Astera Titan Profiles

Does anyone have a working showfile with Astera fixtures? The profiles are still broken for the Titan, ax3, and ax5. I've been putting this off and just using their app and etc for other lights but i have a big job coming up next monday and need to get the Asteras patched in. 

I need the CCT and (+/- green) tint parameters.

This is what it looks like so far:

Need the CCT and TINT to look like: (from skypanel s60)

Main fixture profile file I need:

Secondarily the 4 cell, and 16 cell too.

Same thing for ax3 and ax5:

    I use titan tubes and AX3 daily.  I've found the CCT+Dim plus all that unusable for fast work in the way we want.  It's not EOS, CCT and tint is a hard value.  Once switched it shuts off the RGB side of the light.  So we've found it unusable on set because you can't warm up or use color controls to tweak the light. Our solution has been to run it in RGBW mode which gives much better color control, otherwise the W value get's emulated and pops on at weird values.  We then have color temped both the titan and AX3 from 2700-10k and use those as our base to work with.  Really it'd be nice for Astera to send in some product and have it calibrated so temps and gels are accurate, I'll bring it up next convention I see them at.

    You didn't mention AX3 but I run those in mode 13 IRGBAW S on.  I've found the best color and dimming there.  With both lights in RGB(A)W mode you get the most accurate response out of the ETC tint controls.

    I actually pulled up the forum to see what the best way to instruct manufacturers was to get their lights calibrated.  Who they should contact and what is the a-z processes so they understand.  Cinegear is a week away so not a bad thing to know in advance.
