P l u s 7
Plus 7 adds precision color-control channels to the HSI, HSIC, RGB, and Studio profiles.
For example, HSI with Plus 7 enabled becomes a 14-channel profile. Placing channel 7 at
a value over 51% activates the 14-channel profile within the fixture. The desired color and
intensity is achieved by using the HSI or RGB channels as a starting point. Channels 8 to
14 represent the native LED colors of the fixture and allow you to adjust each color up or
down in order to fine-tune the overall color output.

The color output of all Desire fixtures is calibrated at the factory. When operating in the
RGB, HSI, HSIC, or Studio profile, each fixture makes accommodations for the specific
LEDs in its array and produces output that is consistent with other fixtures, whether or not
they utilize LEDs from the same production batch. Operating in the Direct Control profile or
with Plus 7 settings adjustments bypasses this calibration and multiple fixtures may
produce slightly different outputs when controlled as a group.

Depending on the initial color mix, some LED colors may begin at full intensity.
Moving the individual control channels for these colors from 128 to 255 will
produce no effective change from the initial color mix. Conversely, some LED
colors may begin at zero intensity, and moving individual control channels from
128 to 0 will produce no change.
