    White LEDs The KNV features a 5x5 matrix of cool white LEDs that produce powerful white light at 5000 K. The white LEDs can be controlled together or individually depending on the DMX control mode selected.

    Pixel mapping If you control the KNV’s 5 x 5 matrix of LED blocks individually, pixels are numbered as shown below as seen from the front of the fixture: 13 14 11 12 13 12 15 18 19 20...

    Random pixel sparkle The KNV’s Flare effect channels include a Random pixel setting. This setting applies the flare effect to individual pixels at random, giving an impressive sparkling effect. Again, we recommend that you try combining this effect with increased flash length.
  • Page 14 www.glp.de Dedicated FX channels • The first FX channel, the FX Selection channel, lets you choose and activate an FX from a list of dynamic FX patterns. If this channel is set to zero, the third strobe channel controls strobe flash rate. If an FX is selected on this channel, the third strobe channel controls FX speed.

    (see above) or if fixture temperature exceeds optimum level, we recommend that you use medium mode in combination with one of the Output limitation levels available via DMX and in the fixture’s control panel to keep the fixture in output/temperature balance. KNV User Manual Rev. 1.0...

  • Page 18: Fixture Information

    www.glp.de • Low mode sets fans to constant low speed. This mode is optimized for minimum noise. Light output intensity is smoothly reduced if it becomes necessary in order to keep fixture temperature at optimum level. If you want to avoid any automatic reductions in output intensity that may occur if fixture temperature exceeds optimum level, we recommend that you that you use low mode in combination with one of the Output limitation levels available via DMX and in the fixture’s control panel to keep the fixture in output/temperature balance.

  • Page 26: Special Notes On The Dmx Tables

    www.glp.de • DMX Modes 6 and 7 give you individual control of 25 separate pixels with 8- or 16-bit resolution. A separate Shutter channel provides strobe, pixel and ramp-up/down effects. This extra shutter affects all the LEDs, both white and RGB, by default, but you can change this setting via the Control / Settings DMX Channel or the fixture’s control panel so that the shutter applies to white LEDs only or to RGB LEDs only.
