Preventive measures
Please carefully read the following preventive measures carefully:
1. Place a DMX insulator between interface and DMX fixtures (e.g.
Botex DD2) in order to protect them both from any interference
and over-voltage.
2. We advise you to have an available spare RS485 driver IC. This
is an 8-pin electronic IC component that has been set inside the
interface box for the purpose of driving the DMX512 line. It is
available under several references: ADM485JN, SP485ECP,
75176…
3. Create independent scenes in order to lessen the impact of any
potential computer failure. In this case connect interface via an
external power supply.
4. As with any other DMX controller, always keep an independent
backup system in store, as this is the only way to be on the safe
side when faced with any type of problem.
5. Save all your scene programs and safely keep a CDrom
software version: restoring the whole show only takes a few
minutes!
3-PIN XLR
Interfaces have a 3-pin XLR-type connective. If your equipment uses 5-pin
XLR, it will be necessary to weld or purchase an XLR3/XLR5 adaptor. Then
make sure the connection is properly made (pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2…) to
obtain control by USITT standards.
Channel-setting in Setup page
In a few mouse-clicks, you will set all your fixture-channels. The software
always gives the corresponding DMX address via a 10 bit selector.
In the set-up page, you can use these functions:
