Color Mixing
The SHOWGUN
®
 fixture has two color mixing systems. A CMY system that is comprised of a 
dichroic color mixing system for output from the Output Lens and a RGB color mixing system that 
is comprised of 36 RGB Modules in the LED Tracking system.
CMY Color
The CMY color mixing system creates and infinite range of color by moving pairs of Cyan, Magenta 
and Yellow flags. Several color selection modes are available in either full speed (controller 
crossfading the wheel positions), or MSpeed (MSpeed control of the wheel motor). For more 
information on MSpeed, see 
MSpeed (Motor Speed) on page 34. 
The Color Function you choose will effect which parameter values are available for each individual 
color (Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow). The following table describes the Color Functions available on 
the SHOWGUN fixture.
