USER MANUAL

Scenes are static lighting states.

Sliders are also known as faders.

Chases can also be called programs. A chase consists of scenes arranged one

after another.

Scanner refers to alighting instrument with a pan and tilt mirror, however DMX controllers can

use this term to control any DMX-512 compatible device as a generic fixture.

MIDI is a standard for representing musical information in a digital format. A MIDI input would

provide external triggering of scenes using midi devices such as a midi keyboard.

Stand Alone refers to a fixtures ability to function independently of an external controller and

usually in sync to music, due to a built in microphone.

Fade slider is used to adjust the fade time between scenes within a chase.

Speed slider affects the amount of time a scene will hold its state it is also considered a wait

time.

Shutter is a mechanical device in the lighting fixture that allows you to block the lights path. It

is often used to lessen the intensity of the light output and to strobe.

Patching refers to the process of assigning fades to a DMX channel within a fixture

Playbacks can be either scenes or chases that are directly called to execution by the user. A

playback can also be considered program memory that can be recalled during a show.

PHYSICAL FADER ASSIGNMENT(OPTIONAL SETUP)

Use this feature combine or unify fixture control attributes for different fixtures. For example; if

you were controlling 4 moving mirrors and 4 moving yokes, the color, gobo and dimmer channels

may not line up ideally on the physical faders. Use this function to re-assign the dimmer, color and

gobo channels 1,2 and 3. From now on you will be able to control the same attributes on all

fixtures using the same fader location. This is also most useful when needing to combine all colors

together.

1. Press and hold RECORD button.

2.While holding the Record button. Press the Flash button #6(3) time.

3.Press the Flash button that you wish to assign the DMX channel output to.
