The ColorShow is an unVisiblee server component with the ability to control RGB or RGBW lights. The control is carried out via 8-bit values per color channel. These can then be used for any external driver such as e.g. KNX, DigitalSTROM or DMX. KNX can be used with any dimmer (0-10V or DALI). The only prerequisite for this is that they have an 8-bit brightness value.

To use the ColorShow, at least one ColorShow Editor, as Visiblee Client component, must be connected. The use of multiple editors is also possible. This means that several control panels can access the same ColorShow and display and operate it. It is not possible to switch several ColorShow components in parallel, as this leads to looping.

Data points of the component

Name	Type	Function
Current color memory number	Output	The memory number of the color that is currently selected is output at this data point.
CIE	Folder	Outputs the color space coordinates xyY according to the standards table as a number and as a color packet (6 bytes). (Y = brightness parameter)
ColorShow Editor	Bidirectional	Connection between a ColorShow and one or more ColorShow Editors.
Trigger Color	Input	Byapplying an 8bit signal to this input, the stored colors M1-10 can be triggered with the value 1-10. Applying an off signal or the 8bit value 0 will turn the fixture off.
Save colour	Input	Using a value of 1-10 at this input, the set colours can be saved on M1-M10.
Colour Blue Status input	Input	The 8bit brightness value for the color blue is received at this data point.
Color Blue	Bidirectional	The 8bit brightness value for the color blue is output or received at this data point.
Color Green Status input	Input	The 8bit brightness value for the color green is received at this data point.
Color Green	Bidirectional	The 8bit brightness value for the color green is output or received at this data point.
Color red	Bidirectional	The 8-bit brightness value for the color red is output or received at this data point.
Color Red Status input	Input	At this data point the 8bit brightness value for the color red is received.
Color White / Brightness	Bidirectional	The 8bit brightness value for the color white is output or received at this data point (only if RGB-W has been selected).
Color white / Brightness Status input	Input	The 8-bit brightness value for the colour white is received at this data point (only if RGB-W has been selected).
Colour packet (6 byte DPV)	Bidirectional	At this data point, the colour is output as a data packet (6 byte DPV). An input is also possible.
Colour packet (6 byte DPV) Status input	Input	At this data point, the color is received as a data packet (6 bytes DPV).
Color packet HSL (4 bytes 211)	Output	At this data point, the color is output as a data packet (4 bytes 211). (2 bytes color, 1 byte brightness, 1 byte saturation)
Color packet HSL (4 bytes 211) Status input	Input	At this data point, the color is received as a data packet (4 bytes 211). (2 bytes color, 1 byte brightness, 1 byte saturation)
Color packet HSV (4 bytes 211)	Output	At this data point, the color is output as a data packet (4 bytes 211). (2 bytes color, 1 byte brightness, 1 byte saturation)
Color packet HSV (4 bytes 211) Status input	Input	At this data point, the color is received as a data packet (4 bytes 211). (2 bytes color, 1 byte brightness, 1 byte saturation)
Color packet RGB (3 bytes hex string)	Output	At this data point, the color is output as a data packet (3 bytes HEX).
Color packet RGB (3 bytes hex string) Status input	Input	At this data point the color is received as a data packet (3 bytes HEX).
Color packet RGB (3 bytes)	Output	At this data point, the color is output as a data packet (3 bytes).
Color packet RGB (3 bytes) Status input	Input	At this data point, the color is received as a data packet (3 bytes).
Color packet RGB (4 bytes hex string)	Bidirectional	At this data point, the color is output as a data packet (4 bytes HEX). An input is also possible.
Color packet RGB (4 bytes hex string) Status input	Input	At this data point the color is received as a data packet (4 bytes HEX).
Color packet RGB (4 bytes)	Bidirectional	At this data point, the color is output as a data packet (4 bytes). An input is also possible.
Color packet RGB (4 bytes) Status input	Input	At this data point, the color is received as a data packet (4 bytes).
Increase brightness	Input	If an ON signal is applied to this input, the brightness of the current color is increased by 5%.
Decrease brightness	Input	If an ON signal is applied to this input, the brightness of the current color is decreased by 5%.
Brightness value	Input	An 8-bit signal applied to this input adjusts the brightness to the desired level.
HSL	Folder	For the color space, the corresponding values are output here.
HSV/HSB	Folder	For the color space, the corresponding values are output here.
Light is On/Off	Output	An on signal is output at this output as long as the light is on.
Sequence Start/Stop	Bidirectional	An ON signal is output at this data point when the colour sequence is activated. If an ON signal is applied to this data point, the colour sequence is started.
Store color	Input	The set colours can be stored on M1-M10 via a value of 1-10 at this input.

Properties

Name		function
Loop active		If this parameter is set, the infinite loop of the color sequence, when starting the solution in the server, or when switching on the simulation in the editor, is set as default.
Sequence active		If this parameter is set, the color sequence is started when the solution is started in the server or when the simulation is started in the editor.
Send default color at startup		If this parameter is set, the defined color is started when the solution is started in the server or when the simulation is started in the editor.
Startup Color	0	The color with this memory number (M1-10) is sent if the parameter "Send StartColor" is activated.
Color mode	RGB Mode	Select here between RGB and RGBW mode. RGBW mode means that there are additional white spots of light besides red, green and blue.
Scale brightness value (for RGBW)		If activated, the calculated W value is scaled before output (0-120 --> 0 ; 120-240 --> 0-255).
