Color Parameters

CMY color mixing is achieved using three sets of color flags (Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow). A fixed
color wheel provides an additional eight factory selected dichroic color filters.

Color Mix Function

This parameter determines how the Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow color flags move.
DMX Color Mix
Value Function
0-47 Pure Mix
48-63 Cycle
64-79 Random

Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow

These three parameters determine the Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow color flag position and
movement speed depending on the Color Mix Function parameter value you select.

Static Color Function

TechnoArc fixtures have a fixed color wheel with eight color positions plus Open.
The Static Color Function parameter determines how the fixed color wheel moves.

TM
Allows color flag movement from open (white) to saturated color.
Uses the color-mixing Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow color flags to cycle colors
from red to green to blue at variable speeds (rate set by Cyan DMX channel).
Performs a pseudo-random color chase of factory-selected colors using the
Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow color flags at variable speeds (rate set by Cyan
DMX channel).
Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow Parameter Option
Positions color flags from full saturation to open (white)
The Cyan color flag sets the speed at which all three (Cyan, Magenta,
and Yellow) flags move to the next cycle or random color from slowest to
fastest.
Allows the color wheel to take the quickest path and snap to the chosen
whole or half color
Spins the fixed color wheel forward at variable speeds
Spins the fixed color wheel in reverse at variable speeds
Moves to any point on the color wheel to allow a smaller "step" between
color wheel positions
Oscillates the fixed color wheel at a factory-determined range and
speed
Selects random whole color positions at variable speeds
