Color Block 2 User Manual 4 V1.1 September 2012
1. Product overview
1.1 Chroma-Q Color Block 2
Following the enormous success of the Chroma-Q Color Block™ LED fixture with rental companies and end users alike, the
manufacturer has combined the product's core elements of modularity and versatility with new single color RGBA optics, 530
lumens output (almost double the original model) and theatrical grade dimming to create the exceptional feature set of the
Color Block 2 fixture.
With its radically increased color palette and high CRI of 90, the Color Block 2 fixture is a master at creating vibrant bold
colors and subtle theatrical hues. Combined with its built-in variable color temperature capability, even flesh tones look
natural, satisfying all but the most critical eye.
The four large, camera-friendly LED cells offer performers less glare and mix beautifully for single color output, virtually
eliminating the frustrating color separation shadows normally synonymous with LED lighting. The beam optics have a soft
asymmetrical quality carefully crafted to give an immediate perfect color blend for uplighting surfaces, yet retain a soft
Fresnel-like edge for direct illumination. At close to twice the output of its predecessor, the Color Block 2 fixture is bright
enough to uplight a 6m / 20 foot set and then some
.
Each Color Block 2 fixture features 48 high output LED set into 12 single optic RGBA clusters that are grouped into 4 cells
which produce an intense, powerful light and vibrant colours across the spectrum.
The control options incorporate a choice of HSI (Hue, Saturation and Intensity), RGBA (Red, Green, Blue, Amber), RGB(A)
(Red, Green, Blue, with *Magic Amber), RGBI (Red, Green, Blue with *Magic Amber and Intensity) control modes, and a
dynamic Variable Effects Engine integrated in the software which gives the lighting designer full control over colour and
effects combinations.
The product's lightweight yet robust, heavy gauge aluminium extruded construction houses a discreet cable management
system and additional protection is built around the LED lenses for a truly road proof fixture.
A range of DMX controlled power supplies are available to accommodate most applications. Each Color Block Power Supply
features XLR4 outputs with a maximum capacity of 5 Color Block 2 fixtures daisy chained together. See separate PSU user
manual for control details.
* Magic Amber is the term used for the unit's ability to bring in Amber when mixing colors that require it
