Pipes and Controlbox The Pipes has a color temperature of 3200, 4300 or 5600K The 4 Banks have 4 Pipes, that comes as either 4 x 3200K (Fixed), 4 x 4300K (Fixed), 4 x 5600K (Fixed) or 2 x 3200K + 2 x 5600K (Tweaking) B.
D. Modes (can be set in the menu under Mode/Resolution:) CCT 8bit - Color Tweak from 3200K - 5600K (Can be selected for any Pipeline 4 Bank, but only works for Pipeline 4 Bank Tweaking) (4300K and unknown tubes will not switch on when using CCT mode.) CCT 16bit - High Resolution Intensity and Color Tweak from 3200K - 5600K (Can be selected for any Pipeline 4 Bank, but only works for Pipeline 4 Bank Tweaking) (4300K and unknown tubes will not switch on when using CCT mode.
Manual operation (No DMX connected) The way the manual operation works is dependent on the resolution setting. If set to All 8 / All 16 When the Pipeline 4 Bank is switched on the display will show the light level e.g. “ 0” Use the UP and DOWN buttons to set the desired light level. The level will be autosaved after 10 seconds, indicated by display readout “SAVED” or can be saved instantly by pressing ENTER after setting the light level.
DMX Operation: Starting up: At start up, display reads out the DMX address. When a DMX cable is connected and the Pipeline 4 Bank receives a valid DMX signal from a DMX controller, the unit will indicate that DMX is being received by turning on the DMX present indicator in the display. (See Introduction) If a unit is started up without DMX present it will start up in manual mode, but will switch to DMX mode as soon as a DMX signal is detected.
