Demo light DMX-profile has odd intensity control.

I just received a light to demo, and am building a profile for it.
The channel layout (only 1 dmx profile available…)
1. intensity
2. CCT range
3. Red
4. Green
5. Blue

The intensity ONLY controls CCT values; so if a CCT+color is desired (eg. 4000K+some green for crappy fluorescent), and the intensity needs to change, the green won’t dim with the intensity adjustment.

I’ve tried a virtual intensity, but that will no longer control a physical channel (even if I add an intensity channel to the profile), so CCT control is lost…

Any advice?

    Are you allowed to share more details about the Demo-Light?

    Something like:

    - Manufacturer
    - Product Name

    And do you have a Manual that you can share?

    Without knowing the Fixture, i still have a Picture in my head of how i could imagen it.

    Maybe think of a Thungsten Color Scroller Unit that has CCT in the Scroller and a different LED-PAR Unit that somehow is mixed in.
    A mixed Fixture where the LED has a virtual Int.

    • It is a VERY basic light, used for film.

    Manufacture is Aladdin, product Mosaic 4x4

    that has the DMX map and manual for the light.

    I did try setting it up as a mixed fixture

    .1 - physical Intensity and CCT

    .2 - virtual intensity and RGB

    but my issue is that because the single fixture now has 2 independent intensities, they won’t act as a ratio of one another.

    So if I have the CCT at 25% and the RGB mix at 7%, and need to reduce the output by 3 points, the CCT now becomes 22% and the RGB mix becomes 4% (instead of the ratio change to 6.16%), which is a brand new color.
