Color Force User Manual 5 V1.2 November 2009
4 channel RGBA (Red, Green, Blue and Amber) 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.
Grouping options: grouping by individual “cell” and “all” cells. A Color Force 72” fixture
consists of 12 cells and a Color Force 48” fixture consists of 8 cells. “Cell” grouping allows
individual control of each single cell. In “All” grouping, all cells in either the 72” or 48” fixture
can be controlled as 1 group.
Internal FX engine: mode 1, 5, 6 and 10 incorporate internal FX engine with variable parameters
to create an unlimited amount of unique lighting effects.
*Magic Amber is the term used for the unit's ability to bring in amber when mixing colours that require it.
