Setting Segment Size and Segment Order

ColorBlaze TRX fixtures have variable segment sizes, ranging from 4 in to the total
fixture length (24 in or 72 in). Each segment functions as a separate, individually
controllable node or pixel. Increasing the number of segments increases the number
of consecutive DMX addresses that a fixture consumes.

Segment order is important for dynamic effects that move, chase, or sweep across
the nodes in a fixture or set of fixtures. Normal segment order is from input side to
output side (left to right facing the front of the fixture). Reverse segment order is
from output side to input side (right to left).

To set segment size:

►
1. Select Configuration > Segment Size.
2. Select a segment size of 4 in, 8 in, 12 in, 24 in, 36 in (6 ft fixture only), or 72 in
(6 ft fixture only).
3. Press Enter to confirm your selection.
To set segment order:

Setting Fixture Dimming Curve

Dimming curves describe how slowly or quickly a fixture dims at different levels of
input. For finer control, ColorBlaze TRX offers three different dimming curves for
use in different situations and applications:
Normal The non-linear (gamma) dimming curve used in most Philips Color Kinetics
LED lighting fixtures. Use this dimming curve to achieve consistent dimming behavior
in an installation where ColorBlaze TRX is installed alongside other Philips Color
Kinetics lighting fixtures.
Tungsten A non-linear dimming curve that emulates the dimming curve of
incandescent lamps on a DMX dimmer. This curve offers the most control at low
intensities.
Linear A dimming curve with a linear relationship between DMX input and LED
power.
To set a fixture's dimming curve:
►
1. Select Configuration > Dimming Curve.
2. Select Normal, Tungsten, or Linear.
3. Press Enter to confirm your selection.
