DMX Mapping

Color Control

The luminaire's color system is composed of a color mixing mechanism and two fixed color wheels.
The follow sections describe these components.

Color Mixing

The color mixing mechanism is made up of four graduated color disks: cyan, yellow, magenta and
CTO (color temperature orange). These disks provide full-spectrum color crossfades from pastel to
saturated color.

Fixed Color Wheel 1

The fixed color wheels offer timed changes, half and full frame positions, and various spin rates in
either direction. The wheel contains six positions, one of which is open. The following illustration
