CCT Control
CCT or correlated color temperature allows you to change the color temperature or warmth or coolness of the white light. Fixtures with RGB will be able to control a Green/Magenta shift as well. You can use the preset color temperature buttons for most setups.
HSI Control
HSI or color control allows you to use a color wheel to pick your preferred color. You can save colors to your swatch bar by click the white “+” box. If you have all swatches taken up you can delete a color swatch by dragging it away from that swatch box and letting go.
