5).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.

6). DV

The DV 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 DV 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.

15. CAL 1

There are 11 preprogrammed white settings which can be accessed via DMX channel 6.

The 11 settings are labeled WT 01 through to WT11.

Each of the settings can be adjusted/edited.

To do this, go through the Root Menu until CAL 1. Press Enter and then use the

↑ or ↓ buttons to get to

the WT to be edited; for example WT01. Press Enter. The display will read R223 which is the default

setting for the Red LED value (dmx 223) for WT01. To change this value, use the

↑ or ↓ button. Once

the correct value is chosen press Enter to save and automatically the Green value will be present

(which is G255). Again use the

↑ or ↓ to change the value and press Enter to save and move

automatically to the Blue value (B029). Again use the

↑ or ↓ to change the value and press Enter to

save and move automatically back to the Red value. Use the Menu button to exit out to the Root Menu.

As there are 11 different white settings, there values can all be changed. See channel 6 on the DMX

chart for the complete listing and what each of the white's color temperature is set to.
