Plus Seven (Lustr+, Series 2 Lustr, and 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 fixture uses 6 channels of control.

Enabling Plus Seven adds another 8 channels to the fixture, for a total of 14 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.

N o t e :

Once any one of the seven individual color channels is altered from its neutral

starting position, the settings for the original color point may no longer reflect the

actual output of the fixture.
When using RGB, HSI, HSIC, or Studio profile for color selection, each fixture makes

accommodations for the specific LEDs in its array and produces output that is

consistent with other fixtures, whether or not they use LEDs from the same

production batch.
Operating with Plus Seven enabled can override this calibration, and multiple fixtures

may produce slightly different outputs when individual color channels are altered

from their neutral starting points.
