9 LED Configuration Software 1.0 Programming Guide

 Data Loss
Select the type of data loss. Data Loss is what happens to the fixture's output when the
external control signal (either DMX or data from the Master fixture in a Master/Slave
configuration) is lost.
Instant
As soon as the control signal is lost, the fixture shuts off output and the LED array goes
black.
HLL-2Min
Hold last look for 2 minutes. The fixture retains its last setting for 2 minutes after the control
signal is lost, after which it shuts off output.
Cycling power to the fixture before the 2 minutes have passed will clear the last look and
the LEDs will remain off until control signal is restored.
HLL-4ever
Hold last look forever. After data is lost, the fixture maintains its last look until power is
removed from the fixture or control signal is restored. The last look will not be restored after
power has been cycled.
Plus Seven (Vivid, Lustr+, Fire and Ice, Studio HD)
Plus Seven allows enhanced color-mixing precision when using the RGB, HSI, HSIC, or
Studio profile as a starting point for color selection. Enabling Plus Seven adds another 8
DMX channels of control at the end of the control channels already in use by the fixture. For
example, in the HSIC profile, with Strobe enabled, the fixture uses 6 channels of control.
Enabling Plus Seven adds another 8 channels to the fixture, for a total of 14 channels of
control.
The first additional channel is an activation channel for the Plus Seven function. A value of
0 to 50% (DMX 0 to 129) deactivates Plus Seven. A value of 51 to 100% (DMX 130 to 255)
activates Plus Seven. The remaining 7 additional channels correspond to the individual
colors within the fixture's LED array.
Using Plus Seven Control
The following procedure is performed on your RDM lighting control device.
Step 1: Select a starting color point for the fixture output using the standard control
channels for RGB, HSI, etc.
Step 2: Set the first additional channel to a value between 51 and 100% to activate Plus
Seven.
Step 3: Refine the fixture output by altering one or more of the 7 individual color
channels.
• The starting point for each color is defined by the original color selection in
step 1.
• The brightness of each color can be increased or decreased from the starting
point to any value between zero and full output.
• Colors already at full output will not change when the Plus 7 channels are
moved up from the starting point, and colors already at zero output will not
change when the Plus 7 channels are moved down from the starting point.

1 Operation 10
 N O T E : Once any one of the seven individual color channels is altered from its neutral starting
position, the settings for the original color point may no longer reflect the actual output of
the fixture.
When using RGB, HSI, HSIC, or Studio profile for color selection, each fixture makes
accommodations for the specific LEDs in its array and produces output that is consistent
with other fixtures, whether or not they use LEDs from the same production batch.
Operating with Plus Seven enabled can override this calibration, and multiple fixtures
may produce slightly different outputs when individual color channels are altered from
their neutral starting points.

LED Settings
Output
Output is the way and amount to which the fixture constrains the overall power going to the
LED array, which determines how consistent the fixture’s brightness may be. Use Output
to choose the optimal balance between two competing performance parameters, maximum
brightness and output consistency, by adjusting:
• How much the fixture limits the overall power to the LED array.
• How the fixture reduces output as internal fixture components heat up during use or in
high ambient temperatures.
The output options are as follows.
Regulated
Regulated is a moderately constrained power or brightness with consistent output under
typical use. Power to the LEDs is separately regulated in order to maintain consistent
brightness during the initial fixture warm-up period. This is recommended for most indoor
applications.
Protected
Protected provides the most consistent output possible with the greatest potential for
reduced overall brightness. This is best for outdoor use, changing environmental
temperatures, and applications with high requirements for consistency in extreme operating
conditions.
Boost
Boost provides the brightest possible output, with least guarantee of consistency. This is
best for applications with low duty cycles, loose brightness requirements, or where ambient
temperature is low.

N O T E : In all Output settings, if the fixture gets too warm and internal components approach
unsafe operating temperatures, the total power to the LED array is gradually reduced and
proportionate brightness levels between the various colors of LEDs are maintained as
much as possible in order to preserve the overall color mix; however, some minor shifts
in output may occur. Power continues to ramp down as much as necessary until internal
fixture components return to a safe temperature. If the fixture has a display, it displays a
warning message on the home screen indicating that power budgeting is in place,
showing the percent of total power that is currently used.
If the fixture exceeds its maximum internal temperature, the fixture enters a cool-down
state, stops responding to the control signal, and it shuts down most or all power to the
LED array and displays its over-temperature status according to its setting for
over-temperature warning.

11 LED Configuration Software 1.0 Programming Guide

 Curve
Curve is the correlation between the change in the value of the dimming control signal and
the actual change in the fixture's brightness. Curve is also the extent to which the fixture
lags in its response time to the control signal in order to facilitate smoothness in dimming.
Standard
Standard is a modest curve for intuitive brightness changes at both high and low ends of
the dimming range. Moderate lag in response for good smoothness. It allows quick jumps
in brightness. Suitable for most applications.
Intensity

0 DMX 255

Incandescent
Exaggerated curve mimics the response of tungsten on a conventional dimmer. Lag is quite
pronounced and present even in full on or off bumps. Extreme smoothness with no instant
changes. Best when fixtures must operate in sync with incandescent sources.
Intensity

0 DMX 255

Linear
Linear has no curve. Brightness levels correlate exactly with the value of the dimming
control signal. Moderate lag in response for good dimming smoothness. Linear allows quick
jumps in brightness. It is best for studio lighting and applications with static scenes or looks.
Intensity

0 DMX 255

Quick
Quick uses the standard dimming curve but with no lag or smoothing. All changes are
instant and correlated exactly with the control input signal. Quick is best for extreme high
impact and video-based control.
Intensity

0 DMX 255

1 Operation 12
 Output Frequency
Output Frequency is the frequency in Hz at which the LED array pulses, or blinks, as a
function of Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM). The frequency is adjustable in order to avoid
visible flicker on video and film. When altering the frequency in order to reduce noticeable
flicker on camera, often only a small change is required. The range is 920 to 30,000 Hz in
increments of 10. The default value is 1200 Hz.
For high speed exposure or rolling shutter cameras, use 25,000 Hz to increase the PWM
which will result in flicker-free operation in most circumstances.
Changing the frequency from the default value can have a slight impact on the smoothness,
color-mix consistency, or both when dimming.
Red Shift
Red shift allows the fixture to match its dimming performance to that of a conventional
tungsten lamp as it dims. The fixture automatically changes its apparent White Point, or
color temperature, as a function of overall intensity. Red shift works with both white-light
and colored-light output settings. It is also known as amber drift and tungsten shift. Red shift
is available only in the HSI and RGB profiles. It is not available on Studio Daylight and
Studio Tungsten fixtures.
White Point (Vivid, Lustr+, Fire and Ice, Studio HD)
White Point controls the appearance (color temperature) of white-light output when
saturation is at or near zero. This option is available when using the HSI and RGB profiles.
The choices are 2950K, 3200K, 5600K, and 6500K.

Local Settings
Not all local settings may be applicable to the fixtures.
B a c k li g h t
If the fixture has a display screen, you can change the brightness of the LCD backlight. The
brightness level is variable from 0 to 100%.
Backlight Timeout
You can change the length of time the LCD backlight remains on after a UI button has been
pressed. The options are 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, and never.

13 LED Configuration Software 1.0 Programming Guide

 Status Indicators
Status Indicators are on by default. Select Off to turn the Status Indicators off.

Figure-1.8 Status Indicators on the back of a fixture.

The status indicators are three, small, colored LEDs on the back of the fixture that indicate
the status of:
• Power — Illuminated blue when AC power is supplied to the fixture.
• DMX — Illuminates green when an active DMX signal is being received by the
fixture. The LED blinks when DMX is not present.
• Error — Blinks red only when the fixture is experiencing a data error, high internal
temperature, or other abnormal condition.

CAUTION: Although it may be desirable in some applications to eliminate all stray light from
the back of the fixture, turning the Status Indicators OFF prevents them from
communicating potentially critical information. Use discretion when selecting the
OFF setting.

O ve r T e m p
You can change how an over-temperature situation is indicated in order to control stray
light.
Visible
The fixture produces a low-level, red light from the LED array and turns on the error
indicator light.
Visible
The fixture produces a low-level light from only some of the LEDs in the LED array and turns
on the error indicator light.
Dark
The fixture turns off the LED array entirely.

Restore Defaults

15 LED Configuration Software 1.0 Programming Guide

 Presets and Sequences
Use the Presets and Sequences tab to run a preset color mix or a sequence of presets in
a stand-alone operation when no external control is connected to the fixture. Presets and
sequences override Quick Setups and the Send DMX configuration. When a Preset or
Sequence is stopped, the fixture or fixtures return to the previous configuration.

Figure-1.10 Presets and Sequences tab.

Note: Not all functionality of LED Config Tool may be available for the fixture you are
configuring. Refer to the fixture’s user manual for information about its functionality.

Presets
A Preset is a single, static look or color mix. Only one Preset can be active at a time. As
you edit the Preset Settings, the change is updated live in the fixture’s memory. However,
the change is not saved to LED Config Tool. If you customize a Preset for future use, you
must click Record Preset. To record a preset, the fixture must be in HSI mode. Only one
Preset can be active at a time.
Fade Time
Fade time is the length of time the fixture takes to crossfade from the previous setting to the
Preset. The format is MM:SS. The default is 2 seconds.

1 Operation 16
 Delay Time
Delay time is the length of time the fixture waits on the previous setting before initiating the
crossfade to the Preset. The default is 0 seconds.
Hue (Vivid, Lustr+, Fire and Ice, Studio HD)
Use Hue to change the overall hue of the Preset. If the Preset is currently active, the
changes made in the Preset Settings pane update to the fixture output immediately.
Saturation
Use Saturation to change the saturation of the Preset color.
Intensity
Use Intensity to change the intensity of the Preset.
Strobe
Use Strobe to change the flashing rate of the Preset. Refer to the fixture’s operation
manual.
Using a Preset
Step 1: In the Discovered Devices pane, select the fixture that the Preset will be applied
to.
Step 2: Enter the Preset Number.
Step 3: Click Play Preset.
Step 4: To stop the preset, click Stop Preset.
Customizing a Preset
Step 1: In the Discovered Devices pane, select the fixture that the custom Preset will
be applied to.
Step 2: Enter the Preset Number.
Step 3: Edit the Preset values as needed.
Step 4: Click Record Preset. The customized configuration overwrites the existing
Preset.

16 Dark Lavender
17 Deep Purple
18 Clear Blue
19 Lite Blue
20 Medium Blue
21 Primary Blue
22 Blue-Green
23 Lite Green
24 Green

Presets (Studio Daylight, Studio Tungsten)

The Desire Studio Daylight and Studio Tungsten fixtures come with 24 available slots for
Presets. There are no default Presets that come pre-configured from the factory. You can
activate any of the Presets and customize each one. Only one Preset can be active at a
time. Studio Daylight and Studio Tungsten fixtures have Presets that you can define both
Intensity and Strobe values.

1 Operation 18
 Sequences
A Sequence is a timed series of Presets. Up to 12 different Sequences may be altered for
Preset selections, crossfade rate, and link time. Only one Preset within a sequence can be
active at a time.
You can create your own custom sequence that includes two or more Presets. For
example, you may want to sequence through Presets 2, 4, 23, and 1, in that order. As you
enter these into the sequence, you also can set the rate and link time for each step.
As you edit the Sequence Settings, the change is updated live in the fixture’s memory.

Figure-1.11 Sequences pane.

Step Number
You enter the number of the step in the sequence to be edited.
Preset Number
Preset is the number of a Preset, whether it is a predefined or a custom color mix.
Link Time (mm:ss)
Link Time is the length of time the fixture waits before moving from one Preset to the next.
The format is minutes:seconds (mm:ss). The default is 2 seconds.
Rate (%)
Rate is the execution of the Presets' Fade Times and Delay Times within the Sequence,
relative to their settings within the actual Presets. The available Rate range is 2 to 500%.
The default is 100%.
A Rate of 100% represents running the Sequence with timing exactly as specified within
the Presets. A Rate above 100% represents running the Sequence with faster timing than
specified within the Presets. For example, with a Rate of 200%, a Preset with a Fade Time
of 6 seconds would actually be run within the Sequence in only 3 seconds.
A Rate below 100% represents running the Sequence with slower timing than specified
within the Presets. For example, with a Rate of 50%, a Preset with a Fade Time of 6
seconds would actually be run within the Sequence in 12 seconds.

19 LED Configuration Software 1.0 Programming Guide

 End State
After each of the steps have been configured, set the End State. End state is what the
fixture does once it completes the Sequence. Two end state options are available and both
options repeat indefinitely until the Sequence is deactivated. To end the sequence, you
must program an additional and final step within the sequence using Preset 0. Preset 0
marks the end of the Sequence. Preset 0 may only be used once within a Sequence. If you
want the Sequence to repeat automatically, you may only define up to 23 steps with Presets
1 through 24, since the final step must be reserved for Preset 0.
Loop
Once the fixture completes the entire sequence, it immediately returns to the beginning and
starts the sequence over again, in order.
Bounce
Once the fixture completes the entire sequence, it reverses the order of the presets and
steps backward through them until reaching the starting step, at which point it starts the
Sequence over again, in the original order.
Configuring a Sequence
Step 1: In the Discovered Devices pane, select the fixture that the Sequence will be
applied to.
