QUICK START
Once unit is on there will be a digital readout on the display.
● The filter tray being used will be listed at the top-left of the display: 4x5 or 6x6
● Above the filter tray read-out, there will be a horizontal white line also at the top-left of
the display. This line represents the pixel strip lengths on the filter tray. This allows you
to only light up a portion(s) of the filter tray at a time. To extend or reduce the lengths of
the pixel strip being used, use the knob labeled “LENGTH.”
● You can also change the position in which the pixels are located by using the
“POSITION” knob located below the length knob.
● To adjust the color of the lights, use the knobs labeled “RED,” “GREEN,” and “BLUE.”
You will see both numerical values as well as a simulated color-box on the screen.
