KHi (Kelvin, Hue, and intensity) gives 3 parameter channels to each group; 1 channel for colour temperature and 1 for hue (±Green), and third for the intensity. Hue channel when set at 50%, the colour output is at black body curve. Above 50%, it shifts towards green and below 50% it shifts towards red area on the black body curve. A separate definable intensity channel is particularly useful when creating intensity chases or when the grand master is used. Below table shows the CCT output, at different K, H, i settings. The DMX map is shown in Table 19 (DMX Map-KHi).

Table 6 (KHi-CCT Output)

Cine-Q (Intensity Kelvin, Hue, Red, Green, Blue, White and Crossfade) is a combination of the KHI and RGBW mode, with the ability to crossfade between either mode. It gives 8 or 9 parameter channels to each group; one global intensity, one parameter for colour temperature and one for hue (±Green), and then Red, Green, Blue and White parameters. A crossfade parameter allows to fade from KH to RGBW parameters. The default value for Kelvin and Hue parameters should be 50%. The crossfade parameter can be set to 16-bit for a more accurate crossfade when using very long transition. The DMX map is shown in Table 20 (DMX Map-CINE-Q-iKHRGBW).

RGBW (Red, Green, Blue and White): This mode assigns 4 DMX channels to set Red, Green, Blue and White levels in each cell, or group of cells. It provides 4 parameter channels that directly affect the intensity of each color within a group. Color is mixed by adjusting the levels of each of the four channels using an external DMX controller/ console. The DMX footprint will be determined by the selected grouping option. White (of about 3,500K) is achieved with only white channel at full. Refer to the Table 7 (SFII 72 DMX Grouping), Table 8 (SFII 48 DMX Grouping), Table 9 (SFII 12 DMX Grouping), for detail on grouping selection and DMX footprints. The DMX map is shown in Table 16 (DMX Map-RGBW).

To set the fixture to RGBW mode,

  1. On the Main Menu, tap Mode
  2. On the Mode screen, tap RGBW
  3. Tap Apply to save or Escape to cancel

RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) gives 3 parameter channels directly affecting the intensity of the corresponding group. Color is mixed by adjusting the levels of the three primary colors in each group. The DMX footprint will be determined by grouping option selected. The white color is automatically mixed in when all three colour parameters are engaged. The DMX map is shown in Table 17 (DMX Map-RGB).

To set the RGB mode,

  1. On the Main Menu, tap Mode
  2. On the Mode screen, tap RGB
  3. Tap Apply to save or Escape to cancel

HSi (Hue, Saturation and Intensity) gives 3 control channels to each group; 2 channels for hue and saturation and one 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 colors available and the saturation channel specifies the saturation level of that color. The saturation channel is fully saturated at full. White is achieved with the intensity channel to full and the saturation channel at zero. With this mode enabled, the Hue channel is from Red to Red (R→G→B→R). The DMX map is shown in Table 18 (DMX Map-HSi).

**Extended Control Channel: An extra Control parameter can be enabled, it will be place as the last parameter of the fixture control mode. The Control channel allows for remotely control certain aspect of the fixture such as the fan speed, PWM frequency and more functions.

3.2. Mode Options

Mode Options Cine-0 8b Cine-0 16b Extended HSI Legacy Escape Apply

Cine-Q 16b The crossfade parameter can be set to 16-bit for a more accurate crossfade and better granularity, when using very long transition. When set at this mode, one extra channel (#9) is assigned for very small step increase/decrease in the intensity (0.0% to 1.0%) with change in the DMX fader value form 0-255. See Table 21 (DMX Map-CINE-Q-iKHRGBW-16bit) for the DMX Map.

ModeiKHRGBWXx
Cine-Q 8b12345678--
Cine-Q 16b123456789

**Extended This setting assigns one extra channel in the end, which allows remote override of certain settings such as engine frequency, fan speed, Dimmer curve and DMX Lost state. This option allows users to temporarily override touch screen menu entered settings, using one extra channel on a DMX console. To override a current setting in the fixture,

  1. Set the value of this channel to the desired setting (DMX Value) listed in the Table 23 (DMX Map-Extended Control Channel).
  2. Wait for 5 sec.
  3. The fixture will retain that setting, until it is changed again or the fixture is power cycled.
  4. To avoid any unintentional settings override, set the extended channel back to DMX value 0.

After the power cycle, the extended control setting will be reset and the fixture will default back to the last settings set by the touch screen display menu or the RDM.

HSi Legacy The option allows the new Studio force fixtures match the HSi pattern, with old Chroma-Q HSi mode enabled fixtures. With Legacy hue mode enabled, the Hue channel is from Blue to Blue (B→G→R→B).

3.3. Grouping Options

Studio Force II ^TM offers a powerful, wide variety of grouping options for the individual cells (or pixels) within each fixture. Grouping is independent of control mode selection. A Studio Force II ^TM 72 fixture consists of 24 cells, a Studio Force II ^TM 48 fixture consists of 16 cells and a Studio Force II12 ^TM fixture consists of 4 cells. "Cell" or pixel grouping allows individual control of each single cell or various grouping of cells as defined in the tables below. In "ALL" grouping, all cells in the Studio Force II ^TM 72/48/12, the fixtures will be controlled as 1 group. In x1 each cell is being controlled independently for a total of 24, 16 or 4 individual cells for the Studio Force II ^TM 72, 48 or 12 respectively. The number in the table below, indicate the group number.

Od / Ev: Controls every other cell (pixels) in two groups of control – odd cell and even cells.

X4: (48 and 72 models only) Controls cells in group of 4

X1: Each cells are controlled individually

6. Thermal Performance

The Studio Force II™ 12, 48 & 72 feature in-built fans that control the internal temperature of the fixture. If the internal temperature of the Studio Force exceeds 75^ the output of the fixture will be reduced as an automatic protection feature. This may happen when the ambient temperature is over 40^ or the internal fans are blocked or damaged due to mishandling of the fixture. The airflow to and from the fan must not be constricted to maintain the maximum light output of the Studio Force II™.

7. Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting is a process of elimination. First, rule out the other field factors (i.e. bad connections, faulty cables and power supplies). For technical support and/or parts, please contact nearest Chroma-Q dealer.

SymptomPossible CauseSolution
Fixture does not respond to DMX control.1. Set to wrong or different DMX address.2. Bad cable connecting DMX control and fixture. Bad in/through connection between adjacent fixtures.3. Console patch is incorrect.1. Check DMX address and Mode settings.2. Check/replace DMX run from the console.3. Check DMX values in the Setup/DMX Data screen as described above to verify the fixture is “seeing” the DMX data.
Noise from fixture unit.Fan malfunction.Check fan.
Low LED output.Internal temperature is over the limit. Fan is not working.·Verify Engine temperature using the Setup/ Eng Temp screen.·Check “Fan Control” mode. Check fan.·Check for airflow - to and from the internal fan.·Check area ventilation.

8. Maintenance

With care, the Studio Force ^™ II will require little or no maintenance. However, as the unit is likely to be used in a stage environment, we recommend periodical inspection and cleaning of any resulting dust on the unit.

Do not spray liquids on the front or rear panel. Do not use solvents to clean the fixture. If the front enclosure requires cleaning, wipe with a mild detergent on a damp cloth.
