The COLOR setting determines how the COLORado™ 2 Zoom Tour generates the white color based on various RGB settings.
1. Go to the SET main level.
2. Select COLR.
3. Select OFF, RGBW, or UC.
OFF: When all the RGB faders are set to 255, the output is maximum, although the resulting white color may not be balanced.
RGBW: When all the RGB faders are set to 255, the resulting output is defined by
the configured White color (see Whites Calibration ).
UC: When all the RGB faders are set to 255, the output matches that of less efficient products (Universal Color).
This setting determines how fast the output of the COLORado™ 2 Zoom Tour changes when you modify the values of the Red, Green, Blue, White, and Dimmer faders. This setting provides four different options to simulate the dimming curve of an incandescent lighting product.
1. Go to the SET main level.
2. Select DIMMER.
3. Select a dimmer curve (OFF, DIM1, DIM2, DIM3, or DIM4).
OFF: The output is proportional (linear) to the Dimmer and RGBW channel values.
DIM1~4: The output follows the Dimmer and RGBW channel values based on the corresponding dimmer curve, being DIM1 the fastest and DIM4 the slowest.
This setting enables you to activate or disable the control panel lock, which keeps nonauthorized personnel from changing the product’s settings.
