures. The Studio profile is also available on all
other Desire Series fixtures. For more information, see Color Matching, page 23 .
Strobe
In most profiles (Vivid, Lustr+, Fire, Ice, and Studio HD), strobe is assigned to channel 5. It
adds another channel to any of the DMX profiles. Under the Advanced Settings menu, the
strobe function may be disabled and the additional channel for strobe will not be used by
the fixture. With strobe at either DMX value 0 or 255, the fixture output is constantly on. At
DMX 1, the fixture strobes slowly and increases in speed toward DMX 254. When enabled,
the Strobe channel controls the fixture output as follows.
N o t e : The RGB profile is optimized for maximum brightness at all settings. Sometimes
small changes in RGB values may produce unexpected jumps in brightness.
Shifts in brightness may be perceived during color cross fades in cues and
presets.
