- Page 2 Lightblade Edge can be controlled via traditional DMX/RDM, in either 8 or 16-bit resolution. Operating modes include both Hue/Sat/Intensity/ CCT and Cineo’s “Smart RGB” mode, with individual Red/Green/Blue/CCT controls that automatically delivers optimum white light quality. Local user control of individual Lightblades is accomplished with an embedded control panel on each Lightblade.

Page 4: System Configurations
System Configurations Lightblade Edge systems can be purchased in several configurations, based on the Lightblade lamphead dimensions (2’ or 4’) and number of Lightblades in the fixture (1, 2 or 4). The following chart describes the details of each: Edge 80 Edge 160 Edge 320 2’... -
Page 5: Color Space
Color Space The Lightblade Edge uses two separate LED engines to independently generate accurate white light, variable from 2700K to 6500K, and an extended RGB gamut for broad saturated color space. The CIE 1931 diagram illustrates the Lightblade Edge color space. - Page 6 System Components, Connections and Controls Components All Lightblade Edge configurations feature these characteristics: The Lightblade Edge system essentially includes four different components that can be combined or used individually to create optimized lighting fixtures and systems. These are: 1. Lightblade Lampheads Linear LED soft light sources, supporting five LED channels: R, G, B, 2700K, 6500K.
- Page 7 Data Connections All connectors for the Lightblades and their connected controllers are located on the ends of the units. Note that the cable connecting the Lightblade and controller is RJ50 (10-wire). This differs from standard RJ45 connectors (8 wire); these cables are NOT cross-compatible. DMX/RDM connectors use (2) RJ45 connectors, located on the opposite end of the controller.
- Page 8 These six values are: 1. DMX Address – the starting address for the Lightblade. The first character of the display shows “A”, followed by values from 001 to 512. 2. DMX Personality – The display shows on of the four personality options: HSIC16, HSIC08, RGBC16, RGBC08.
- Page 9 Adjusting DMX starting Address With LOCAL control enabled, when the display is showing the DMX Address, pressing the UP or DOWN buttons changes the starting address for DMX. You must press the ENTER button within 20 seconds in order to keep the new DMX address; otherwise it will revert to the previous address. The example to the right shows the display for Address 001.
- Page 10 Adjusting DMX Slot 3 This shows the third DMX slot value based on the current personality setting. The control console can change the value of this channel using the UP/DOWN buttons, and results are reflected on the output of the fixture. No “ENTER” is required for the new value to take effect. If the unit is in either 8-bit or 16-bit HSIC personalities, this slot adjusts amount of color Saturation, from 0-100%.
- Page 11 Red, Green and Blue channels. This is extremely valuable in correlating RGB operation in context with the white balance selected on the camera. Cineo employs SmartRGB™ technology to provide color-accurate white when blending R, G and B signals. This allows RGBC users to work within a prescribed CCT for the white point, with maximum color rendering.
- Page 12 Settings Photo-Accurate Dimming™ The dimming curve on the Lightblade Edge follows a strategy that provides relative output levels that correspond to image capture. Both DMX values and local control levels directly correlate to camera stops in a meaningful way. The result is extremely predictable light levels within the full output range of the fixture.

Page 13: Mounting Options
Here are examples of how to accurately match camera stops to dimming levels in DMX Mode: DMX Dimming: The Rule of 50 (0-255 scale) Increase output 1 Stop: Add 50 DMX values (fc/lux is doubled) Decrease output 1 Stop: Subtract 50 DMX values (fc/lux is reduced 50%) Adjust ½... -
