LEDs Type Setup

01) In setup mode, press one or more FIXTURES buttons (01)–(48) to select the fixture(s) for which you
want to set up the LEDs type. You can select multiple fixtures at the same time. The LEDs on the
selected buttons will light up.
02) Press the LEFT/RIGHT buttons (50)/(51) to select the LEDs type of the fixture. The available options are:
● RGB
● RGBW
● RGBA
● RGBWA
● RGBAW
● RGBW/UV
● RGBA/UV
● RGBWA/UV (default mode)
● RGBAW/UV
● Dimmer (white only)
03) Press the FIXTURES buttons (01)–(48) once again to cancel the selection of the fixtures in step 1. The
LEDs on the buttons will turn off. Do not do steps 3 and 4, if the LEDs type for all connected fixtures is
the same.
04) Repeat steps 1–3 to set up the LEDs types for the remaining fixtures, which have different LEDs type.

DMX Starting Address of the Connected Fixtures

The ColorCue 4 calculates automatically the starting DMX address of each connected fixture depending
on the LEDs type setup. Each color is controlled on a separate DMX channel. However, there are no
reserved DMX channels for each color and only the active channels are used.
For example, if you want to connect 3 fixtures with RGB LEDs and 3 fixtures with RGBWA/UV LEDs, the
starting DMX address of the connected 6 fixtures will be as follows:
Fixture FIXTURES button
Fixture 1
Fixture 2
Fixture 3
Fixture 4
Fixture 5
Fixture 6
...
The starting DMX address of the last selected fixture is displayed on the setup mode screen.
