Frequently Asked Questions - Silk 220 Rosco

How do I set the DMX address on the Silk 220?

Press the MODE/SELECT button until the DMX base address flashes. Rotate the right-hand knob to select a value (001-511). Push the button again to confirm, or wait for timeout. The fixture uses 2 channels (8-bit) or 3 channels (16-bit).

Can the Silk 220 be powered by batteries?

Yes. Remove the AC power supply cradle and replace with an optional V-Mount or Anton/Bauer battery plate. Ensure battery voltage is 24 VDC. For 12V batteries, use double battery adaptors. The fixture requires a battery with a continuous current rating of at least 9A for full output.

How do I change the color temperature?

Rotate the right-hand knob on the control panel. The display shows the current CCT (2800K-6500K). Push the knob to cycle through seven presets: 2900K, 3200K, 3600K, 4300K, 5000K, 5600K, 6500K. DMX control on channel 2 also adjusts CCT.

What is the difference between 8-bit and 16-bit dimming?

8-bit dimming uses 1 channel for intensity (256 steps). 16-bit uses 2 channels (coarse and fine) for 65,536 steps, providing smoother dimming. Select via menu option 1.1 or 1.2.

How do I use wireless DMX?

Set the DMX mode to wireless (rAd) via menu option 2.2. Ensure a compatible CRMX transmitter is used. The fixture has an internal antenna; an external SMA antenna can be attached. To link, select 'Loc' (locked) or 'UnL' (unlink) in menu 7.

What safety precautions should I take?

The fixture contains strong magnets on the front face. Keep at least 12 inches away from credit cards and pacemakers. Use a safety cable when hanging overhead. Allow fixture to cool before servicing. Do not obstruct ventilation. Only use indoors (IP20). Max surface temperature 185°F (85°C), keep 4 inches from flammable materials.

How do I update the firmware?

Power off the fixture. Connect a USB cable from the port under the electronics pod to a PC. Hold the DMX/MODE/SELECT button and power on. Release when the fixture appears as a drive. Delete the old firmware.bin file, copy the new one, safely eject, then cycle power.

Why is my DMX indicator LED not lighting up?

Check that a DMX cable is connected and the console is powered. Verify the DMX address is correct. If using wireless, ensure the fixture is in wireless DMX mode and linked. Also check for bad cables or termination issues (though the fixture is self-terminating).

Can I use the Silk 220 as a master to control other fixtures?

Yes. In menu 2.3, set DMX mode to 'Con' (Master). The fixture will send DMX data on its DMX Out port. All wired slaves should have the same base address. The master's front panel controls will adjust all fixtures.

How do I clean and maintain the fixture?

Disconnect power and allow to cool. Wipe the exterior with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners. Check cables and connectors for damage. Ensure ventilation slots are clear. Store in a dry place between -4°F and 140°F (-20°C to 60°C).

8 OR 16 BIT DIMMING CONTROL OPTION

DMX dimming is now possible in 8 bit or 16 bit mode. 8 bit dimming uses one channel of DMX and therefore the only possible resolution is 256 discrete steps. With 16 bits a fixture can have 65536 steps. Whilst it would be impossible for the human eye or a camera set up to discern all the steps it does provide potential for smoother dimming. When it 16 bit mode, Silk uses 3 channels of DMX; dimming coarse, dimming fine, CCT.

1.1 8 bit dimming

1.2 16 bit dimming

CHOICE OF THREE DMX MODES

- Standard DMX (StA)

In standard DMX mode, Silk uses 2 channels of DMX to control intensity and colour temperature and also conforms to Last Takes Precedence Protocol so 'on set' or 'desk control' can modify settings on the fixture. Silks can be daisy chained with 5 pin XLR connectors.

- Wireless DMX (rAd)

This mode allows the fixture to be controlled via wireless DMX with the Lumen Radio wireless module. When in wireless DMX mode, Silk can still be daisy chained to other fixtures not in wireless mode.

NOTE: The Lumen Radio chip offers over-the-air firmware upgrades, as well as a UF.L connector for external antenna. TiMo is fully compliant with the ETSI EN 300328 (v1.8.1) '2015' revision, as well as fully FCC certified with a modular approval to 300mW. The chip is fully compatible with all existing CRMX transmitters, as well as transmitters from Wireless Solution running in G2, G3, G4 or G4S 2.4GHz mode, enabling a single wireless component to maximize compatibility within fixtures.

- Silk is DMX master (Con)

In this mode, a Silk can control other Silk's on set with common base address. That way in a small wired set up, one with limited crew, the overall light level or CCT can be adjusted from one master unit.

NOTE: When the Silk is in wireless mode, also behaves as a wired master; other fixtures wired downstream will receive DMX. So a wireless Silk can act as a hub.

2.1 Standard DMX

2.2 Wireless DMX

2.3 Silk is DMX Master (Controlling)

CHOICE OF FOUR DIMMING CURVES

• Linear (Lin) In Linear mode an address of 127 = 50% Dim. Because single channel DMX is only 8 bit (0-255), the lower end of the Dim curve has the same increment as the higher end.
• Square law (Squ) A square law curve applies a multiple derived from the square root of the control level (with full output equal to 1.00) to increase voltage response at low control levels to compensate for the infrared loss in a tungsten fixture.
• S curve Greater resolution at low end and high end, compressed in the middle
• Tungsten (CCt) Tungsten emulates the CCT shift seen as traditional tungsten fixtures are dimmed. Tungsten mode works at all colour temperatures and starts warming up when dimming below 50%. A "t" will appear on the LED display after the colour temperature as the CCT displayed will no longer be an accurate reflection of output.

NOTE: Some desks designed for LED fixtures have curves built in. It is important to ensure that your Silk fixture is in linear mode when imposing an additional curve from a desk to avoid compound and confusing output performance.

3.1 Linear

3.2 Square law

3.3 'S' curve 3.4 Tungsten

CHOICE OF TWO COLOR PROFILES

Standard has the CCT relate to a percentage on the DMX board in 1% steps, i.e. 100K

$$ 0 - 28 \% = 2800 \mathrm{K} $$

$$ 32 \% = 3200 \mathrm{K} $$

$$ 50 \% = 5000 \mathrm{K} $$

$$ 65\% - 100\% = 6500K $$

Linear mode has the CCT divided equally on channel 2 from

$$ 0 = 2 8 0 0 \mathrm{K} $$

$$ 1 0 0 = 6 5 0 0 \mathrm{K} $$

4.1 Standard

4.2 Linear

SELECT STANDARD OR FLAT OUTPUT MODE

Flat mode ensures light output is constant at all colour temperatures. In this mode as you move towards 6500K, the output will stay the same. (in other modes it will increase).

5.1 Standard

Standard mode maximises output at the middle and cold end of the CCT range

5.2 Flat

Flat mode maintains level output at all color temperatures. This comprises output at the cold end of the spectrum.

SELECT INTERNAL/EXTERNAL ANTENNA

Sets the wireless antenna to internal or external optional antenna. The unit does not come supplied with the external antenna but does have a SMA connector to attach it to.

6.1 Internal 6.2 External

ABILITY TO UNLINK THE WIRELESS OR LEAVE LOCK LINKED

7.1 Wireless transmitter lock linked

72 Unlink wireless

RETURN TO DEFAULT SETTINGS

To return all settings to standard defaults – hold down the MODE SELECT button while switching the unit on. All defaults will be selected.

CHOICE OF TWO COLOR PROFILES

Standard In standard mode CCT is segmented to match percentage set on the DMX desk, thus 50% or 127 = 5000K, 32% = 3200K. This enables users with simple desks to have a clear idea of what CCT to expect from the luminaire.

Linear In Linear mode an address of 127 = 4645K. Because single channel DMX is only 8 bit (0-255), the lower end of the Dim curve has the same increment as the higher end.

DMX OPERATION

Silk LED fixtures can be operated via DMX512 protocol using the standard 5-pin DMX In and DMX Out connectors on the Rear Control Panel or by wireless using a Lumen Radio wireless transmitter. Once DMX is connected to the Silk fixture via the 'DMX In' port, it can be controlled by a DMX console. When a valid DMX signal is detected, the Blue Indicator LED will illuminate. The 'DMX Out' connector allows other DMX enabled fixtures to be daisy-chained together.

When Silk is in Master mode, the Blue Indicator will flash and a "c" for control will be displayed on the display.

When Silk is in wireless DMX mode, it will feed DMX on the OUT connector but cannot have a wired input. Silk can therefore be used as a wireless hub, distributing DMX to wired fixtures that do not have wireless capability.

NOTE: Silk LED fixtures are self-terminating and do not require external DMX termination.

DMX Control uses two channels in 8 bit dimming mode and 3 channels in 16 bit mode:

• DMX Channel 1 = Output (Dimming) Intensity (DMX value 0 - 255 = level 0 - 100%)
• DMX Channel 2 = CCT Color Temperature (DMX value 0 = 2800K, 255 = 6500K)

NOTE: Silk uses LTP (Last Takes Precedence) protocol. LTP is a handy way of controlling intelligent lighting parameters that relate to intensity or color mixing. It you need a color wheel to change from tungsten to daylight, or dimmer position change, you want it to happen as you expect. This allows manual override 'on set' even if the fixture is being run back to the board on set or in the gallery. LTP control channels send the latest instruction to an intelligent fixture parameter and nothing changes until it sends another one on that channel.

Silk LED fixtures use industry standard 5-Pin XLR male and female connectors to receive DMX signals and output DMX signals.

The DMX Pin wiring is as follows: • Pin 1: Ground

• Pin 2: Data -
• Pin 3: Data +
• Pin 4: Spare
• Pin 5: Spare

RUNNING MULITPLE WIRELESS UNITS

In a controlled radio environment multiple parallel universes should be possible, however it is best to always confirm operation and response to input signals in such environments.

When running multiple universes, it is recommended to use Lumen Radio TX2 units instead of doubling up on single universe TX units. The two radio modules inside the TX2 are synchronized so that they consume less frequency space than two single universe TX units.

Should single TX units be used, keep them physically separated by at least 6" (15 cm) so as to avoid crosstalk.

For further details on wireless transmitters go to: https://www.lumenradio.com

SETTING THE DMX ADDRESS

Push the MODE/SELECT Button and the DMX base address in the upper right corner of the display will flash. Rotate the right-hand knob to the desired DMX base address (001 to 511). Once the desired address has been selected, push the DMX set button and the display will move onto the next menu option. The display will time out after a few seconds and revert to home screen. Alternately six pushes on the mode button will scroll through other options and return to the home screen. Silk LED fixtures utilize 2 channels per fixture in 8 bit dimming and 3 channels in 16 bit dimming. Other, subsequent DMX addresses should be offset by 2 or 3.

Silk DMX color mapping in standard/default mode has been designed to enable easy access of color temperatures from simple or older DMX control boards. The color temperature relates directly to the percentage on the desk, such that if Channel 2, (base channel + 1), on the desk is at 30%, the color temperature will be at 3000K. In the optional linear color profile, 0% = 2800K and 100% = 6500K interim equal steps are 15K.

SILK® 210 RUNNING ON DC SOURCES

Silk 210 is designed to run on any voltage between 13V - 36VDC.

For optimal performance run Silk 210 on an AC transformer.

A second option is to run it on 24 V DC source, either with a block battery or with the Silk Double V-lock adaptor (BB-VLO-2X) or Double AB adaptor (BB-AB-2X).

The third option is to run on one 12V battery using the V-lock or Anton/Bauer adaptor plate (BB-SIL-VLOCP or BB-SIL-ABCP). In this situation, it is advised to use the highest capacity battery available. High capacity and heavy duty V-locks and Anton/Bauer batteries are available and High Draw versions are available from some manufacturers such as Hawk-Woods.

At full output, Silk 210 can pull up to 9A as the battery voltage reduces, therefore it is advised to select a battery that is suitably rated.

Hawk-Woods and other manufacturers now offer a range of batteries that are designed for high current draw, up to 15A, ideal for use with Silk fixtures. A battery used on Silk 210 must have a current rating of >9A to cope with current draw at lower voltages to ensure it doesn't cut out early and reduce running time.

There are a range of variables that effect battery life such as: capacity, age, number of duty cycles, quality, and ambient temperature.

Silk firmware has been designed to maintain light output and protect the driver electronics as supply voltage drops.

For Silk 110, 210 and 205 models the display will flash @ 13.5V input to warn the user that there is limited remaining capacity. Between 13V and 12.5V the lamp will switch off and display "Lo OFF". Please switch off the unit and change the battery or switch to an alternative power source. The time between the warning display and cut out will vary but a typical duration would be 5 - 15 minutes, but typical duration on a 100W battery would be 10 minutes.

Additionally there are other steps you can take to prolong battery life if running time is the priority. Roll off the output to < 90% and walk the lamp in slightly closer to the subject if possible. This can increase the running time by up to 75%. Adjusting color temperature below 5300K, if possible, will also increase running time. (For instance, setting the fixture to 4300K, if appropriate to your situation, will increase running time by as much as 25%.)

Rosco has tested many Lithium Ion batteries currently available and a list of test results and expected run times are shown on the next page.

Many other batteries offered from a range of manufacturers may work but their performance and reliability cannot be confirmed by Rosco.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When changing batteries on the unit, first switch off with the power switch, change the battery and then switch back on. Permanent damage to the driver board is possible when swapping batteries with the unit switched on.

Optical Characteristics:

The Silk LED Fixture is a broad spectrum, diffuse, white light source. Like all discontinuous spectrum lamps, this source can only emulate a black body radiator or daylight source. However Silk LED fixtures have been developed to mix well with traditional sources, such as Tungsten Halogen, MSR and HMI fixtures, as they work within the color gamut of current broadcast and motion picture cameras and film stock.

Measuring Correlated Color Temperature (CCT)

Silk fixtures utilize an LED source that is optimized for the film, TV and image capture industries. Many existing color meters cannot be used to accurately read the correlated color temperature (CCT) of Silk and other discontinuous spectrum light sources.

Old style color meters in use today were designed for a full spectrum source such as incandescent lights. These meters possess only 3 sensors to measure the light output: red, green, and blue. As such, a narrow band light source, such as Silk may not read correctly.

A few color meters now on the market will provide a more accurate CCT reading and these include: Asense Lighting Passport, Sekonic C700 and UPRTECH MK350N and MF250N.

To ensure that the CCT of the light emanating from the Silk LED fixtures matches traditional light sources, the output from Rosco Silk LED fixtures has been validated using TLCI test algorithms and validated as a source of the highest quality. Metrics suggest the source will need negligible correction in post-production, save for subjective adjustments.

Old style color meters in use today were designed for a full spectrum source such as incandescent lights. These meters possess only 3 sensors to measure the light output: red, green, and blue. As such, a narrow band light source, such as Silk may not read correctly.

A few color meters now on the market will provide a more accurate CCT reading and these include: Asense Lighting Passport, Sekonic C700 and UPRTECH MK350N and MF250N.

To ensure that the CCT of the light emanating from the Silk LED fixtures matches traditional light sources, the output from Rosco Silk LED fixtures has been validated using TLCI test algorithms and validated as a source of the highest quality. Metrics suggest the source will need negligible correction in post-production, save for subjective adjustments.

Optical Characteristics:

The Silk LED Fixture is a broad spectrum, diffuse, white light source. Like all discontinuous spectrum lamps, this source can only emulate a black body radiator or daylight source. However Silk LED fixtures have been designed to mix well with traditional sources, such as Tungsten Halogen, MSR and HMI fixtures, as they work within the color gamut of current broadcast and motion picture cameras and film stock.

UPDATING FIRMWARE

ONLY APPLICABLE TO V2.0 AND ABOVE

From time to time we may upgrade the firmware on Silk LED to optimise its performance or introduce new features.

No special programming hardware is required for this upgrade and the latest firmware will be available as a download from the Rosco website at www.rosco.com/silk/firmware

1) Plug a USB lead into the driver board and the PC with the Silk powered off. The USB port can be found on the underside of the electronics pod centred below the two control knobs.
2) Hold the DMX/MODE/SELECT button down and still holding the button down switch on the power.
3) Release the DMX/MODE/SELECT button after a few seconds and wait until Windows™ detects the SILK as a drive, this can take a few seconds.
4) Open the drive.
5) Delete the current firmware.bin file.
6) Copy the new file to the now empty drive.
7) Wait a couple of seconds for the device to be programmed.
8) Safely remove the device from Windows™/eject like you do with a USB stick.
9) Cycle the power on the SILK unit and it will now boot the new code.

DMX light flashing consistently	Fixture is in master or control mode	Set fixture to wireless or standard DMX mode
Two lamps appear to have different output >4000K	It is likely fixtures are set to different output profiles	Set both to 5.2 Standard or Flat mode

MEASURING CCT

To ensure that the CCT of the light emanating from the Silk LED fixtures matches traditional light sources, the output from Rosco Silk LED fixtures has been validated using TLCI test algorithms and validated as a source of the highest quality. Metrics suggest the source will need negligible correction in post-production, save for subjective adjustments.

COLOR METRICS

The diagrams below show, histogram, spectral power distribution and chip chart images gathered with a standard Silk LED at the 3200K and 5600K set points.

These metrics are typical of a Silk LED fixture, but individual units may vary within manufacturing tolerance. It is the user's responsibility, as is customary and standard practice, to shoot image capture tests when combining sources using different core technology such as HMI, fluorescent, tungsten or RGB LED fixtures to ensure compatibility.

CRI is not a good measure of the appropriateness of the color output for image capture and should not be relied on when comparing fixtures.
