Source Four LED Profile v1.6.0 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

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 v1.6.0 User Manual

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.

C A U T I O N :

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.

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.

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.

 

 

N o t e :

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 Profile 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, and Studio HD Profile

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.
