StudioPix™ Pixelation Luminaire User Manual 35
Chapter 6 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 com ponent of the output for tha t LED. Values ran ge from no col or at a
DMX value = 0 to full saturation at a DMX value = 255.
