Fixture Programming

Color Mixing

The SHOWGUN® fixture has two color mixing systems. A CMY system that is comprised of a dichroic color mixing system for output from the Output Lens and a RGB color mixing system that is comprised of 36 RGB Modules in the LED Tracking system.

CMY Color

The CMY color mixing system creates and infinite range of color by moving pairs of Cyan, Magenta and Yellow flags. Several color selection modes are available in either full speed (controller crossfading the wheel positions), or MSpeed (MSpeed control of the wheel motor). For more information on MSpeed, see MSpeed (Motor Speed) on page 34.

The Color Function you choose will effect which parameter values are available for each individual color (Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow). The following table describes the Color Functions available on the SHOWGUN fixture.

Color Function	Description
Continuous	Allows exact positioning at any point on the color wheel
Random	Selects whole color positions at variable speeds
Cycle	Cycles through colors
Tri-Color, single flag	Controls movement of one flag of a pair with the other flag open
Tri-Color, dual flag	Controls movement of one flag of a pair with the other flag closed (fully
	saturated)

Tri Color

Independent control over individual flags in each color pair allows you to create tri-color beam effects. You can choose whether to control one or both flags of a pair.
