Solaris Flare / Flare Jr. user manual version 9.1 111215
Smart Fade – The Flare will attempt to add smoothness to crossfading DMX values coming from the
lighting controller, but will also allow for very quick change of values where smoothness is not applicable.
Fixed Fade – The fade time for any change in DMX values can be set manually. The timing values can
be set from 0.01 to 2.50 seconds. Use the <Up> and <Down> buttons to change these values.
Gamma – Gamma correction curve selection. This sets direct relation between AC current to the LEDs and the
DMX value. The lower the value, the dimming curve and steps of intensity will be more noticeable at the bottom
of the DMX range. The higher the value, the smoother the bottom end of the curve will be where the human eye
detects more subtle changes.
Gamma 8 – 8-bit rate Gamma correction setup. Color dimming curve values can be set from 1.0 to 5.0.
The default value is 3.0
Gamma 16 – 16-bit rate Gamma correction setup. Each color dimming curve values from 1.0 to 5.0.
The default value is 1.0
Async Strobo – This special mode allows for fast programming and “one-hit” effects (see Strobe Modes section
of Manual). Default is OFF, turn ON to activate.
Upload – Upload software. Designed to cross-load software from one Flare to others in the DMX data chain.
This should not be used when other fixture types are in the data chain. Use of this function will be prompted by
Password. The password is 111.
Line Freq – Line Frequency. Allows adjustment of Flare input power frequency to match local source power for
minimum visual artifacts on camera. The setting depends on region of use and power source. There are two
options: 50Hz and 60Hz. Use the <UP> and <DOWN> buttons to change these values.
Reset – Set factory defaults. Two options: NO and YES. Use the <UP> and <DOWN> buttons to change these
values.
