Color Control

The Standard protocol modes for SHOWPIX and StudioPix fixtures provide color mixing control for up to two image files and a composite image. Other protocol modes provide washlight operation or individual LED color mixing.

The type of color control depends on the protocol mode you select for the fixture:

Standard protocol assigns two channels each for Red, Green, and Blue parameters to provide 16-bit color mixing for each of the two images and the global composite image. Several color mixing modes are available (see Color Function Parameter on page 36).

Reduced protocol assigns three channels for 8-bit Red, Green, and Blue color mixing.

Pixel Mapping protocol gives you precision color control of every “pixel” of the fixture array with 8-bit color mixing for each LED.

Extended protocol provides all the color control offered in Standard protocol plus individual LED color mixing.

For a table of each protocol mode’s parameters, see SHOWPIX and StudioPix Protocol Modes on page 25.

Color Parameters

Red, Green and Blue parameters let you control color mixing and in Standard and Extended protocol, provide adjustment for various Color function options.

Default DMX Value = 0: No color (All protocol types)

In Standard and Extended protocol Red, Green, and Blue parameters adjust from no color at a DMX value = 0 to full saturation at a DMX value = 65,535.

Note: To Control LEDs as a Single Color in Standard or Extended protocol modes, set Folder and File and Color Function parameters to a DMX value = 0. The output will display a solid color you can adjust with the Red, Green and Blue parameters.

In Reduced protocol, the Red, Green, and Blue parameters adjust a single color value for all LED’s from no color at a DMX value = 0 to full saturation at a DMX value = 255.

Pixel Mapping protocol assigns a Red, Green and Blue parameter to each of the LEDs to adjust the Red, Green, and Blue component of the output for that LED. Values range from no color at a DMX value = 0 to full saturation at a DMX value = 255.
