Setting Fixture Dimming Curve
Dimming curves describe how slowly or quickly a fixture dims at different levels of
input. For finer control, ColorBlast TRX offers three different dimming curves for use
in different situations and applications:
Normal (NORM) The non-linear (gamma) dimming curve used in most Philips
Color Kinetics LED lighting fixtures. Use this dimming curve to achieve consistent
dimming behavior in an installation where ColorBlast TRX is installed alongside other
Philips Color Kinetics lighting fixtures.
Linear (LINR) A dimming curve with a linear relationship between power input
and DMX output.
Tungsten / Incandescent (TUNG) A non-linear dimming curve that emulates the
dimming curve of incandescent lamps on a DMX dimmer. This curve offers the most
control at low intensities.
To set a fixture's dimming curve:
►
1.
Select CFG > CURV.
2.
Select NORM, LINR, or TUNG.
3.
Press Enter to confirm your selection.
Setting LED Transition Speed
Normally, LEDs react to DMX or other control data instantaneously. In some cases,
you may want to slow down the reaction speed to achieve smoother transitions when
the intensity of different LED channels changes. ColorBlast TRX offers five levels of
decreasing LED transition speed, from FAST (instant snap changes) to D-4 (slowest
transition speed).
To set a fixture's LED transition speed:
►
1.
Select CFG > SPD.
2.
Select FAST, D-1, D-2, D-3, or D-4.
3.
Press Enter to confirm your selection.
Running Fixture Self-Test
ColorBlast TRX has a built-in self-test that lets you visually check that each LED
channel is working properly. The self-test also tests the backlighting of each menu
button and the readout area.
To run the fixture self-test:
►
1.
Select TEST.
2.
Select RUN.
The test illuminates each menu button, each line segment in the readout area,
then each LED channel in turn. The test then illuminates all LEDs simultaneously,
then returns the fixture to its previous state.
