To light an actor inside a moving car, you cannot run cables. Gaffers attach a Chroma QMOD to the car’s headliner or under the seat. A V-Mount battery powers both the QMOD and a small LED mat. The lighting console operator controls the intensity and color remotely. Because CRMX has a 1000m range, the signal holds even when the car drives away.
| Pros | Cons | | :--- | :--- | | Superior Color Mixing: No RGB shadows; smooth, even wash. | Price: These are premium fixtures. They cost significantly more than entry-level LED battens (like Chauvet or American DJ equivalents). | | Silent Operation: Excellent for theater and broadcast. | Weight: They are deceptively heavy for their size, requiring secure trussing/rigging. | | Versatility: Works as a cyc light, footlight, or wall wash. | Data Management: Because it draws high amounts of power/current, you must be careful not to overload circuits when linking many units. | | Easy Setup: Linking hardware is tool-less and sturdy. | |
Issue: After installing Chroma Qmod, my game crashes on startup. Solution: The mod is likely for a different version of the game (e.g., v1.6 vs v1.7). Revert to your backup. Always match the mod version to the game patch.
Issue: Colors look too neon; I see rainbow artifacts.
Solution: You have exceeded the bit depth of your panel. Go into the settings.ini and manually reduce the "Saturation" value from 1.5 to 1.2 or 1.1.
Issue: The game runs at half FPS. Solution: Chroma Qmod sometimes conflicts with Vulkan API. Switch your renderer to OpenGL or DirectX 11 in the game’s developer options. chroma qmod
Setting up the QMOD is straightforward if you follow these steps.
Step 1: Mount the Battery Slide a V-Mount or Gold Mount battery onto the back plate of the QMOD. The unit will power on automatically. Check the OLED screen to ensure the battery has sufficient charge.
Step 2: Connect the Fixture Plug your LED light into the PowerCon output on the QMOD. Then, run a short DMX cable from the QMOD's 5-pin XLR output to the DMX input of your light. (Note: The QMOD does not send power over DMX; you need both cables).
Step 3: Set the DMX Address Use the QMOD’s menu to set the "Start Address" for the light. Because the QMOD supports two universes, ensure you select the correct one (Uni A or Uni B). To light an actor inside a moving car, you cannot run cables
Step 4: Link to the Transmitter
Step 5: Test and Lock Bring up your console faders to test the light. Once everything works, set the QMOD to "Lock" mode so that it ignores other transmitters on set.
Chroma QMOD uses a combination of quantum dots and micro-LEDs to produce a wider range of colors. Here's a simplified breakdown:
The result is a display that can produce a wider color gamut, with more accurate and nuanced color representation. Step 5: Test and Lock Bring up your
Chroma QMod represents a significant advancement in lighting control technology, offering a blend of power, flexibility, and usability that is hard to match. By simplifying the process of modifying and customizing lighting scenes and effects, QMod allows lighting designers and technicians to focus on the creative and technical aspects of their work, rather than getting bogged down in software complexities. Whether for a small gig or a large-scale production, Chroma QMod stands as a versatile and reliable tool, empowering professionals to create unforgettable experiences. As technology continues to evolve, the role of tools like QMod will only grow, further transforming the art and science of lighting design.

The Chroma-Q Color Force II is widely considered the industry standard for LED cyc lighting and footlights in theater, film, and broadcast. The "12-cell" version refers to the 2ft modular section (which can be linked with others to create 4ft, 6ft, or 8ft strips).
