2. Avoiding damage
Do not point the front of the fixture towards the sun or other strong light sources. Strong
light can cause internal damage to the fixture, melting components or starting an
internal fire within seconds.
Figure 1. Avoiding damage from light sources
Damage can occur whether the fixture is powered on or off. See Figure 1. Damage
can also occur if the light hits the front of the fixture at an angle: the fixture does not
need to be pointing directly at the sun or other light source.
To avoid problems from strong light sources:
•Do not expose the front of the fixture to sunlight or any other strong light source.
•For outdoor applications during daylight, make sure that the front face of the fixture
is shielded or points away from the sun, even when not in use.
•Avoid pointing other high-powered beam lights directly at the fixture.
The LCD display is fragile. Protect it from shock, or damage could be caused that is not
covered by the warranty.
Use only original spare parts. Do not make any structural modifications to the fixture or
you will void the product warranty.
Clean optical components only as directed. Oils, solvents, and other chemicals
commonly used for cleaning can damage coatings and surfaces.
Do not drop the fixture or expose it to mechanical stress.
Do not expose the fixture to heat (from other lighting fixtures for example).
Water and humidity
KNV fixtures are IP54 rated. In outdoor and high humidity applications, make sure that
all external power and data connectors are rated IP54 or higher.
Keep all unused connectors on the fixture sealed with their protective caps at all times,
both when the fixture is being used and when it is not in use.
Incorrect cabling and incorrect or unsealed connectors may lead to damage that is
not covered by the product warranty.

5. Features
The KNV from GLP is a powerful strobe/color effect lighting fixture. It is available in
modular Cube and Arc variants that can be interlocked and combined to form lines
and curves, giving enormous creative possibilities.
The fixture combines powerful white light output from a 5x5 matrix of 30-watt cool
white LEDs with bright color output from a color wash panel that uses 400 high-quality
RGB LEDs in circles around the white LEDs. Total luminous flux can exceed 50 000
lumens per module.
The LED array can be pixel-mapped through any standard controller. White and color
output can be controlled separately or combined for stunning strobe, continuous
output and wash effects. Using the powerful internal multilayer FX engine, complex
dynamic effects can be created quickly with no need for a separate pixel-mapping
media server.
The KNV can be used indoors in permanent and temporary installations. Its rugged
construction and IP54 rating mean that it can also be used outdoors in temporary
installations if precautions are taken to prevent immersion in water and damage from
direct sunlight. It can be placed upright on a level surface or suspended from a
suitable structure as described in the product’s Quick Start and Installation Manual.
Four mounting points with M3 threaded holes are provided on the front of KNV fixtures
for mounting optical accessories from GLP.
Power and data can be daisy-chained and products can be interlocked for ease of
installation.
The KNV is not suitable for household use, for use in any location where unattended
children have access to it, or for use in permanent outdoor installations.
White LEDs
The KNV features a 5x5 matrix of cool white LEDs that produce powerful white light at
5000 K. The white LEDs can be controlled together or individually depending on the
DMX control mode selected.
The white LEDs offer shutter and dimming effects including a powerful strobe, flashing
at up to 16.67 Hz, or operate continuously to give high-output wash effects with a 120°
beam angle.
You can also select from a wide range of pre-programmed dynamic FX patterns to run
on the white LEDs.
Color LEDs
The KNV’s 400 RGB LEDs are arranged into circles of 16 LEDs that surround each white
LED. The RGB LEDs can be controlled together or individually depending on the DMX
control mode selected.
You can run a wide range of color effects (including strobe effects and dynamic FX
patterns) on the RGB LEDs, or you can operate them continuously using RGB color
mixing to provide a color wash with a 120° beam angle.
You can also use the RGB LEDs to add blue or red to the powerful white LEDs and
adjust their color temperature.

Pixel mapping
If you control the KNV’s 5 x 5 matrix of LED blocks individually, pixels are numbered as
shown below as seen from the front of the fixture:
Figure 4. Pixel layout, Cube and Arc fixtures
Pixel mirror
The Pixel mirror setting flips the numbering of the KNV’s pixels right to left. This lets you
set up symmetrical effects in multiple fixtures quickly without the need to reprogram
cues.
Figure 4Error! Reference source not found. above shows the default pixel orientation
when Pixel mirror is set to OFF (Normal). Figure 5 below shows the pixel orientation when
Pixel mirror is set to ON.
You can apply Pixel mirror using the Control / Settings DMX channel or in the control
panel.
Figure 5. Pixel Mirror = ON
If you want to check a fixture’s Pixel mirror status from the control desk, apply a Test
pattern (see Figure 7 on page 18) on the Control / Settings DMX channel.

Pixel orientation
In addition to the Pixel mirror setting described above, you can rotate the pixels in 90°
steps using the Control / Settings DMX channel or the fixture’s control panel.
Dimming
See Figure 6. You can select from two dimming
curves using the control panel or the Control /
Settings DMX channel – Linear and Soft:
•Light output using the Linear curve will appear to
increase and decrease evenly throughout the
dimming range.
•The Soft curve gives finer control at low light
levels (where the eye is more sensitive to
changes in light level) and coarser control at
high levels.
The default setting is Soft.
Flare effect
A feature which we call the Flare effect can be applied to flashes when they are
activated on strobe channels. The Flare effect is an interference effect that you can
superimpose onto a flash. This effect is particularly impressive when combined with
increased flash length.
Random pixel sparkle
The KNV’s Flare effect channels include a Random pixel setting. This setting applies the
flare effect to individual pixels at random, giving an impressive sparkling effect. Again,
we recommend that you try combining this effect with increased flash length.
Hyperspeed
Hyperspeed is a very fast flash rate on the Shutter effects channels that gives a very
powerful effect.
FX
The KNV’s pre-programmed dynamic FX give you quick access to a wide range of
dynamic patterns and movement options.
When FX are active, you can control them using six DMX channels:
•Five dedicated channels let you select an FX, set a crossfading speed, set pattern
orientation, adjust FX length in pixels and set offsets.
•In addition to these channels, if an FX is active the third strobe channel becomes a
sixth FX control channel and lets you adjust FX speed (see details below).
Figure 6. Dimming curves

www.glp.de
14 KNV
User Manual Rev. 1.0
Dedicated FX channels
•The first FX channel, the FX Selection channel, lets you choose and activate an FX
from a list of dynamic FX patterns.
If this channel is set to zero, the third strobe channel controls strobe flash rate. If an
FX is selected on this channel, the third strobe channel controls FX speed.
•The second FX channel, the FX Crossfading channel, sets the time it takes for the FX
to fade out. You can set FX to crossfading and apply a crossfading time from fast to
slow. You can also set FX to leave a tail behind them and apply a crossfading time
for the tail from slow to fast.
•The third FX channel, the FX Orientation channel, lets you select from a long list of
options for the orientation of the FX. Running the same FX but with different
orientation options in multiple fixtures is a fast way to set up symmetrical and/or
coordinated effects.
•The fourth FX channel, the FX Offset channel, lets you apply offsets to the FX, a
feature which lets you quickly set up synchronized FX chases in multiple fixtures.
Setting an offset determines the pixel in the pattern (not the pixel on the fixture)
where the FX pattern will start. For example, if you set the length of an FX pattern to
10 pixels and you apply an offset of 6 pixels, the fixture will blackout for the time it
takes the FX pattern to run on pixels 1 – 5, then the FX pattern will appear on the
fixture when the pattern reaches pixel 6.
•The fifth FX control channel, the FX Length channel, lets you set the total length in
pixels of the FX pattern.
FX speed control
If you select an FX on the FX Selection channel, the third strobe channel is redeployed
and becomes the FX Speed control channel. Instead of controlling strobe flash rate, it
now becomes the sixth FX control channel and lets you adjust the speed of the FX.
Setting up FX chases
If you select the same FX with the same speed in multiple fixtures, you can use the
other FX channels in combination to set up an FX chase across multiple fixtures:
•FX Crossfading / Crossfading with tail sets the rate at which one FX pattern step
fades out before the next pattern step arrives.
•FX Orientation can be used to add variety to a chase or set up multiple coordinated
chases in different groups of fixtures.
•FX Offset sets the pixel on which the FX pattern will start.
An FX pattern with no offset starts on pixel 1. You will obtain this if you set the FX
Offset channel to zero and also if you set the FX Offset channel to 001.
•FX Length sets the number of pixels over which the FX pattern will run.
The normal FX length is 5 pixels. You will obtain this 5-pixel length if you set the FX
Length channel to zero. It is not possible to set FX Length to less than 5 pixels.
When you set up FX chases, you will normally achieve the best results by increasing
FX length in steps of 5 pixels (one fixture).

German Light Products®
KNV User Manual Rev. 1.0 15
To obtain synchronized chases in multiple fixtures you must set up FX Length and FX
Offset parameters in combination. Here is how FX Length and FX Offset work in a single
fixture:
•FX Length = Off (DMX value zero on the FX Length DMX channel): The FX pattern will
have the normal length of five pixels. It will start at pixel 1, run from pixel 1 to pixel 5
and then immediately start at pixel 1 again.
•FX Length = 30 (DMX value 030 on the FX Length DMX channel): The FX pattern will
start at pixel 1, run from pixel 1 to pixel 5 and then black out for the time it takes to
run the FX pattern on pixels 6 – 30.
•FX Offset = Off (DMX value zero on the FX Offset DMX channel): The FX pattern will
start at pixel 1.
•FX Offset = 6 (DMX value 006 on the FX Offset DMX channel): The FX pattern will start
at pixel 6. If you have set an FX length of 30, the pixels will black out for the time it
takes to run the FX pattern on pixels 1 – 5, then run the FX pattern on pixels 6 – 10,
then black out for the time it takes to run the FX pattern on pixels 11 – 30.
To create a single FX pattern chase that will run across an array of multiple fixtures, you
need to:
•Set FX Length in all the fixtures to the total number of pixels that the pattern will run
across, and
•Set FX Offset in each fixture in a sequence five pixels apart.
This means that, if you want an FX pattern to run across six fixtures in a horizontal row
and return immediately to pixel 1 when it reaches pixel 30 at the end of the row, you
must set FX Length to 30 on all six fixtures and set FX Offsets with a gap of five pixels
between fixtures. To give a concrete example, here is how you must set up each
fixture:
•Fixture 1: FX Length = 30, FX Offset = 1
FX will start at Pixel 1 of the 30 pixels in FX Length and run on pixels 1 - 5
•Fixture 2: FX Length = 30, FX Offset = 6
FX will start at Pixel 6 of the 30 pixels in FX Length and run on pixels 6 - 10
•Fixture 3: FX Length = 30, FX Offset = 11
FX will start at Pixel 11 of the 30 pixels in FX Length and run on pixels 11 – 15
•Fixture 4: FX Length = 30, FX Offset = 16
FX will start at Pixel 16 of the 30 pixels in FX Length and run on pixels 16 - 20
•Fixture 5: FX Length = 30, FX Offset = 21
FX will start at Pixel 21 of the 30 pixels in FX Length and run on pixels 21 - 25
•Fixture 6: FX Length = 30, FX Offset = 26
FX will start at Pixel 26 of the 30 pixels in FX Length and run on pixels 26 - 30

RGB color generator
Where available, the RGB color generator effect gives instant access to automatic
color effects such as random colors, ramp up/down colors and random pixel colors.
These effects would be difficult to program on a DMX controller.
Extra shutter
In DMX modes 1, 6 and 7, an extra shutter effect is available. You can choose whether
this shutter effect should run on all LEDs (RGBW), on RGB LEDs only or on White LEDs
only. You can make this choice via DMX on the Control / Settings channel in modes 1,6
and 7 or using the fixture’s control panel.
The default setting for the extra shutter effect is RGBW.
Behavior when the fixture is not receiving a DMX signal
You can set the fixture to react in three different ways if no DMX signal is present (if the
fixture is being controlled by DMX but the DMX signal stops, or if you apply power to
the fixture when no DMX signal is present):
•Hold sets the fixture to continue obeying the last DMX values it received. This is the
default setting.
If no DMX signal was being received, the fixture will black out.
•Blackout sets the fixture to black out.
•Stand-alone sets the fixture to show the scene that has been stored using Capture
scene (see below). For safety reasons and to avoid unwanted surprises, the Stand-
alone scene will always fade in slowly if it is activated.
To program the scene that the fixture will display if it is set to Stand-alone and no DMX
signal is present, use the Capture scene command:
•Capture scene stores the scene that the fixture is currently displaying. Once stored,
the scene is used as the fixture’s Stand-alone scene.
All these settings are available via DMX on the Control / Settings channel and in the
fixture’s control panel.
To avoid any possibility of unexpected behavior from a powerful strobe light if the DMX
signal fails, we recommend that you always set the fixture to Blackout.
Dimmer Flash mode
A shortcut to creating single flashes is available if you activate Dimmer Flash using the
Control / Settings DMX channel or the Settings menu in the fixture’s control panel.
When Dimmer Flash mode is enabled, if the Flash rate channel (the third of the Strobe
channels) is set to zero, any new DMX value that you input on the Intensity channel
(the first of the Strobe channels) will produce a single flash. In effect, all you need to do
is 'nudge the dimmer fader' to produce a flash.
If you activate this function, you can tap flashes in sync with a music beat, easily
keeping track of changes in the beat.

German Light Products®
KNV User Manual Rev. 1.0 17
Display
The illuminated graphic LCD display with self-charging battery lets you change fixture
settings even when the power is off. See Chapters 7 and 8 for more details.
Using the Control / Settings DMX channel or the fixture’s control panel you can:
•Change the display orientation from Normal to Inverted for easier reading if the
fixture is flown upside-down in a rig.
•Choose between three different display modes:
- Auto: The display will automatically switch off after a few seconds if the fixture is
receiving a valid control signal and has not detected an error. If the fixture is not
receiving a valid control signal the display will flash. If the fixture has detected an
error, the display will remain constantly on and show the error.
- On: The display stays on constantly. This setting can be useful when you are
configuring or servicing the fixture.
- Off: The display will automatically switch off after a few seconds even if the fixture is
not receiving a valid control signal or if it has detected an error.
Fan modes
Four different cooling fan modes are available on the Control / Settings DMX channel
and in the fixture’s control panel. The modes let you choose cooling fan operation
options depending on how you want to allocate priority between light output and fan
noise:
•Regulated mode gives priority to light output and only operates fans as necessary. If
the fixture is blacked out, fans run at minimum speed. When light output intensity is
increased, temperature regulation increases fan speed to the level necessary to
keep the fixture at optimum temperature.
If light output is set to maximum intensity but the fans can keep the fixture at
optimum temperature, there will be no regulation of light intensity. If the fixture
begins to exceed optimum temperature, light intensity will be reduced until
optimum temperature can be maintained.
•High mode sets fans to constant high speed. This mode is optimized for maximum
light output and suits operation in high ambient temperatures and/or where fan
noise is not a critical issue. Light output intensity is smoothly reduced if it becomes
necessary in order to keep fixture temperature at optimum level.
Besides maximizing light output in high ambient temperatures, you can use high
mode to cool down a fixture quickly or to remove dust from cooling fans.
•Medium mode sets fans to constant medium speed. Light output intensity is
smoothly reduced if it becomes necessary in order to keep fixture temperature at
optimum level.
If you want to avoid any automatic reductions in output intensity that may occur in
regulated mode (see above) or if fixture temperature exceeds optimum level, we
recommend that you use medium mode in combination with one of the Output
limitation levels available via DMX and in the fixture’s control panel to keep the
fixture in output/temperature balance.

www.glp.de
18 KNV
User Manual Rev. 1.0
•Low mode sets fans to constant low speed. This mode is optimized for minimum
noise. Light output intensity is smoothly reduced if it becomes necessary in order to
keep fixture temperature at optimum level.
If you want to avoid any automatic reductions in output intensity that may occur if
fixture temperature exceeds optimum level, we recommend that you that you use
low mode in combination with one of the Output limitation levels available via DMX
and in the fixture’s control panel to keep the fixture in output/temperature balance.
In all fan modes, if fixture temperature reaches an unsafe level, LEDs will be shut down
for a period until the fans have brought the temperature down to a safe level.
Fixture information
The Information menu in the control panel gives access to items of information from
the fixture’s sensors and memory. You can check temperature sensor readouts, see
total operating hours counters and power cycle count, and see DMX signal quality
data, for example.
Test pattern
If you need to check a fixture’s orientation, call up the test pattern on the Control /
Settings DMX channel or in the fixture’s control panel. If the fixture is oriented normally,
the test pattern will appear as shown below:
Figure 7. Test pattern
Custom settings and factory defaults
You can customize fixture settings (DMX mode, Fan mode, Pixel orientation, etc.) via
DMX or using the fixture’s control panel. Custom settings are stored after a power
off/on cycle and after a reset.
Two options are available in the fixture’s control panel for deleting multiple custom
settings and restoring defaults:

German Light Products®
KNV User Manual Rev. 1.0 19
•Load Setting Defaults reloads all the fixture’s factory default settings except DMX
address, DMX mode and Control protocol. This option returns the fixture to baseline
settings (default Fan mode, Output limitation, Pixel orientation, Dimmer curve, etc.)
without affecting its basic configuration in an installation.
•Load Factory Backup reloads all the fixture’s factory default settings including DMX
address, DMX mode and Control Protocol. This option reinitializes the fixture
completely and returns to its state when it left the factory.

www.glp.de

User Manual Rev. 1.0
6. Fixture control setup
To configure the KNV for use in a show or fixed installation, you need to open the
fixture’s control menus and configure the fixture’s DMX Address, Control Mode (DMX
Mode) and Control Protocol (DMX, ArtNet or sACN).
If you are using ArtNet or sACN you need to set the fixture’s IP address and SubNet
Mask.
Since these settings are show-critical, they will not be affected if you apply a Load
Default Settings command in the fixture’s control panel.
Note that these settings will be affected if you apply a Load Factory Backup
command in the fixture’s control panel.
