HES Studio Spot CMY and CMY Zoom have different colors

FWIW, I have 6 Studio Spot CMY Zooms and have never found the pick to gel number method to be anywhere near accurate.  I would suspect that due to the age of the fixture, that the profile written for ETC was poorly done.

Note that I never complained, as it is in reality, an ancient fixture that has dismal CMY mixing to tints in any event, and I just went and built up my own favorites for the Color Palette.

Hi Steve,

I would totally get that except the Zoom is really just an "add-on" module to the original CMY unit (it disables/takes the place of the diffusion attribute), so the profile "should" be the same as the CMY except there's a zoom atribute in place of the diffusion.  It has to be in the prfile, because I can patch them as original CMY units and the color picker works perfectly, as soon as you replace the diffusion with a zoom, it messes up the color values.

Makes no sense to me....

Have you checked to see that the zoom profile is up to date? I had issues with some cxi's not showing the correct color. When I updated the profile they worked correctly. Just note that if you update the profile it could affect any data you have previously stored for those units.
