FLX S24 Advanced Colour Heuristics

[DALX]

Does the S24 use advanced colour heuristics, which is a feature LightFactory has. I made a profile for a 6in1 led par, selected which on the colour picker, but only the white led was used. In LightFactory, when you select white using the colour picker, the other led's are used to increase the brightness of the fixture and achieve a colour close to white.

Hello,

FLX S24 will colour mix using Red, Green, Blue and White colour parameters if they are available with the selected fixture.

In your fixture file, Red, Green and Blue parameters will need a "Special" definition for their parameters. You will need to ensure this is set to "Red - Positive", "Green - Positive" and Blue - Positive". White does not need a Special definition.

If White is present, as you select more unsaturated colours, RGB is reduced, and white is increased. You can also see this, as by default with an RGBW fixture, the White auto colour palette will have white at full, RGB at 0. 

The reason for this is to allow for the fixture's shade of white to be used for colour mixing, not adding other chips.

Hope this helps,

Edward

Does this mean that the FLX S24 ignores Amber and U/V in the case of an RGBWAU/V  6in1 fixture ?

Hello,

Amber and UV Controls will be available for the fixture on the encoder wheels. If they don’t appear when the fixture is selected, tap Colour again. 

Hope this helps,

But ignores by using the colourpicker?

Hello,

UV is outside the visible spectrum, and so cannot be accurately used on the colour picker. 

With chips such as Lime or Amber, fixtures use different hues and saturations of these chips, so they are hard to give a defined wavelength and position on the colour picker. RGB and therefore W, have theoretically much more easily defined wavelengths of emission, and so therefore can accurately be placed on the picker and used for mixing. 

Hope this helps,
