iv Source Four LED Profile v1.7.0 User Manual

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a Source Four LED Profile by ETC product.
Source Four LED Profile’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.

Daylight and Tungsten fixtures use high-output white LEDs for maximum brightness and
efficacy. Tungsten interacts very well with incandescent sources, while 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.

Lustr+ and Series 2 Lustr

Some of the options include:

• Multiple DMX profiles ranging from a simple 3-channel RGB profile to 8-channel direct
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.

• Loss-of-data behavior options.

• Power regulation modes; three output options that offer a choice between maximum
light output for lower duty cycles and maximum thermal stability and output consistency
for higher duty cycles.

Studio HD, Series 2 Daylight HD, and Series 2 Tungsten HD

• Balanced with x7 Color System for a spectrally rich, variable white light.

• Color temperatures from 2700K to 6500K.

• Onboard +/- green adjustment.

• Preset colors and sequences for stand-alone operation.

• Multiple dimming curve options.

• Power regulation modes; three output options that offer a choice between maximum
light output for lower duty cycles and maximum thermal stability and output consistency
for higher duty cycles.

Note About LED Fixtures

All LED sources experience some lessening of light output and some color shift over time.
Source Four LED Profile fixtures have complex thermal management systems to minimize
these changes. With typical usage, a Series 1 fixture will still achieve at least 70% of its
initial output after 50,000 hours of use (B50, L70). A Series 2 fixture will achieve 70% of its
initial output after 25,000 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. Source
Four LED Profile 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

Source Four LED Profile 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.

Source Four LED Profile luminaires provide excellent color rendering, particularly the color­mixing 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.

Daylight and 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

Source 4 LED fixtures are fan cooled and can operate all channels at full power
continuously in ambient temperatures up to 40°C (104°F).

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.

Power and Data Cabling Requirements

Power

The Source 4 LED 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.

WARNING:

Data

The Source 4 LED 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
Source 4 LED fixtures. The maximum DMX data run from any DMX source to the last fixture
in a chain is 1000 feet (300m). Source 4 LED fixtures are self-terminated.

See DMX Profile, page 23 for additional information on DMX addressing of Source Four
LED Profile fixtures.

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.
Dimming will damage the fixture and void the warranty.

DMX Profile

Addressing

Addresses must be set between 1 and 510.

Each Source Four LED Profile 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 Source Four LED Profile 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.

Profiles

Source Four LED and Source Four LED Series 2 fixtures occupy 1 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.

Lustr+, Series 2 Lustr, Series 2 Daylight HD, Series 2 Tungsten HD, and Studio HD

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.

Terminology:

• White Point - The color temperature of a white light when saturation is at zero%.

• Tint - The balance between green and magenta within a fixture.

HSI and HSIC:

The HSI profile (Hue, Saturation, Intensity) uses four channels of DMX input, corresponding
to 16-bit hue (two channels: coarse and fine), saturation, and intensity. The HSI profile
makes Source Four LED Profile 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 26.

The HSIC profile (Hue, Saturation, Intensity, Color Temperature (White Point)) is similar to
HSI, except that it uses an additional sixth channel to control the color temperature of the
white point. The Red Shift function is automatically disabled in the HSIC profile.
