Select a gel by gel name! No DMX skills required! LFX Master DMX gel libraries Gel libraries are available for the Skypanel-C and all Kinoflo LED fixtures. Select a gel by name as shown below of a device preset of the LFX Master DMX. A gel library is available, if the “GEL” lamp mode (Arri) or “GELS/HUE” lamp mode (Kinoflo) is selected. The Lighting FX Builder tells you which lamp mode will be selected, depending on the application. Create a set-up…
Used with activated Xfade mode! Select it in the builder – get the easy set-up guide! Remarkable color shifts using the x-fade feature of the Skypanel. On low dim levels effect light is geled with “Light Red”, on high dim levels with “Gold Amber”. It´s cross-fading these to gels with DIM OUT 2 channel of the LFX Master DMX depending on the dim level! Choose arbitrary gels in the LFX Master DMX OUT control panel. For fire effects with flickering…

DMX-512 (Digital Multiplex) is a standard for digital communication networks that are commonly used to control lighting gear such as LED fixtures, dimmer packs, lamp remote heads and more – the DMX receivers, A single DMX network (aka “DMX universe”) can control up to 512 channels. Most likely a lighting console is used to control the DMX channels along with its parameter 0 -100% level for each channel. With a lighting console this parameter is typically varied by a fader. A single channel parameter has a resolution…
From practice Let´s assume there is an existing DMX network on stage as shown below. From the lighting console all the LED fixtures/dimmer packs are linked with DMX cables. DMX addresses from 1 to 350 are in use. Merge means: combine two DMX address ranges in ONE DMX universe (512 channels). Let´s put the LFX Master DMX in the DMX chain behind the lighting console. Suppose the DMX start address of your LIGHTNG FX BUILDER set-up is 101, and uses…
Smart “Transistions”-function of the LFX Master DMX Use every type and size of tungsten lamps or LED. A result of an effect would look different with the same signal used at different lamp types/sizes, particularly if an LED lamp is used. “Transitions” adapts effects to the duration of persistence of various types of filaments or to LED lamps. See sample clip: fire effects The timing difference between the moment of electrical deactivation and the time of a completely extinguished light…
Realistic looking fire Original flames of a fireplace are in motion. So the lighting source should be. The 3 channel “fire” preset of this flickerbox automatically alternates the dim level of each channel the way a real flame would behave – flickering shadows. For TV effects even the color changes in RGB mode of an LED fixture. As shown to the left three lamps – separately controlled by the LFX Master DMX – will initiate three different cast shadows of an…
LED fixtures might have different operation modes sometimes also called “scenario”. See example Skypanel DMX map Don´t be scared. Here we explain the “modes” of LED fixtures. The reason why manufacturers provide different operation modes Every mode provides certain fixture features. Each channel stands for a single function of an LED fixture. E.g. first DMX channel for dim control, second channel for color temperature, third channel for green/magenta correction, … in the DMX-512 network. The pattern of used DMX channels…
