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.

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.

Strobe

In most profiles, 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.

Plus 7

Plus 7 adds precision color-control override channels to the HSI, HSIC, RGB, and Studio
profiles. When in one of the above profiles, enabling Plus 7 adds an additional seven
channels to the profile(i.e. a D40XTI fixture in HSI with Plus 7 becomes a 14-channel
profile.) To enable Plus 7, place the Plus 7 Control channel at a value above 51%.

When using Plus 7, the desired color and intensity is selected by using the HSI or RGB
channels as a starting point. From there, the additional seven channels represent an
individual control channel for each of the native LED colors of the fixture and allow you to
adjust each LED color up or down to fine-tune the ov er all color output.

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.

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 (50-100%)
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 (50-0%) will produce no change.

Note:

When Plus 7 is enabled and the individual control channels have been adjusted,
those adjustments continue to apply after choosing a new color mix. For best results,
reset each of the individual control channels to 128 (50%) before choosing a new
initial color mix.

Color Matching

The color output of all Source Four LED Profile 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

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.

This channel immediately follows 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.

When Fan is set to Slow, Fast, or Automatic, there is not a channel designated for 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 deemed necessary by the
fixture, the fan speed may be increased automatically for additional cooling power.

• Fast — Fan runs continuously at its highest and loudest speed, and never increases
automatically.

• Automatic — Fan operation is intermittent and based on the fixture's internally
calculated cooling requirements.

Seven additional color control channels are available in RGB, HSI, and HSIC
input profile settings. For example HSI with ‘Plus 7’ enabled becomes an 15­channel profile:

rapidly as the strobe channel value approaches 100%.

separate master intensity channel. Color
calibration of LEDs is not active in this mode.
The ten-channel profile will produce the highest
quality color cross fades.

Effectively addresses all seven colors via three
channels of control. RGB profile will produce
medium quality color cross-fades

High resolution hue (two channels), saturation,
and intensity control.
HSI mode will produce color cross-fades around
the color space.

High-resolution hue, saturation, and intensity
control as above, with the addition of a color
point channel to adjust the color temperature of
the fixture in both white light and color. Color
cross-fade performance is the same as HSI.

Controls fixture as a white light unit. If no DMX
is present, (i.e. console input), a fixture can be
adjusted for these three parameters on the U/I
at the back of the unit.

The desired color and intensity are achieved by
using the HSI or RGB channels

Placing the Plus7 channel at a value over 51%
gives the fixture additional channels in its profile.

Channels 9-15 represent the native colors of the
fixture and allow the operator to adjust individual
color channels to fine tune the color output.

Data Loss

Data Loss is what happens to the fixture's output when the external control signal (either
DMX or data from the Master fixture in a Master/Slave configuration) is lost. The choices
are as follows:

Instant

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.

Hold last look forever. After data is lost, the fixture maintains its last look until power is
removed from the fixture or control signal is restored. The last look will not be restored after
power has been cycled.

Plus Seven (excluding Daylight and Tungsten)

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 fixture uses 6 channels of control.
Enabling Plus Seven adds another 8 channels to the fixture, for a total of 14 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.

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.

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 changing environmental temperatures, and
applications with high requirements for consistency in extreme operating conditions.

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:

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.

Curve

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.

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.

Rate

Rate is the execution of the Presets' Fade Times and Delay Times within the Sequence,
relative to their settings within the actual Presets. The available Rate range is 2 to 500%.
The default is 100%.

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
seconds would actually be run within the Sequence in 12 seconds.

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.

Master/Slave Operation

When similar fixtures' DMX or data connections are linked to gether and there is no external
DMX signal going to them, one fixture automatically controls all other fixtures in the chain
when a Preset or Sequence 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 or Sequence 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.

About Fixture

The About screen displays the following information. This is a read-only screen.

• The software version number

This calibration process does not measure or recalibrate the light output of the LEDs.
Under normal use, it is not necessary to recalibrate the fixture, and doing so will likely

have no beneficial effect on fixture performance. It is therefore NOT recommended
to recalibrate the fixture without express instruction from an authorized technician.

When adjusting tint via DMX, the range of control on channel 3 is distributed as follows.

DMX Value Tint

000 Neutral white (at the specified white point)
001 Extreme green (approximately 2x plus green)
002 to 127 Moving from green toward neutral white
128 Neutral white

255 Extreme magenta (approximately 2x minus green)

Note:

Additional channels for other functions, such as strobe and Plus 7, can also be activated, if
desired, starting with channel 4.

When using DMX to control the fixture in Studio mode, the default data-loss behavior
is different than in other operational modes. If the DMX signal is lost, the fixture
automatically holds the last look forever (HLL-4ever) and this look persists through
infinite off/on power cycles, until the DMX signal is restored or the fixture settings are
adjusted manually via the User Interface.

Routine Maintenance

To ensure optimum performance of your Source Four LED Profile fixture, you should
perform the following inspections and cleaning at least once a year. You may need to
inspect or clean the fixture more often, depending on the type and amount of use your
fixture experiences during the year.

WARNING:

Allow fixture to cool down completely prior to cleaning.
Disconnect all power and DMX cables prior to cleaning.
Check for excessive dust or debris in the heat-dissipating fins around the

entire fixture enclosure. Clean using compressed air or a soft cloth. Keeping
the components of the enclosure clean facilitates efficient cooling and
extends LED longevity.

NEVER spray liquids into the fixture.
NEVER spray compressed air into a fixture that is powered-up.

Cleaning the Field Lens

The field lens is accessed by removing the shutter barrel from the light engine body.
Use a clean micro-fiber cloth to clean the lens. Isopropyl alcohol may be used on the cloth.

Do not spray the cleaning solution directly onto the lens or the interior of the fixture.
Step 1: Remove the retainer bolt and lens rotation knob.

Do not remove the field lens from the electronics or attempt to disassemble the field
lens. The lens or electronics contain no serviceable parts.

Step 4: Install and tighten the retainer bolt and lens rotation knob.

Inspecting and Cleaning the Electronics

A can of compressed air or oil-free air from an air co mpressor se t at a low setting can

be used to blow through the vent holes and remove dust or other debris from the
interior of the fixture. Dust buildup can cause overheating and premature shutdown.

Remove the secondary lenses (if used) and clean out any dust and debris. All

components, including the secondary lenses, can be cleaned using compressed,
oil-free air as described above or a clean micro-fiber cloth. Isopropyl alcohol may be
used.

Inspect all mounting hardware for wear and, if necessary, clean using compressed,

oil-free air or a soft, lint-free cloth.
