Astera Titan/AX1 CCT profile

Hello, i'm looking over the Astera Titan fixture profiles and i notice that the CCT parameter is 0-255 and there's no way to reference actual Color Temperature. Working in film production its really important to be able to do this. For example the ARRI S60 profiles all reference CCT accurately, so this function would be really helpful. I could build my own and replace the displayed values with the correct range, but i'm weary that they will match up. i will try this tomorrow, check with a color meter, and report back. but as i understand CCT, it is logarithmic and non-linear so i think matching values wont work. The Astera app control has full CCT parameters that are accurate. so they have the capability. 

The same goes for the other Astera fixtures i work with: AX3/AX5

As a gaffer and low level programmer i know that the first thing a Gaffer is going to want to see across ALL of the fixtures on set is accurate, predictable, repeatable CCT.

  • Hi Lilly, 

    Do you happen to have a link to the updated manual/dmx chart (with these profiles included) that I can forward to the Eos team? They are currently working on updates to the existing modes, but I'd like to get additional modes added in before the next release if possible. 

    Best,

    Therese

  • I have not seen a new manual with updated profiles yet, but I did grab some screenshots of the app with the new modes. These profiles are for the titans set in single pixel mode with single strobe on. These profiles also have the 4, 8, and 16 multicell mode with the option for single and multi strobe channels too. Looks like the 16bit cct crossfade gm rgb mode does currently show up in the app with the strobe channel enabled, but I assume that will be fixed before these additions come out of beta.
