SECTION 1-A

ABOUT PROFILES & MODES

The Chroma dimmer includes three profiles, each with its own advanced modes.

Moving the three-position slide switch on the rear panel of the dimmer selects one of three different profiles – HYBRID, RGBW, or RGBA.

Once a profile is selected, several modes become available, that are specific to that particular profile. Setting the three-position rocker switch on the front panel to the ‘ON’ position turns the dimmer on in the normal Compensated mode for the respective profile. Setting the rocker switch down to the ‘ALT’ position, accesses one of several advanced modes. See the tables below for detailed descriptions of each profile’s specific modes.

The RGBW profile allows for better desaturation of color with a dedicated white channel while the RGBA profile adds a dedicated amber channel to hue, resulting in an increased range of resolution in the orange and yellow hue ranges. Before changing profiles, the three-position rocker switch must be in the ‘OFF’ position!

SECTION 2-A

HYBRID PROFILE – Compensated (2-Circuit)

Mode: Compensated (2-Circuit)
Indicator Light: Yellow

This mode ensures that the selected brightness of the LEDs does not change even if the Kelvin temperature changes after setting the brightness. Two separate Hybrid fixtures or circuits can be controlled independently of each other. The indicator light on the front panel will be yellow.

To access this mode:
1. Set the three-position slide switch on the rear panel to the HYBRID position.
2. Set the three-position rocker switch to the up ‘ON’ position.

SECTION 2-B

HYBRID PROFILE – Overdrive (2-Circuit)

Mode: Overdrive (2-Circuit)
Indicator Light: Alternating Yellow/White

This mode provides the absolute maximum output for a desired Kelvin temperature. Two separate Hybrid fixtures or circuits can be controlled independently of each other. The indicator light on the front panel will be alternating yellow and white.

To check the mode:
1. Set the three-position slide switch on the rear panel to the HYBRID position.
2. Set the three-position rocker switch to the ‘ALT’ position. The indicator light should be
alternating yellow/white. If the indicator light is flashing yellow/white the dimmer is ready. If not, follow the steps below.

To access this mode:
1. Place the three-position rocker switch to the center ‘OFF’ position.
2. Turn the ‘LEVEL’ knob counterclockwise until it stops.
3. Press and hold the ‘LOCAL TRIGGER BUTTON’ until the indicator light begin flashing green rapidly
(Alternatively, you may use the ‘REMOTE TRIGGER’ instead of the ‘LOCAL TRIGGER
BUTTON’)
4. Turn the ‘LEVEL’ knob clockwise until the indicator light changes to alternating
yellow/white flashing.
5. Confirm selection by depressing the LOCAL TRIGGER BUTTON again until the LED
indicator begins flashing green rapidly.
6. Set the three-position rocker switch to the down ‘ALT’ position.
7. The dimmer is ready and set to the Hybrid Profile in Overdrive (2-Circuit) Mode.

To check the mode:
1. Set the three-position slide switch on the rear panel to the HYBRID position.
2. Set the three-position rocker switch to the ‘ALT’ position. The indicator light should be alternating
yellow/blue. If the indicator light is flashing yellow/blue the dimmer is ready. If not, follow the steps below.

yellow/blue flashing.
5. Confirm selection by depressing the LOCAL TRIGGER BUTTON again until the LED
indicator begins flashing green rapidly.
6. Set the three-position rocker switch to the down ‘ALT’ position.

To check the mode:
1. Set the three-position slide switch on the rear panel to the HYBRID position.
2. Set the three-position rocker switch to the ‘ALT’ position. The indicator light should be alternating
yellow/cyan. If the indicator light is flashing yellow/cyan the dimmer is ready. If not, follow the steps below.

5. Confirm selection by depressing the LOCAL TRIGGER BUTTON again until the LED indicator begins flashing
green rapidly.
6. Set the three-position rocker switch to the down ‘ALT’ position.

1. Place the three-position rocker switch to the center ‘OFF’ position.
2. Turn the ‘LEVEL’ knob counterclockwise until it stops.
3. Press and hold the ‘LOCAL TRIGGER BUTTON’ until the indicator light begins
flashing green rapidly. (Alternatively, you may use the ‘REMOTE TRIGGER’ instead
of the ‘LOCAL TRIGGER BUTTON’)
4. Turn the ‘LEVEL’ knob clockwise until the indicator light changes to alternating
yellow/magenta flashing.
5. Confirm selection by depressing the LOCAL TRIGGER BUTTON again until the LED
indicator begins flashing green rapidly.
6. Set the three-position rocker switch to the down ‘ALT’ position.
7. The dimmer is ready and set to the Hybrid Profile in Paparazzi Mode.
8. Pressing the LOCAL TRIGGER BUTTON (Alternatively, you may use the ‘REMOTE TRIGGER’ instead of the
‘LOCAL TRIGGER BUTTON’) will flash the LED load on and according to the position of the ‘LEVEL’ knob.

To adjust the fade time or decay while on the Hybrid Profile only:
1. The decay time of the Paparazzi flash effect can be adjusted by turning the ‘HUE FINE’ knob. Setting the knob
fully counterclockwise provides the fastest decay while turning the knob fully clockwise provides the slowest
decay.

SECTION 2-F

HYBRID PROFILE – Fire

Mode: Fire
Indicator Light: Alternating Yellow/Orange

This mode allows for the LOCAL TRIGGER BUTTON or the REMOTE TRIGGER to initiate a fire effect with adjustable flicker speed (see “Adjusting Fife Effects Parameters” below). The indicator light on the front panel will be alternating yellow and orange.

To check the mode:
1. Set the three-position slide switch on the rear panel to the HYBRID position.
2. Set the three-position rocker switch to the ‘ALT’ position. The indicator light should be alternating yellow/orange. If the indicator light is flashing yellow/orange the dimmer is ready. If not, follow the steps below.

To access this mode:
1. Place the three-position rocker switch to the down ‘ALT’ position.
2. Turn the ‘LEVEL’ knob counterclockwise until it stops.
3. Press and hold the ‘LOCAL TRIGGER BUTTON’ until the indicator light begins flashing green rapidly. (Alternatively, you may use the ‘REMOTE TRIGGER’ instead of the ‘LOCAL TRIGGER BUTTON’)
4. Turn the ‘LEVEL’ knob clockwise until the indicator light changes to alternating yellow/orange flashing.
5. Confirm selection by depressing the LOCAL TRIGGER BUTTON again until the LED indicator begins flashing green rapidly.
6. Set the three-position rocker switch to the down ‘ALT’ position.
7. The dimmer is ready and set to the Hybrid Profile in Fire Mode.

There are two settings within the Fire Effect that can be adjusted:
1. The first parameter is the threshold of the output, or brightness ratio, between the highest and the lowest brightness levels. Because the high brightness point is always live and adjustable during the effect playback, only the “low” threshold needs to be set, which locks in the ratio between high and low brightness.
2. The second parameter is the speed of the fire flicker. You may choose between “barely noticeable” to “very rapid.”

Adjusting Fire Effect Parameters in the Hybrid Profile Only:
1. Use the ‘HUE-COARSE” knob to adjust the threshold of the output. Fully counterclockwise yields the most dramatic fire effect while fully clockwise yields the subtlest fire effect.
2. Use the ‘HUE-FINE’ knob to adjust the speed of the fire flicker. Fully counter-clockwise yields the slowest flicker while fully clockwise yields the fastest flicker.

“AAAAND ACTION!” Cueing

After setting the fade time, this cueing function allows for your LiteRibbon, LiteMat, LiteTile, or LiteStix to be brought up on or off on cue. To achieve this effect, follow the steps listed below:

1. Set the Kelvin temperature and intensity (Hybrid profile) or the hue, desaturation, and intensity (RGBW and RGBA profiles) to the desired levels.
2. Press and hold the LOCAL TRIGGER BUTTON. (Alternatively, you may use the REMOTE TRIGGER instead of the LOCAL TRIGGER BUTTON.)
3. When the cue is given, release the LOCAL TRIGGER, and your LEDs will fade on or off (with the set fade time) to or from the desired brightness.

This feature is not available in any of the Paparazzi modes.

Advanced Note:

After adjusting the fire parameters in either the RGBW or RGBA profiles,

the effective range of the knobs used for adjustment becomes more limited. For example, when you use the ‘HUE-FINE’ knob to adjust the threshold of the output by turning it clockwise to ¼ of the total travel,the effective range of the knob is now ¼ to full CW. To regain the full resolution of the knob, rotate the knob counterclockwise past the point used to set the parameter(s).
