Introduction
The Cygnus™ is a high performance LED luminaire in a small, easy to integrate
package. Using an efficient array of 5W LEDs in an RGBW configuration gives
the Cygnus™ a high lumen output with a CRI as high as 92. The LED engines
have a rated life span of 60,000 hours minimizing maintenance concerns for many
years.
The Cygnus™ features an LED color engine capable of millions of colors. The
use of LED quad die technology virtually eliminates the “rainbow effect”
encountered with some other fixtures. Cygnus™ also incorporates in-lens color
mixing eliminating the pixilated look of most fixtures. The Cygnus™ uses
between 7 and 12 channels of DMX depending on which resolution and mode are
selected. Precision control allows for smooth subtle fades or instantaneous jumps
to new colors as well as strobe effects with control of speed, duration and color.
Cygnus™ also has an optional “high speed” mode that eliminates flicker on HD
video cameras.
Model VN100 (Very Narrow) is a 100 watt unit with a 13 degree beam angle.
Model VN200 (Very Narrow) is a 200 watt unit with a 13 degree beam angle.
Model MF200 (Medium Flood) is a 200 watt unit with a 19 degree beam angle.

17
Cygnus™ Operation
RGBMaster and RBGWhite Mode
The Cygnus™ can be operated in either RGBMaster or RGBWhite mode.
In RGBWhite mode, the DMX channels (or channel pairs in 16-bit mode) directly
control light output of the four LED colors independently. Achieving a “white” is
done through the user selecting values for the four color channels. There is no
master fader channel in this mode.
In RGBMaster mode, all color is selected only through the RGB channels. A
fourth channel acts as a master fader for the color mix. If the RGB channels are
all at the same level then the fixture will produce a white light as a combination of
white and other LEDs to achieve a desired white balance. In RGBMaster mode
there is an additional channel to select the white color temperature. If this channel
is set to 0-7% the default white color temperature of 3500 degrees K will be used.
DMX values of 8-100% allow a continuous color temperature selection from
2000 to 7500 degrees K. Color temperature values for specific DMX values can
be found in Appendix A.
Strobe Mode
The Cygnus™ can strobe at rates between 0.25 and 30hz. The Strobe Frequency
channel is used to enable strobing and to select the strobe frequency. If this
channel is set to 0-7%, strobe mode will be off and the unit will operate normally.
If this channel is set to 8-100%, then strobe mode will be on and the strobe speed
will vary from low to high. The unit will strobe with a color and intensity selected
from either the RGBW or RGBM channels.
The Strobe Duration channel allows the user to control the strobe pulse duration
from near 0% to near 100% of the strobe period. A strobe duration of 20-50% will
produce a brighter strobe than if this channel is left at zero.
The Strobe Effects channel allows the selection of pre-defined color jump
sequences in strobe mode. Use Table 1 to set this channel to a specific value to
select a color sequence. In order to enter strobe effects mode, a minimum
DMX value of 8% is required on the Strobe Frequency AND the Strobe
Effects channels.
If strobe effects are selected, then the RGB channels have no effect. If the unit is
in RGBMaster mode and strobe effects are selected, then the Master channel will
still control total light output. If the unit is in RGBWhite mode and strobe effects
are selected, then the White channel will be used as a master fader channel.

18
Video (High Speed) Mode
The Cygnus™ can be used in applications where video cameras are used. In this
mode the light pulses (imperceptibly) at a much higher rate. The High Speed
Video Mode is selected from the menu option labeled “HSP.” In this mode the
fixture is not able to dim as low due to constraints of the high speed pulse rate. All
other modes and functionality of the light are still available in high speed mode,
including Master Fader or RGBWhite modes and strobing.
Stand Alone Mode
The Cygnus™ supports a Stand Alone Mode in which it runs internal queue
loops. This allows simple loops to be run without a DMX source connected.
Several loops are defined from the factory and one loop (the user loop) can be
programmed by the user.
The main menu option “rSA” runs the stand-alone loops. The loops “L1, L2, L3”
are pre-programmed and the loop “USr” is programmed by the user. The unit will
execute a loop only while this menu is not exited. While running a loop, the unit,
acting as the master unit, will send the DMX of the cues out to other units acting
as slave units. It is important to disconnect any DMX going into the master unit
while the master unit is controlling the slave units. The slave units must be set to
Master Mode On and 8/16 bit mode to 8 in order to run the cues correctly. The
Master and slave units also must all be set to the same DMX address. Stand Alone
mode will automatically run when the unit is powered up if it was running the last
time the unit was powered down. When running a cue the display will not time
out and go blank. Loop 1 demonstrates some of the abilities of the Cygnus™,
including strobe mode. Loop2 performs 60 second fades across a rainbow of 6
saturated colors. Loop 3 is the same as loop 2 except that the 6 colors used are not
saturated.
The main menu option “PSA” (Program Stand Alone) allows the user to program
one internal loop of up to eight cues. While running the loops does not require a
DMX input source, programming the DMX values for each cue does. The user
can capture the DMX input to the unit for each of the eight cues by using the
“CAP” menu (see the Menu Tree). The user then manually enters a fade time and
hold time for each cue in units of 0 – 90 seconds using the “FAd” and “Hld”
menus. The fade time is the time to fade to the current cue (not time to fade to
next cue). If a fade time of “End” is selected then that cue marks the end of the
cues. That cue will not be executed but the loop will restart at the beginning. If no
cue fade time is set to “End” then all eight cues will run. Selecting the “End”
option is done by pressing the Down button from a fade value of 0 or pressing the
Up button from a value of 90. When a loop is first executed the fade time of the
first cue will not be performed. When programming cues the user should first set

19
Fader mode On and Resolution (8/16 bit) mode to 8. If the unit is not set into
these modes then it will be forced into these modes while programming the cues.
When programming cues the display will not time out and go blank. Holding
down the menu button will quickly scan across the menu options “Cu1” through
“Cu8”.

Cygnus™ has controls and indicators as follows:
•A three-character seven-segment display
•4 push buttons: Menu, (-), (+), and Enter
•Power (red) and signal (green) indicator LEDs
The Menu button allows the user to switch between menus on the same level of
the menu tree. When the last menu option on a level is passed then the menu will
return up the tree one level (if a higher level exists). See the Menu Tree section
below.
The (+) and (-) buttons allow the user to change a selection for a single option in a
menu.
The Enter button allows the user to enter down into a submenu to change a
parameter or to accept the parameter currently displayed and return up one menu
level. Changes are saved in non-volatile memory when the Enter button is
pressed except when programming a user stand alone loop. Stand alone loop
parameters are saved when the Program Stand Alone menus are all exited and
control returns to the top menu level (where it displays “PSA”).
The red power indicator LED remains lit when the device is powered.
The green signal indicator LED flashes when a DMX or RDM signal is present. It
turns off 60 seconds after the last button press.
