Hello is it possible to add a function to control RGBWA and RGBW fixtures with the Click and go Function?
I have already tyred to control it with the RGB Click and go, but this produces wrong colors.
Click and go with RGBW and RGBWA Fixtures

Hi,
what do you mean by RGBW Click and go? Can you write some details what did you do and what did you expect? Steps, maybe some screenshots?
There is a problem with RGBW/RGBA/RGBAW that we don't know the formulas to convert from RGB to the other color models. Also, the monitor works in RGB mode, so the display of RGBAW colors can't be too accurate.
Another problem is that I don't have a real RGBW fixture, so I can only guess what the result looks like...
Nevertheless, please post your process with as much details as possible, and we'll do something.

Hi everyone,
Before getting into the detail of how RGBAW click and go might work it's as well to consider what the Amber and White LED's are there for.
RGB LED fixtures produce a few discrete wavelengths of light and consequently have poor colour rendition on costumes, skin and scenery compared to tungsten filament lamps which produce a continuous range of wavelengths.
Adding white LED's greatly increases the number of wavelengths present and improves colour rendition. Adding amber LED's makes skin tones appear more natural and produces a better imitation of indoor lighting with candles, oil lamps and firelight. However, this is still not as good as using tungsten filament lamps and gels.
RGB control (ignoring the A and W) is adequate on a RGBW or RGBAW fixture if you want the audience to be entertained by stunning colour effects. If you want them to watch the actors, set the white LED's to the required brightness, warm it up with some amber if available and then use the RGB controls to select exactly what (pale) colour you need.
