C o n t r o l o P t i o n S
User settings on Source four leD Studio HD 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 for multiple operational modes
• multiple dimming curve options
• Preset color temeratures and sequences for stand-alone (no
console required) operation
• White point selection – 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.

Studio HD
™
notes
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.
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 cross-
fades.
High resolution hue (two-
channels), saturation, and
intensity control. HSi mode will
produce color cross-fades 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
cross-fade performance is the
same as HSi.
effectively addresses all seven
colors via three channels of
control. rGB profile will produce
additive color cross-fades.
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.
