Furthermore, holding down the OK button
or Rotary Knob for two seconds on the in-
tensity parameter lets you increase or de-
crease the intensity by quarter, half or a full
light stops.*
The whole dimming range is flicker free on
all DS systems products.
For ease of access it is also possible to
change the intensity using the rotary knob
when the “COLOR” or “SETUP” page of the
color menu is highlighted.
*Intensity is the only parameter with two sets of presets.
3. Temperature (TEMP) – also known as
white balance, is expressed in KELVIN units
(K). It refers to the color temperature of
the light. The lowest setting will give the
warmest light, which is 1500 Kelvin. The
maximum setting is 10,000 Kelvin, which
will give the coldest light.
Temperature presets, are as follows: 1500,
3200, 5600 and 10000 K. Using the twist
knob will allow increment changes of 100K.
4. Saturation (SAT) - is the amount of col-
or mixed into the white light. It is also ex-
pressed in percentages, but it can go from
-120 to 120%.
The SAT parameter has the possibility of
reaching 120% both in the negative and
positive sides. It means an absolute max-
imum of saturation, but be advised the
area over 100% is outside of the sRGB color
space.
When the saturation is at 120% positive
or negative the HUE color is dominant
and changing the temp of the white color
(TEMP) will show no effect on the light.
Saturation presets are: -120%, -100%,
-50%, 0%, 50%, 100%, 120%.
5. Hue - Is the tint of color you are mixing
into the light. It is expressed in degrees
that refer to the color wheel. The Degree
defines the direction of color on the color
wheel, and SAT defines how much of that
color is being used/mixed with the “white
color” (TEMP), white being in the middle of
the color wheel. The default is 120 degrees,
which means Green on the top end (when
saturation is 100% or higher) and Magenta
at the bottom (when saturation is -100% or
lower).*
