Introduction 1
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Desire Series D40/D60 XTI fixture by ETC.
The Desire XTI Series is designed for permanent installations indoors or outdoors, with an IP66
rating, rugged die-cast enclosure, and noiseless fan-free operation. Up to 32 Desire XTI
fixtures can be linked together on one data chain and configured over a DMX/RDM network.
Desire’s x7 Color System seven-hue technology produces a light and color quality that
conventional LED systems cannot duplicate. This unique color system produces bright, broad-
spectrum whites and intense colors equally well, rendering pigments, objects, and skin tones
in a natural way.
Fire and Ice fixtures use elements of the x7 Color System for superior performance in deep
saturated colors.
Studio Daylight and Studio Tungsten fixtures use high-output white LEDs for maximum
brightness and efficacy. Studio Tungsten interacts very well with incandescent sources, while
Studio Daylight easily replaces a variety of HMI lamps and natural sunlight.
Quick Setups
You can use any one of the Quick Setups and fine-tune settings for operation via DMX/RDM
protocol.
Vivid, Lustr+, Fire, Ice and Studio HD
Some of the options include:
• Multiple DMX profiles ranging from a simple 3-channel RGB profile to 8-channel native color and
intensity control.
• Multiple dimming curve options.
• Preset colors and sequences for standalone operation.
• White point selection; white light and color behavior based on a specific color temperature white
light such as 3200 K or 5600 K.
• Loss-of-data behavior options.
• Power regulation modes; three output options that offer a choice between maximum light
output for lower duty cycles and maximum thermal stability and output consistency for higher
duty cycles.
