Presets and Sequences
Use Presets and Sequences to run a preset color mix or a sequence of presets in a
stand-alone operation. when no external control signal is connected to the fixture.
Presets and sequences override Quick Setups and the Send DMX configuration. When a
Preset or Sequence is stopped, the fixture or fixtures return to the previous configuration.
Presets
A Preset is a single, static look or color mix. Only one Preset can be active at a time. As
you edit the preset settings, the change is updated live in the fixture’s memory. However,
the change is not saved to an RDM configuration tool or DMX/RDM lighting control device.
If you customize a Preset for future use, you must record it. To record a preset, the fixture
must be in HSI mode. A Preset takes precedence over DMX.
The fixture is shipped with all emitters active so you can focus the fixture during installation.
This look remains active until it is changed with an RDM configuration tool or RDM lighting
control device. Once you record a Preset, this original look is longer available.
Fade Time
Fade time is the length of time the fixture takes to cross fade from the previous setting to
the Preset. The format is MM:SS. The default is 2 seconds.
Delay Time
Delay time is the length of time the fixture waits on the previous setting before initiating the
cross fade to the Preset. The default is 0 seconds.
Hue (Vivid, Lustr+, Fire, Ice, and Studio HD)
Use Hue to change the overall hue of the Preset. If the Preset is currently active, the
changes made in the Preset Settings pane update to the fixture output immediately.
Saturation
Use Saturation to change the saturation of the Preset color.
Intensity
Use Intensity to change the intensity of the Preset color.
