    Ambient temperatures The Tripix system can be operated at ambient temperatures from -30° C (-22° F) to 45° C (113° F). DMX color control modes When the Tripix system is set up for DMX-controlled operation, faders on the DMX controller are used to control color and intensity.
  • Page 32 200 – 10 000 K Pixel grouping mode If Tripix 1200 fixtures are set to 2 or 4 pixel mode, the DMX channels used are available for each pixel. For example, a Tripix 1200 in 4-pixel HSIC mode will use 16 channels: the first 4 channels will control HSIC on pixel 1, Channel 5 to 8 will control HSIC on pixel 2, and so on.

  • Page 33: Service And Maintenance

    However, optical components in all lighting fixtures are subject to wear and tear over the life of the Tripix fixture, resulting in gradual changes in color rendition, for example. The extent of wear and tear depends heavily on operating conditions and environment, so it is impossible to specify precise lifetimes for optical components.
