Chroma-Q Color Force™ and Color Force II™ Fixtures Do Not Output the Correct Color With ETC Consoles

Symptoms/Issue

In HSI modes, Chroma-Q Color Force™ and Color Force II™ fixtures do not output the correct color.

Description/Explanation of Issue

ETC consoles and Chroma-Q fixtures, by default, define hue values differently. Therefore, when using the color picker on an ETC console with a fixture in HSI mode, the color will look incorrect. Color mixing modes such as RGB will work correctly by default.

To get around this issue, Chroma-Q has implemented an ETC compatibility mode for their fixtures, which remaps the hue parameter for compatibility with ETC color pickers.

Fix/Solution

Consult the documentation for your fixture to enable ETC Compatibility Mode.
