3 channel HSI (Hue, Saturation and Intensity) gives 2 colour channels for hue and saturation and a separate intensity
channel. A separate definable intensity channel is particularly useful when creating intensity chases or
when the grand master is used. The hue channel has 255 different colours available and the saturation
channel specifies the saturation level of that colour. The saturation channel is fully saturated at full.
White is achieved with the intensity channel to full and the saturation channel at zero.
3 channel RGB (Red, Green, Blue with *Magic Amber) is the more traditional way of controlling colour changing LED
fixtures. Each of the three control channels directly affects the intensity of the corresponding LED.
Colour is mixed by adjusting the levels of the three primary colours. White is achieved with all channels
at full including *Magic Amber.
1 intensity channel
(Red, Green, Blue with *Magic Amber and Intensity) gives 3 control channels directly affecting the
intensity of the corresponding LED – Red, Green, Blue with *Magic Amber, and 1 channel affecting the
intensity of all RGB(A) channels.
4 channel RGBA (Red, Green, Blue and Amber) gives 4 control channels directly affecting the intensity of the
corresponding LED – Red, Green, Blue and Amber. Color is mixed by adjusting the levels of each of the
four colors. White is achieved with all channels at full.

• In “All” grouping, all fixtures connected to a power supply can be controlled as 1 group.
