2.3 Diffusion Film

The Color Split has a 5 degree diffusion film integrated into one cell and a 20 degree diffusion

film integrated into the other cell.

Printed at the bottom plate are “chevrons” that indicate the side with the 20 degree diffusion

film.

2.4 Fixing

The Color Split is supplied with a detachable yoke for a single fixture which can be used for

floor mounting, direct wall mounting and truss mounting.

The Color Split features an integral connection system to enable up to 3 units locked together

as a batten or strip. Integral M10 clinch nuts are built into each end of the fixture which can be

used to attach the fixture to a standard hook clamp or the wide range of Color Split mounting

accessories.

Note:

•For the M10 nuts, ensure that the bolt is not too long to avoid damage.

•Secure each fixture with the safety bond. Provision for a fixing hold is built into the end

plate of each fixture for secondary fixings.

•Ensure adequate ventilation to the rear of all Color Split fixtures. Avoid placing the fixtures

directly on the floor pointing upwards which leaves very little space for ventilation.

Integrated Connection System

One end plate of the Color Split fixture features two protruding locating pins and a catch plate,

and the other end plate of each fixture has two keyhole slots and a butterfly latch.

1. To connect two fixtures together, firstly mate the four protruding pins from one fixture

into the keyhole slots of the other fixture.

2. Then slide the fixtures together so that they are aligned correctly, taking care to get past

the extended catch plate.

Note: This will be stiff on new fixtures and a twisting action may ease assembly.

3. Finally, use the butterfly latch to secure the fixtures together tightly (maximum of 3 units

together).

Yoke Kit

The Color Split fixture is supplied with a detachable yoke kit for a single fixture with fibre

washers and thumb wheels. An M10 flat washer is provided as a spacer for the side with

protruding pins. The yoke kit can be used for floor mounting, direct wall mounting and truss

mounting when used with hook clamps or half couplers.

Note: See Drawing on page 12.

defaults' will take precedence on the next power cycle.

2.6 Modes of operation

The Color Split fixture features 32 high power LEDs divided into 2 separate cells of 16 LEDs

each. The LEDs in both cells can be controlled together as one (single control) and individually

as two separate cells (dual control).

Note: *Magic Amber is the term used for the unit's ability to be controlled with 3 channels and

include Amber when mixing the colours.

a. Control Modes

Mode 1 ‘oP1’: Single control (for 2 cells x 16 LEDs) in 3 channel RGB(A) (with *Magic Amber) is

the traditional way of controlling intensity channels of the fixture. Each of the 3 control channels

directly affects the intensity of the corresponding LED – Red, Green and Blue (with Magic

amber). Colour is mixed by adjusting the levels of the three primary colours. White is achieved

with all channels at full.

Mode 2 ‘oP2’: Single control (for 2 cells x 16 LEDs) in 4 channel RGBA: gives 4 control channels

directly affecting the intensity of the corresponding LED – Red, Green, Blue and Amber. Colour

is mixed by adjusting the levels of each of the four colours. White is achieved with all channels

at full.

Mode 3 ‘oP3’: Single control (for 2 cells x 16 LEDs) in 3 channel HSI (Hue, Saturation and

Intensity) and 2 channels for Effects: gives 2 colour channels for hue and saturation, 1 separate

intensity channel, 1 channel for colour roll speed and 1 channel for colour range. A separate

definable intensity channel is particularly useful when creating intensity chases or when the

grand master is used. The hue channel has 255 different colours available and the saturation

channel specifies the saturation level of that colour. The saturation channel is fully saturated at

full. White is achieved with the intensity channel to full and the saturation channel at zero.

Colour Roll Speed: 0% - Off; 100% - Fastest

Colour Range: 0% - Full Colour Spectrum; 67% - 1/3 Colour Spectrum

Mode 4 ‘oP4’: Single control (for 2 cells x 16 LEDs) in 3 channel RGB(A) (with *Magic Amber), 1

channel for Master Intensity and 1 channels for Effects: gives 3 control channels directly

affecting the intensity of the corresponding LED – Red, Green, Blue (with Magic Amber), 1

channel for intensity effects and 1 channel for master intensity control.

The first channel sets intensity effect and speed:

0-24% fade on/fade off

25-49% fade on/snap off

50-74% snap on/fade off

75-100% strobe

Mode 5 ‘oP5’: Dual control (for 2 cells x 16 LEDs) in 6 channel RGB(A) (with *Magic Amber):

gives 2 sets of the 3 control channels for each cell directly affecting the intensity of the

corresponding LEDs – Red, Green and Blue (with Magic amber). Colour is mixed by adjusting

the levels of the three primary colours. White is achieved with all channels at full.

Mode 6 ‘oP6’: Dual control (for 2 cells x 16 LEDs) in 8 channel RGBA: gives 2 sets of 4 control

channels for each cell directly affecting the intensity of the corresponding LED – Red, Green,

Blue and Amber. Colour is mixed by adjusting the levels of each of the four colours. White is

achieved with all channels at full.

Color Split User Manual 8 V1.3 September 2007

Mode 7 ‘oP7’: Dual control (for 2 cells x 16 LEDs) in 6 channel HSI and 2 channel for Effects:

gives 2 sets of 2 colour channels for hue and saturation, 2 sets of separate intensity channels, 1

channel for colour roll speed and 1 channel for colour range.

Colour Roll Speed: 0% - Off; 100% - Fastest

Colour Range: 0% - Full Colour Spectrum; 67% - 1/3 Colour Spectrum

In this mode, various split colour wave effects can be created within a selected range of colours.

Set DMX-Ch2 @ any value greater than 0, and set DMX-Ch3 @ 0 or greater than DMX-Ch6 to

create two cells rolling in the opposite direction and therefore creating colour waves in the

assigned range of colours.

Example:

To create a blue to green wave effect: set DMX-Ch2 @ 67%, DMX-Ch3 @ 0%, and DMX-Ch6 @

33%, set desired speed on DMX-Ch1 and set DMX-Ch4, Ch5, Ch6, Ch7,Ch8 @ 100%.

Mode 8 ‘oP8’: Dual control (for 2 cells x 16 LEDs) in 6 channel RGB(A) (with ∗Magic Amber), 2

channel for Master Intensity and 1 channels for effects: gives 2 sets of 3 control channels

directly affecting the intensity of the corresponding LED – Red, Green, Blue (with Magic amber),

1 channel for intensity effects and 2 channels for master intensity control.

The first channel sets intensity effect and speed:

0-24% fade on/fade off

25-49% fade on/snap off

50-74% snap on/fade off

75-100% strobe and speed

Mode 9 ‘oP9’: Stand-alone provides ‘F00 –F99’ steps for variable selection of pre-programmed

effects. The ‘F’ setting is accessible only in ‘oP9’.

‘F00-F09’ 10 speeds full colour roll

‘F10-F19’ 10 speeds cold colour roll

‘F20-F29’ 10 speeds warm colour roll

‘F30-F39’ 10 speeds magenta colour roll

‘F40-F45’ 6 fixed split colours

‘F46-F69’ 24 fixed solid colours, 4 levels of saturation for each colour: blue, cyan, green,

yellow, red and magenta

‘F70-F79’ 10 fixed white colours: 2600K, 3200K, 3600K, 4100K, 5000K, 5600K, 6500K, 7000K,

7500K, 8000K

‘F80-F84’ 5 speeds fade on/fade off

‘F85-F89’ 5 speeds fade on/snap off

‘F90-F94’ 5 speeds snap on/fade off

‘F95-F99’ 5 speeds strobe

Colour Selection of intensity effects ‘c00 to c29’ is accessed when value is between F80 – F99.

Note: In this mode, the DMX level indicator stays off.
