Congratulations on your purchase of a Desire Series by ETC product.
Desire’s x7 Color System™ seven-hue technology produces a light and color quality that
conventional LED systems cannot duplicate. This unique color system produces bright,
broad-spectrum whites and intense colors equally well, rendering pigments, objects, and
skin tones in a natural way.
Fire and Ice fixtures use elements of the x7 Color System for superior performance in deep
saturated colors.
Studio Daylight and Studio Tungsten fixtures use high-output white LEDs for maximum
brightness and efficacy. Studio Tungsten interacts very well with incandescent sources,
while Studio Daylight easily replaces a variety of HMI lamps and natural sunlight.
Quick Setups
You can use any one of the Quick Setups and fine-tune settings for either console operation
via DMX protocol or standalone operation. For advanced users, an expanded user interface
provides easy navigation to all settings and options.
Vivid, Lustr+, Fire and Ice, Studio HD
Some of the options include:
•Multiple DMX profiles ranging from a simple 3-channel RGB profile to 8-channel native
color and intensity control.
•Multiple dimming curve options.
•Preset colors and sequences for standalone operation.
•White point selection; white light and color behavior based on a specific color
temperature white light such as 3200K or 5600K.

Note About LED Fixtures
All LED sources experience some lessening of light output and some color shift over time.
Desire Series fixtures have complex thermal management systems to minimize these
changes. With typical usage, a Desire fixture will still achieve at least 70% of its initial output
after 50,000 hours of use (B50, L70). In individual situations, LEDs will be used for different
durations and different levels. This can eventually lead to minor alterations in color
performance, necessitating slight adjustment to presets, cues, or programs.
All LEDs may exhibit a slight shift in output as they rise to full operating temperature. Desire
Series fixtures allow the selection of different power settings in order to balance the
competing requirements of thermal stability and brightness. Depending on the selected
setting, changes in output as fixtures warm up may or may not be visible to the eye.
Color Rendering Index and Color Quality Scale Ratings
Desire fixtures are evaluated for Color Rendering Index (CRI) and Color Quality Scale
(CQS) performance using measured output spectrum and optimized mix solutions for a
best spectral match to black body sources at 3200K and 5600K. Color fidelity was also
measured. These numbers may fluctuate slightly from fixture to fixture. This is a normal
characteristic of white LEDs, and this kind of variation is highly unlikely to be apparent in
most applications. The performance is the same for all fixture versions.

Desire luminaires provide excellent color rendering, particularly the color-mixing versions.
A Duv rating of 0.000 indicates that the color mix used was exactly on the black body line,
with no green or magenta tint.
Studio Daylight and Studio Tungsten fixtures use only white-type LEDs at a fixed color
temperature in order to maximize output and efficacy.

Installation Clearances
Cooling and Duty Cycle
Desire D22 and D40 Series fixtures are convection cooled and can operate all channels at
full power continuously in ambient temperatures up to 40°C (104°F). The Desire D60 is
equipped with a cooling fan, which is automatically controlled.
If ambient conditions exceed 40°C (104°F) or fail to allow sufficient airflow, over a long
period of time, the fixtures may shut down and remain off until they return to a safe
operating temperature. The fixtures provide two methods to indicate over temperature that
can be set up on the Local Settings menu. The over temperature indicators are:
Visible
The LED array glows in a dull, low intensity with only some emitters illuminated, the LCD
backlight is turned on, the LCD displays Overtemp Activated, and the Error Indicator light
turns on.
Dark
The LED array turns off and the LCD displays Overtemp Activated. The LCD backlight is
not turned on.
CAUTION:
LED life is adversely affected by high-temperature operation. When operating under
elevated ambient temperatures, avoid turning all channels to 100% for extended periods,
such as channel checks or focusing.
Duty Cycle
Operating the fixtures in higher ambient temperatures or low-airflow situations
may cause the power supply to shut down. Following a cool-down period, the
power supply will automatically reset and the fixture will return to operation.
It is good practice to power down any device with on-board electronics to limit
unnecessary wear on the devices and eliminate residual use of electricity. When
not in use, Desire fixtures should be powered down by disconnecting from power
either at the breaker or by unplugging.

The safety cable (or other approved safety device) should be attached to the fixture housing
and wrapped around the hanging structure (pipe). An appropriate attachment loop is
provided on the protruding tab of the fixture housing. Take care to leave as little slack as
possible in the safety cable to avoid the cable catching the yoke of the fixture.
Figure-2.4 Safety Cable Loop on Fixture Housing.
Fixture Weight
Total weight depends on how the individual fixture is configured.
The Desire series fixture operates on AC power, 100 to 240VAC/50-60Hz. The fixture must
be connected to a non-dimmable power source in order to avoid damage to its internal
power supply and other electrical components.
The Desire series fixtures operate on a DMX control signal or as standalone fixtures. The
fixture is supplied with a 5-pin XLR DMX input connector and a 5-pin DMX Thru connector.
DMX cables should be acceptable for DMX data transmission (not microphone cable) and
should follow the standard pinout. The optional secondary data pair is not used by the
Desire series fixtures. The maximum DMX data run from any DMX source to the last fixture
in a chain is 1000 feet (300m). Termination is required for the D40XT in the data thru port
of the last fixture in each data chain. The D40 and D60 are self-terminated.

Termination
D40XT – The last fixture on a DMX line must be terminated with a 120 ohm resistor
between pins 2 and 3.
D22 – The last fixture on a DMX/RDM line must be terminated with a 120 ohm resistor,
which is accomplished by one of the following.
•Portable – The fixture is self terminated, therefore does not require other termination.
•Canopy – Terminate with the S1 switch on the Termination Board. Set the switch to the
ON position to terminate the last fixture. All others on the DMX/RDM line must be set
to OFF.
•Track Mount – Terminate with a DataTrack DMX Term Block, ETC Part # 7066A1030
installed at end of the track.
Indicator Lights
The indicator lights show the status of power input (blue), DMX input (green) and fixture
errors (red). When the DMX signal is lost, the green indicator flashes.
If the fixture status indicator is configured to Off, the indicator lights will not illuminate. For
more information, see Local Settings, page 73.

DMX Profile
Addressing
Addresses must be set between 1 and 510.
Each Desire fixture must be considered a separate DMX device for the purpose of
DMX line-loading calculations.
DMX line-loading practice dictates that no more than 32 devices can be daisy-chained
together. Consequently, no combination of Desire fixtures totaling more than 32 DMX
devices should be configured in one DMX line. For runs of fixtures totaling more than 32
DMX devices, split the DMX runs by using a DMX splitter.
Note:
Depending on the selected fixture profile and activated features, a fixture with a
starting address higher than 499 may not have control of all parameters, even
though the highest address shown on the user interface is 512.
Addressing is not required for standalone operation.
Note:
When using RDM with D22 track fixtures, ETC recommends connecting no more
than 20 fixtures
on a single run.
Profiles
Desire D22, D40, D40XT fixtures occupy 1 to 14 DMX channels depending on the profile
and which features are turned on. Desire D60 can occupy up to 15 DMX channels
depending on the profile and which features are turned on. The tables below describe the
order and function of each channel.
Vivid, Lustr+, Fire and Ice, and Studio HD Profiles
Direct Control
Direct Control uses one DMX channel per individual color within the LED array for a total of
seven color channels, arranged according to the Color Mixes table. Each controls the
intensity of the color from 0 to 100%. An additional, 8th DMX channel is used as a master
intensity fader for controlling the brightness of the overall fixture. Channel 9 is for strobe
when enabled.

HSI (Hue Saturation Intensity) and HSIC (Hue, Saturation, Intensity, Color
Temperature (White Point))
The HSI profile uses 4 channels of DMX input, corresponding to 16-bit hue (two channels:
coarse and fine), saturation, and intensity. The HSI profile makes Desire fixtures
compatible with conventional HSI console profiles while capitalizing on fixtures' expanded
color capabilities. Channel 5 is for Strobe, when enabled. Also see Color Matching, page
34.
HSIC is similar to HSI, except that it uses an additional 6th channel to control the color
temperature of the white point. White point is the color temperature of the white-light output
when saturation is at zero. The Red Shift function is automatically disabled in the HSIC
profile. The white point address of the D60 occupies a different address. For information
about the D60 DMX footprint, refer to D60 (Vivid, Lustr+, Fire, Ice, Studio HD), page 37.

Shifts in brightness may be perceived during color crossfades in cues and presets.
Studio
The fixture produces only white-type light, which is adjustable from 2700 to 6500K. The
Studio profile uses 3 DMX channels to control Intensity, white point, and tint, (the
green/magenta balance). Tint is adjustable without affecting the white point. All three
control parameters are adjustable via DMX as well as onboard with instant access via UI
buttons (no menus to scroll).
Studio is the default mode for Studio HD fixtures. The Studio profile is also available on all

Strobe
In most profiles (Vivid, Lustr+, Fire and Ice, Studio HD), strobe is assigned to channel 5. It
adds another channel to any of the DMX profiles. Under the Advanced Settings menu, the
strobe function may be disabled and the additional channel for strobe will not be used by
the fixture. With strobe at either DMX value 0 or 255, the fixture output is constantly on. At
DMX 1, the fixture strobes slowly and increases in speed toward DMX 254.
2Installation and User Interface Overview33
Page 40
Plus 7
Plus 7 adds precision color-control channels to the HSI, HSIC, RGB, and Studio profiles.
For example, HSI with Plus 7 enabled becomes a 14-channel (D22, D40, D40XT) or
15-channel (D60) profile. Placing channel 7 at a value over 51% activates the 14- or
15-channel profile within the fixture. The desired color and intensity is achieved by using
the HSI or RGB channels as a starting point. Channels 8 to 14, or 15, represent the native
LED colors of the fixture and allow you to adjust each color up or down in order to fine-tune
the overall color output.
The D60 Plus 7 addresses occupy different addresses. For information about the D60 DMX
footprint, refer to D60 (Vivid, Lustr+, Fire, Ice, Studio HD), page 37.
Note:
Depending on the initial color mix, some LED colors may begin at full intensity.
Moving the individual control channels for these colors from 128 to 255 will
produce no effective change from the initial color mix. Conversely, some LED
colors may begin at zero intensity, and moving individual control channels from
128 to 0 will produce no change.

Color Matching
The color output of all Desire fixtures is calibrated at the factory. When operating in the
RGB, HSI, HSIC, or Studio profile, each fixture makes accommodations for the specific
LEDs in its array and produces output that is consistent with other fixtures, whether or not
they utilize LEDs from the same production batch. Operating in the Direct Control profile or
with Plus 7 settings adjustments bypasses this calibration and multiple fixtures may
produce slightly different outputs when controlled as a group.

Fan Control (D60)
Only the D60 fixtures have a fan. Thus, options for Fan Control are available only on D60
fixtures. The Fan setting allows four options: DMX, Slow, Fast, and Automatic.
With Fan set to DMX, an additional channel of DMX control is added to the fixture profile,
immediately following the channel for Strobe. Control is as follows:
•DMX 0 — Fan turns on and off automatically, as needed for cooling. Fan remains off
when not required by the fixture.
•DMX 1 to 254 — Fan is forced on at a continuously variable speed from low to high.
Occasionally, the fan speed may be increased automatically by the fixture for additional
cooling power when required.
•DMX 255 — Fan is forced on at its highest, loudest speed for maximum consistency of
noise produced by the fixture.
With Fan set to Slow, Fast, or Automatic, there is no channel for fan control within the DMX
profile. At Slow and Fast settings, the fan operates whenever the fixture is powered on,
independent of other fixture settings or control.
•Slow — Fan runs continuously at a low-noise speed. When necessary, the fan speed
may be increased automatically by the fixture for additional cooling power.
•Fast — Fan runs continuously at its highest, loudest speed, which never increases
automatically.
•Automatic — Fan operation is intermittent and based entirely on the fixture's internally
calculated cooling requirements.

As soon as the control signal is lost, the fixture shuts off output and the LED array goes
black.
HLL-2Min
Hold last look for 2 minutes. The fixture retains its last setting for 2 minutes after the control
signal is lost, after which it shuts off output.
Cycling power to the fixture before the 2 minutes have passed will clear the last look and
the LEDs will remain off until control signal is restored.

Plus Seven (Vivid, Lustr+, Fire and Ice, Studio HD)
Plus Seven allows enhanced color-mixing precision when using the RGB, HSI, HSIC, or
Studio profile as a starting point for color selection. Enabling Plus Seven adds another 8
DMX channels of control at the end of the control channels already in use by the fixture. For
example, in the HSIC profile, with Strobe enabled, the D22, D40, D40XT fixtures use 6
channels of control. Enabling Plus Seven adds another 8 channels to the fixture, for a total
of 14 channels of control.
The D60 fixture uses 7 channels of control. With Plus Seven, the total is 15 channels of
control.
The first additional channel is an activation channel for the Plus Seven function. A value of
0 to 50% (DMX 0 to 129) deactivates Plus Seven. A value of 51 to 100% (DMX 130 to 255)
activates Plus Seven. The remaining 7 additional channels correspond to the individual
colors within the fixture's LED array.

Using Plus Seven Control
The following procedure is performed on your lighting console.
Step 1:Select a starting color point for the fixture output using the standard control
channels for RGB, HSI, etc.
Step 2:Set the first additional channel to a value between 51 and 100% to activate Plus
Seven.
Step 3:Refine the fixture output by altering one or more of the 7 individual color
channels.
•The starting point for each color is defined by the original color selection in
step 1.
•The brightness of each color can be increased or decreased from the starting
point to any value between zero and full output.
•Colors already at full output will not change when the Plus 7 channels are
moved up from the starting point, and colors already at zero output will not
change when the Plus 7 channels are moved down from the starting point.
•The starting point on the Plus 7 color channels is 50% control level. If all the
Plus Seven color adjust channels are at 50%, the colors are at the original
colors.

LED Settings
Use the LED Settings menu to adjust fixture performance. From the LED Settings menu,
you can set the following.
•Output
•Curve
•Output Frequency
•Red Shift
•White Point
Once any one of the seven individual color channels is altered from its neutral
starting position, the settings for the original color point may no longer reflect the
actual output of the fixture.
When using RGB, HSI, HSIC, or Studio profile for color selection, each fixture
makes accommodations for the specific LEDs in its array and produces output that
is consistent with other fixtures, whether or not they use LEDs from the same
production batch.
Operating with Plus Seven enabled can override this calibration, and multiple
fixtures may produce slightly different outputs when individual color channels are
altered from their neutral starting points.

Output
Use Output to choose the optimal balance between two competing performance
parameters, maximum brightness and output consistency, by adjusting:
•How much the fixture limits the overall power to the LED array.
•How the fixture reduces output as internal fixture components heat up during use or in
high ambient temperatures.
The output options are as follows:
Regulated
Regulated is a moderately constrained power or brightness with consistent output under
typical use. Power to the LEDs is separately regulated in order to maintain consistent
brightness during the initial fixture warm-up period. This is recommended for most indoor
applications.
Protected
Protected provides the most consistent output possible with the greatest potential for
reduced overall brightness. This is best for outdoor use, changing environmental
temperatures, and applications with high requirements for consistency in extreme operating
conditions.
54Desire Series v1.6.0 User Manual

Boost
Boost provides the brightest possible output, with least guarantee of consistency. This is
best for applications with low duty cycles, loose brightness requirements, or where ambient
temperature is low.

Step 3:With Output selected, press [] to toggle between the options.
Step 4:Press [] or [] to commit the option.
Note:
Curve
In all Output settings, if the fixture gets too warm and internal components
approach unsafe operating temperatures, the total power to the LED array is
gradually reduced and proportionate brightness levels between the various colors
of LEDs are maintained as much as possible in order to preserve the overall color
mix; however, some minor shifts in output may occur. Power continues to ramp
down as much as necessary until internal fixture components return to a safe
temperature. The fixture displays a warning message on the home screen
indicating that power budgeting is in place, showing the percent of total power that
is currently used.
If the fixture exceeds its maximum internal temperature, the fixture enters a cooldown state, stops responding to the control signal, and it shuts down most or all
power to the LED array and displays its over-temperature status according to its
setting for over-temperature warning.
The dimming curve, commonly called curve, is the correlation between the change in the
value of the dimming control signal and the actual change in the fixture's brightness. Curve
is also the extent to which the fixture lags in its response time to the control signal in order
to facilitate smoothness in dimming.
Standard
Standard is a modest curve for intuitive brightness changes at both high and low ends of
the dimming range. Moderate lag in response for good smoothness. It allows quick jumps
in brightness. Suitable for most applications.
Intensity

Incandescent
Exaggerated curve mimics the response of tungsten on a conventional dimmer. Lag is quite

Output Freq
Output Frequency is the frequency in Hz at which the LED array pulses, or blinks, as a
function of Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM). The frequency is adjustable in order to avoid
visible flicker on video and film. When altering the frequency in order to reduce noticeable
flicker on camera, often only a small change is required. The range is 920 to 1500 Hz in
increments of 10. The default value is 1200 Hz.
For high speed exposure or rolling shutter cameras, use the High 25K mode. This increases
the PWM to 25,000 Hz and will result in flicker-free operation in most circumstances. To
access the High 25K, press the up arrow after reaching 1500 Hz in the Output Freq: field.
Changing the frequency from the default value can have a slight impact on the smoothness,
or color-mix consistency, or both when dimming.

A Rate of 100% represents running the Sequence with timing exactly as specified within
the Presets. A Rate above 100% represents running the Sequence with faster timing than
specified within the Presets. For example, with a Rate of 200%, a Preset with a Fade Time
of 6 seconds would actually be run within the Sequence in only 3 seconds.
A Rate below 100% represents running the Sequence with slower timing than specified
within the Presets. For example, with a Rate of 50%, a Preset with a Fade Time of 6

Finishing the Sequence
After each of the steps have been configured, set the End State. End state is what the
fixture does once it completes the Sequence. Two end state options are available and both
options repeat indefinitely until the Sequence is deactivated. To access the end state
options, you must first program an additional and final step within the sequence using
Preset 0. Preset 0 marks the end of the Sequence and opens the End State menu line.
Preset 0 may only be used once within a Sequence. If you want the Sequence to repeat
automatically, you may only define up to 23 steps with Presets 1 through 24, since the final
step must be reserved for Preset 0.
Loop
Once the fixture completes the entire sequence, it immediately returns to the beginning and
starts the sequence over again, in order.
Bounce
Once the fixture completes the entire sequence, it reverses the order of the presets and
steps backward through them until reaching the starting step, at which point it starts the
Sequence over again, in the original order.

Master/Slave Operation
When similar fixtures' DMX or data connections are linked together and there is no external
DMX signal going to them, one fixture automatically controls all other fixtures in the chain
when a Preset, Sequence, or Quick Color is initiated.
Master
Master is the one fixture that controls all fixtures in the daisy chain. By default, it is
whichever fixture had its Preset, Sequence, or Quick Color selected or adjusted most
recently. The Master fixture can only control Slave fixtures to produce identical output at the
same time as itself. The Master fixture cannot control Slave fixtures to operate individually
or to run chase-type or time-offset sequences.
Changes and edits to Presets or Sequences that are made to the Master fixture may be
copied to the internal memory of all Slave fixtures for later use when these fixtures are
disconnected from the data daisy chain.
When operating as the Master fixture, the fixture displays Master on its home screen.
