Icecolor menu

LUMINOSITY Modes:

This menu allow to adjust the luminosity of the device.
There are 2 distinct modes in ICECOLOR:
ENTERTAINMENT Mode:
This Mode allow to gain the best from the device's light
output power, depending on the outdoor temperature
conditions. When the ICECOLOR is cold, the available power
is at a maximum. If the temperature increases too much,
the ICECOLOR will gradually reduce its power to guarantee
its thermal regulation. This Mode is recommended for
temporary events where the light output of the ICECOLOR
must be optimum.
ARCHITECTURAL Mode:
This Mode guarantees a stability of the device's luminous
flux, in return for a less high luminous flux than for the
'Entertainment' Mode. This mode is recommended in the
context of fixed-place installations of the ICECOLOR where
the consistency of the flux is important. It is also advisable to
use this Mode in the case where the ICECOLOR is very often
set at values close to 100% of its power.

CONSTANT COLOR Mode:

This menu allow to regulate the consistency of the colour
generated by the ICECOLOR.
This mode makes it possible to avoid the phenomenon of a
gradual deterioration in colour observed generally on projectors
equipped with LED light sources, which occurs when the device
heats.
This Mode can be activated or deactivated in the ICECOLOR,
which produces the following effects:
CONSTANT COLOR ON Mode :
In this Mode, the device's internal software automatically
compensates for the phenomenon of the deterioration of
the colorimetry which occurs when the device becomes hot
with use, thus preserving the colours adjusted when this
was cold. In return, when the CONSTANT COLOR Mode is
activated, the device's general luminosity is likely to reduce.
This Mode is recommended when the device is intended
to light up a given target in a preset colour (or with a slow
change of colour) together with other projectors of the same
type for a long period. By nature, this mode is particularly
suited to the constraints of Architectural lighting.
CONSTANT COLOR OFF Mode:
The function is deactivated and no compensation of
colorimetry depending on the temperature is activated. The
quantity of light available with ICECOLOR is maximum when
this function is deactivated, but the nature of the colours
configured on the device is likely to deteriorate when the
device heats (this is because the Red LEDs significantly
lose efficiency as the temperature increases). This traditional

mode is recommended for event lighting and the majority of
temporary lighting uses, where the maximum quantity of light
is favoured.

AUTO Modes :

This menu offers several functionalities which allow to use the
ICECOLOR without DMX lighting controller.
It is possible to drive the ICECOLOR directly from its integrated
control panel, while using one of the two integrated AUTO
Modes. It is therefore possible to configure the projector light
output to a static colour, or also to activate a variation of a pre-
recorded dynamic colour whose transition speed is adjustable
(via the CONFIG menu).
The triggering of one of these AUTO Modes can be parameterised
(via the ACTIVATE Menu).
CONFIG
This menu allow to adjust the light levels of the STATIC AUTO
Mode, or to regulate the passing speed of the DYNAMIC
AUTO Mode.
Important: the last Autonomous Mode modified or selected
by the user will be triggered by the ACTIVATE Menu.
STATIC Mode
This menu makes it possible to adjust a static colour on
the device.
The intensity of each colour present on the device can
be adjusted separately and a general Dimmer makes
it possible to adjust the general level of the device's
luminosity. The principle of this menu involves successively
adjusting the level of each of these colours of available
LEDs in order to obtain the final colour desired and then to
adjust the general Dimmer.
DYNAMIC Mode
This menu allow to adjust the passing speed and the level
of intensity of a colour variation cycle evolving in a dissolve
(progressive mix of colours among themselves) which has
been preset in the factory. The pre-programmed colour
variation cycle is as follows:
RED >> YELLOW >> GREEN >> CYAN >> BLUE >>
MAGENTA >> RED ...
ACTIVATE
This menu allow to define the triggering mode of the last
AUTO Mode (Static or Dynamic) selected or adjusted on
the device. 4 different options are proposed, offering the
following characteristics:
OFF
(INACTIVE triggering)
No triggering of an AUTO Mode, or cancels the previously
set triggering.
RUN (MANUAL triggering)
Launches the AUTO Mode manually, and up to the
ICECOLOR has been switched off, or the AUTO Mode
triggering option has been modified by the user.
The ICECOLOR can not be controlled thru DMX when set
in this Mode.
