11. ID Address.
An Elektralite eyeBall can be addressed (controlled) through the dmx or instead it can have its own
unique ID address.

Press Enter and then using the ↑ or ↓ buttons,to select the ID address.
Press Enter to save the address.
For the ID address to work you must chose a Personality that uses the ID. For example STAG
This allows you to access the ID address system on channel 4.
Set the DMX address to d.001 for the fixture. So if ID address 123 is chosen then go to channel 4 on
the lighting board and set the level at 123. You will then be controlling only fixture(s) with ID address
123.
12. Fixture Personality.

12 and 13.

dmx number of channels is 11.
13. Set.
(Set has several Sub Menus which allow functions to be used).
1). DTV
The DTV setting allows the ability of the leds to not flicker when using video camera.
The choices are NTSC or PAL. NTSC is the USA system.
To set the DTV setting, go through the Root Menu until DV. Press Enter and then use the ↑ or↓ buttons
to get to either NTSC or PAL. Once chosen, press Enter to save the setting and the Menu to exit back
to the Root Menu.
2). RGBW
The RGBW setting allows the ability to calibrate the white achieved when mixing RGB.
When RGBW is set to OFF, the output when Red, Green, and Blue is at maximum is 255 for all three
colors. By definition this combination produces a white with a blue tinge which affects all other colors if
cameras and other video equipment are "keyed" to this.
When RGBW is set to ON, the output can be white balanced to whatever looks good on camera, for
example. It also serves to balance the white into a "warm" white which makes people look a lot better
when they are in the light!
See Cal 2, for how to calibrate the white when the RGBW is turned ON.
To turn RGBW either OFF or ON, go through the Root Menu until RGBW. Press Enter and then use
the ↑ or ↓ buttons to get to either OFF or ON. Once chosen, press Enter to save the setting and then
Menu to exit out back to the Root Menu.
3). DIM

Choice 1 :- this is Dim off. The Dimmer curve is 0 which means any change in dimmer level is
instantaneous.
Choice 2:- Dim 1. The dimmer curve has the shortest fade in and fade out time.
Choice 3:- Dim 2. The dimmer curve has the 2
nd shortest fade in and fade out time.
Choice 4:- Dim 3. The dimmer curve has the 3 rd shortest fade in and fade out time
