    LiteDimmer Spectrum Firmware v2.2 Release Notes

    Spectrum OS2 is an update to LiteMat Spectrum controllers. The update includes improved DMX handling and the ability to prioritize the menu tree. Color algorithm is resolved by correcting green tint in True Hybrid mode. Unique RDM ID for each LiteDimmer has also been added to the latest update. Since OS2 has been built from the ground up, stability and reliability are improved and rock-solid.

    A USB-A to 5-pin XLR Kino Flo Updater Cable is required.
