Setting Color Control Mode

ColorBlaze TRX offers three color control modes:
RGBAW in / out ColorBlaze TRX accepts five channels of DMX data, and outputs
to five channels of LEDs (red, green, blue, amber, and white)
RGB in / out ColorBlaze TRX accepts three channels of DMX data (red, green,
and blue), and outputs to three channels of LEDs (the amber and white channels are
not used)
RGB - > RGBAW ColorBlaze TRX accepts three channels of DMX data (red,
green, and blue), and maps the input to five channels of LEDs (red, green, blue, amber,
and white)
To set a fixture's color control mode:
►
1. Select Configuration > Color Control Mode.
2. Select RGBAW in/out, RGB in/out, or RGB - >RGBAW.
3. Press Enter to confirm your selection.

Setting Fixture Resolution

ColorBlaze TRX can function in 8-bit or 16-bit mode. 16-bit mode affords finer
control over brightness and color selection, but requires a 16-bit DMX controller.
In 16-bit mode, each fixture segment consumes twice as many consecutive DMX
channels.
To set a fixture's resolution:
►
1. Select Configuration > 8 / 16 Bit Control.
2. Select 8 bit or 16 bit.
3. Press Enter to confirm your selection.
