Safety and Precautions
On startup, if the fixture is set to DMX mode and a DMX signal is not present
via the DMX connectors, all of the LEDs will glow dimly. This feature can be
used for troubleshooting your DMX control lines. Once DMX is detected the
fixture will instantaneously respond to the command it is given.
Overheating and Fan Fault All Miro Cube 2 fixtures are equipped with an
internal temperature sensor. 4C & 4CA: If an overheat condition is
experienced, all of the red LEDs will glow dimly. If the fixture experiences a
fan fault, all of the blue LEDs will glow dimly. WNC: If an overheat condition
is experienced, the Warm LEDs will glow dimly. If the fixture experiences a
fan fault, the Cool LEDs will glow dimly. UV365: If an overheat condition or
fan fault condition is experienced, all of the LEDs will glow dimly. Should
either of these conditions occur, disconnect the fixture from its power source
and wait three seconds. Plug the fixture in again. If the condition persists,
contact TechSupport@rosco.com for assistance.

DMX/RDM Mode
1. 8bit LEGACY (4ch): This mode uses 4 raw intensity faders (red, green,
blue, amber/white) 2. 16bit LEGACY (8ch): This mode uses 8 faders to control
the colors (red coarse, red fine, green coarse, green fine, blue coarse, blue
fine, amber/white coarse, amber/white fine) 3 . 8bit+ MASTER (5ch): This mode
uses 4 raw intensity faders (red, green, blue, amber/white) and uses a fi h
fader for master dimmer. 4. 8bit+CCT_2CH (2ch): This mode uses two faders to
control CCT and intensity. The first fader is CCT (2200K to 10,000K), and the
second fader is intensity. 5. 8bit_1MASTER (1ch): This mode can be used to
“lock” in a specific color/recipe. For example, if the user is in personality
1 and mixes a color purple, then switches to personality #5, the color purple
will be locked into memory. Even when the fixture is power cycled, the color purple will always come up. This locked in color can be dimmed with a single channel of DMX, and/or 0-10V on hardwired versions. 6. 8bit+ DUAL (6ch): This mode allows the user to switch between CCT white mode, and raw color mode using the 6th DMX fader. When the 6th channel is below 50%, the fixture will use 4 raw intensity faders (red, green, blue, amber/white) and channel 5 for master dimmer. When the 6th channel is above 50%, the first channel will be CCT, and channel 5 will remain master dimmer. 7. 8bit NO PWM (4ch): This mode uses 4 raw intensity faders and does NOT PWM the LEDs – the fixture adjusts the currents to change the brightness. This causes the fixture to be more “steppy” between brightness settings, but will never flicker on camera (even at high frame rates).
DMX/RDM Mode
1. 8bit LEGACY (3ch): This mode uses 3 raw intensity faders (warm, neutral,
cool) 2. 16bit LEGACY (6ch): This mode uses 6 faders to control the colors
(warm coarse, warm fine, neutral coarse, neutral fine, cool coarse, cool fine)
3. 8bit+ MASTER (4ch): This mode uses 3 raw intensity faders (warm, neutral,
cool) and uses a forth fader for master dimmer. 4. 8bit+CCT_2CH (2ch): This
mode uses two faders to control CCT and intensity. The first fader is CCT
(2800K to 6000K), and the second fader is intensity. 5. 8bit_1MASTER (1ch):
This mode can be used to “lock” in a specific color/recipe. For example, if
the user is in personality #1 and mixes warm and cool and then switches to
personality #5, the recipe will be locked into memory. Even when the fixture
is power cycled, the recipe will always come up. This locked in color can be
dimmed with a single channel of DMX, and/or 0-10V on hardwired versions. 6.
8bit+ DUAL (6ch): This mode allows the user to switch between CCT white mode,
and raw color mode using the channel 6 DMX fader. When the 6th channel is
below 50%, the fixture will use 3 raw intensity faders (warm, neutral, cool)
and channel 5 for master dimmer. When the 6th channel is above 50%, the first
channel will be CCT, and channel 5 will remain master dimmer. 7. 8bit NO PWM
(3ch): This mode uses 3 raw intensity faders and does NOT PWM the LEDs – the
fixture adjusts the currents with analog to change the brightness. This causes
the fixture to be more “steppy” between brightness settings, but will never
flicker on camera (even at high frame rates).
1. 8bit LEGACY (1ch): This mode uses 1 raw intensity fader (UV) 2. 16bit
LEGACY (2ch): This mode uses 2 faders to control the colors (UV Coarse, UV
Fine) 3. 8bit+ MASTER (2ch): This mode uses 1 raw intensity fader (UV) and
uses a second fader for master dimmer. 4. 8bit NO PWM (1ch): This mode uses 1
raw intensity fader and does NOT PWM the LEDs – the fixture adjusts the
currents with analog to change the brightness. This causes the fixture to be
more “steppy” between brightness settings, but will never flicker on camera
(even at high frame rates). 5. 8bit_1MASTER(1ch): This mode can be used to
“lock” in a specific brightness. Then one channel of DMX or 0-10V on hardwired
versions can be used to dim the brightness down.

DMX/RDM Mode
Filament Fade can be set with RDM or with the User Interface. This setting
will overlay a smooth dimming effect over the incoming DMX which will cause
the fixture to better emulate the dimming curve of traditional fixtures. This
feature can also be used to help smooth out a steppy DMX source. Four settings
are available: 1. OFF 2. MIN 3. MED 4. MAX
Traditional four color fixtures will divide the total power consumption evenly
across all four channels. For example, a 50W four color fixture will allocate
12.5W for each color which will only allow the user to achieve the full 50W
power level when all colors are set to full.
Our patented Ludicrous Mode technology enables Miro Cube 2 fixtures to utilize
their full potential no matter what hue or color temperature they’re
producing. For example, Ludicrous Mode will allow the user to achieve the full
50W output when the color purple is mixed with Red and Blue. A traditional
fixture would only output 25W with Red and Blue. Miro Cube 2 ships with
Ludicrous Mode enabled. Two settings are available. 1. Ludicrous Mode 2.
Standard
In all personalities except NO PWM mode, the PWM frequency can be set.
Typically, faster PWM frequencies are better. The fixture ships in 16khz by
default. Two settings are available: 1. 16kHz (16,000hz) 2. 4kHz (4,000hz)
DMX/RDM Mode
The fixtures can be given a name by editing the Device Label using RDM. The
fixture’s DMX Start Address can be adjusted using RDM.
The fixture’s unique Serial Number and Firmware Revision can be obtained using
RDM The Air Temperature flowing through the fixture can be monitored using
RDM. The fixture will Over Temperature fault at 76ºC (170ºF). This internal
temperature will only be reached when the fixture is operating at full power
in environments over 50ºC (122ºF) ambient temperatures.
The total runtime in Hours and number of Power Cycles is recorded and can be
obtained using RDM.
0-10V Dimming
The hard-wired power cable attached to Miro Cube 2 fixtures can be used with
standard 0-10V dimmers to adjust global intensity using the fixtures’ Master
Dim Mode.
Purple and Gray wires are to be used with standard 0-10V dimmers. These wires
should be properly insulated from all electrical circuits when not used.
NOTE: To achieve proper 0-100% intensity control, high-level and low-level
trimming may be required on the 3rd party dimmer depending on the total number
of fixtures connected together. A maximum of 200uA will be sourced from each
fixture to the dimmer.
The Miro Cube® 2 must be set to a personality that uses Master Dimmer for use
with a 0-10V dimmer. The DMX channel associated with Master Dimmer will set
the maximum global brightness, and the 0-10V dimmer will lower the global
brightness from that point. If a 0-10V dimmer is not connected to the Purple
and Gray wires, the fixture will ignore 0-10V control. Personality 5 can be
used in conjunction with a 0-10V dimmer without DMX. A user can “lock in” a
recipe or color into Personality 5, DMX can be removed and a 0-10V dimmer can
be used by itself to adjust intensity.

In all personalities except NO PWM mode, the PWM frequency can be set.
Typically, faster PWM frequencies are better. The fixture ships in 16khz by
default. To change the PWM Frequency setting, press MENU until “SET TO 16KHZ
PWM?” or “SET TO 4KHZ PWM?” appears on the screen, and press OK.
OPTI-SCULPTTM Beam Shaping Lenses
The beam angle can be easily adjusted using Rosco OPTI-SCULPTTM beam shaping
lenses. Using a Miro Cube® 2 without an OPTI-SCULPT lens will create a narrow
beam angle.

NOTE: Miro Cube 2 4C, 4CA, and WNC fixtures ship with an OPTI-SCULPT Lens Kit
that contains three Rosco OPTI-SCULPT Lenses: 20°, 30°, and the reversible
40°R60°. All of the other individual OPTI-SCULPT lenses are available for the
Miro Cube 2 as well. Visit the Rosco OPTI-SCULPT product page to learn more
about these unique beam-shaping lenses.
OPTI-SCULPT is not intended for use with the Miro Cube 2 UV365 black light.
The UV365 model ships with a custom-engineered 10° Lens Optic that attaches to
the fixture via the same style of thumbscrews. A 22° Lens Optic accessory is
also available if a wider beam spread is needed.
