Plus Seven (Vivid, Lustr+, Fire and Ice, Studio HD)
Plus Seven allows enhanced color-mixing precision when using the RGB, HSI, HSIC, or
Studio profile as a starting point for color selection. Enabling Plus Seven adds another 8
DMX channels of control at the end of the control channels already in use by the fixture. For
example, in the HSIC profile, with Strobe enabled, the D22, D40, D40XT fixtures use 6
channels of control. Enabling Plus Seven adds another 8 channels to the fixture, for a total
of 14 channels of control.
The D60 fixture uses 7 channels of control. With Plus Seven, the total is 15 channels of
control.
The first additional channel is an activation channel for the Plus Seven function. A value of
0 to 50% (DMX 0 to 129) deactivates Plus Seven. A value of 51 to 100% (DMX 130 to 255)
activates Plus Seven. The remaining 7 additional channels correspond to the individual
colors within the fixture's LED array.
Step 1: On the DMX Settings menu, scroll to Plus Seven.

Using Plus Seven Control
The following procedure is performed on your lighting console.
Step 1: Select a starting color point for the fixture output using the standard control
channels for RGB, HSI, etc.
Step 2: Set the first additional channel to a value between 51 and 100% to activate Plus
Seven.
Step 3: Refine the fixture output by altering one or more of the 7 individual color
channels.
•
The starting point for each color is defined by the original color selection in
step 1.
• The brightness of each color can be increased or decreased from the starting
point to any value between zero and full output.
• Colors already at full output will not change when the Plus 7 channels are
moved up from the starting point, and colors already at zero output will not
change when the Plus 7 channels are moved down from the starting point.
• The starting point on the Plus 7 color channels is 50% control level. If all the
Plus Seven color adjust channels are at 50%, the colors are at the original
colors.
