Plus Seven
Plus Seven adds precision color-control channels to the HSI, HSIC, RGB, and Studio profiles. For
example, HSI with Plus Seven enabled becomes a 14-channel profile. Placing channel 7 at a value over
51% activates the 14-channel profile within the fixture. The desired color and intensity is achieved by
using the HSI or RGB channels as a starting point. Channels 8 to 14 represent the native LED colors of
the fixture and allow you to adjust each color up or down in order to fine-tune the overall color output.
The D60 Plus Seven addresses occupy different addresses. For information about the D60 DMX
footprint, refer to

Color Matching
The color output of all Desire fixtures is calibrated at the factory. When operating in the RGB, HSI,
HSIC, or Studio profile, each fixture makes accommodations for the specific LEDs in its array and
produces output that is consistent with other fixtures, whether or not they utilize LEDs from the same
production batch. Operating in the Direct Control profile or with Plus Seven settings adjustments
bypasses this calibration, and multiple fixtures may produce slightly different outputs when controlled
as a group.

When Plus Seven is enabled and the individual control channels have been adjusted,
those adjustments continue to apply after choosing a new color mix. For best results,
reset each of the individual control channels to 128 (50%) before choosing a new
initial color mix.
Depending on the initial color mix, some LED colors may begin at full intensity.
Moving the individual control channels for these colors from 128 to 255 (50–100%)
will produce no effective change from the initial color mix. Conversely, some LED
colors may begin at zero intensity, and moving individual control channels from 128
to 0 (50–0%) will produce no change.
