Installation and User Interface Overview 33
Studio
The fixture produces only white-type light, which is adjustable from 2700 to 6500K. The
Studio profile uses 3 DMX channels to control Intensity, white point, and tint, (the
green/magenta balance). Tint is adjustable without affecting the white point. All three
control parameters are adjustable via DMX as well as onboard with instant access via UI
buttons (no menus to scroll).
Studio is the default mode for Studio HD fixtures. The Studio profile is also available on all
other Desire Series fixtures. For more information, see Studio Settings, page 77 . Also see
Color Matching, page 34 .
Strobe
In most profiles (Vivid, Lustr+, Fire and Ice, Studio HD), strobe is assigned to channel 5. It
adds another channel to any of the DMX profiles. Under the Advanced Settings menu, the
strobe function may be disabled and the additional channel for strobe will not be used by
the fixture. With strobe at either DMX value 0 or 255, the fixture output is constantly on. At
DMX 1, the fixture strobes slowly and increases in speed toward DMX 254.
N o t e : The RGB profile is optimized for maximum brightness at all settings. Sometimes
small changes in RGB values may produce unexpected jumps in brightness.
Shifts in brightness may be perceived during color crossfades in cues and presets.
