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
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. The white point address of the D60 occupies a different address. For information
about the D60 DMX footprint, refer to
D60 (Vivid, Lustr+, Fire, Ice, Studio HD), page 37
RGB
Effectively addresses all 7 colors via three channels of control. The RGB profile produces
medium-quality color crossfades. It makes the Desire fixtures compatible with conventional
RGB console profiles while maintaining enhanced color production from the fixture. Also

N o t e :
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.
