SHAPESHIFTER User Manual 39 CHAPTER 4 DMX Programming Color Parameters Each Module of a SHAPSHIFTER fixture is composed of three groups of LEDs In SHAPESHIFTER C1 fixtures these are colored LEDs When they are all set at the same intensity level they project as white In SHAPESHIFTER Wi fixtures the LEDs are still grouped but are all white The LED Red LED Green and LED Blue parameters control the saturation brightness level of each group of LEDs on a Module Values for each color parameter range from Off when the DMX value 0 to fully On when the DMX value 255 Reduced Protocol controls all the modules as a unit For example intensity set for one LED group will affect that group on each module Enhanced Protocol gives you control of each group of LEDs on a module independant of other modules The Mix Color Function parameter offers multiple options for controlling the LED color mixing and output In Enhanced protocol mode there is a Mix Color Function for each module ee Description RGB 0 15 Mixes Red Green and Blue CMY 16 31 Mixes inverse of RGB Red Cyan Green Magenta Blue Yellow Cycle 32 47 Cycles through all the colors Red channel controls cycle speed from slow to fast Random 48 63 Randomly selects color Red channel controls intervals from slow to fast Note Mix Color Function parameters work the same for SHAPESHIFTER W fixtures but create effects in all white
