Virtual
Color
Wheel
The Ovation E-910FC includes a feature called the Virtual Color Wheel (VCW). This
feature is available as a stand-
alone control mode for manual use and also as a control
channel in select DMX personalities. Over 30 pre-
mixed colors, custom blended by our
engineers, are available to call up for easier programming.
The DMX values used to mix these colors are provided below. You may adjust the overall
intensity of the Ovation fixture in order to more closely replicate colors you are familiar
with. A chart is available on our website www.chauvetprofessional.com to compare our pre-
mixed colors with popular gel colors. This chart is for comparison purposes only and is not
a representation that our pre-mixed colors match any of the gel colors listed.
