User settings on Source four leD fixtures allow multiple operational
modes and settings for either console operation via DmX protocol
or stand-alone operation. the expanded lCD display provides easy
navigation to all possible settings and options. Some of the setting
options are:
• multiple DmX choices, ranging from a simple rGB
profile – which effectively controls all seven leD colors via
three channels – to nine-channel 'direct' color and
intensity control
• multiple dimming curve options
• Preset colors and sequences for stand-alone (no-console-
required) operation
• White-point selection – white light and color behavior based
on a specific color temperature white light, i.e. 3200K,
5600K, etc.
• loss of data behavior options – instant off, hold last look for
two minutes, etc.
• output modes – three output options that offer the user a
choice between maximum output and maximum consistency
See the user manual for a complete explanation of all of the control
settings and options for the Source four leD.
Quick Setups
to assist in managing the numerous control and fixture behavior choices, five
combinations of operational settings are available to quickly get started. these
settings are specifically created for different applications and are easily accessible at
the fixture display. each setting can then be modified as required to take advantage
of all of the possible control features.

Plus 7
Seven additional color-control channels are available in
rGB, HSi, and HSiC input profile settings. for example,
HSi with 'Plus 7' enabled becomes a 15-channel profile:
1 – Hue (coarse)
2 – Hue (fine)
3 – Saturation

Strobe
Variable strobe control: 0% is no strobe. the fixture
output will strobe more rapidly as the strobe channel
value approaches 100%.
notes
Direct control of each individual
color with a separate master
intensity channel. Color calibration
of leDs is not active in this mode.
this profile will produce additive
color crossfades.
High-resolution hue (two
channels), saturation, and intensity
control. HSi mode will produce
color crossfades around the color
space.
High-resolution hue, saturation
and intensity control as above,
with the addition of a color-
point channel to adjust the color
temperature of the fixture in
both white light and color. Color
crossfade performance is the same
as HSi.
effectively addresses all seven
colors via three channels of
control. rGB profile will produce
additive color cross-fades.
Controls fixture as a white-light
unit. if no DmX (i.e. console input)
is present, fixture can be adjusted
for these three parameters on the
U/i at the back of the unit.
the desired color and intensity
is achieved by using the HSi or
rGB channels
Placing channel seven at a value
over 51% gives the fixture a
15-channel profile.
Channels 9-15 represent the
native colors of the fixture and
allow the operator to adjust
individual color channels to fine-
tune the color output.
