Mode Menu (MODE)

The Mode menu allows you to set the fixture type and protocol and
crossload software versions from one fixture to all other Technobeam-i
fixtures on the link. The procedures below are listed in the order that
they appear on the menu map.

Setting the Fixture Type and Protocol (TYPE)

Use this menu item to change the fixture type and protocol. The
protocol is specific to the fixture and determines the number of DMX
channels the fixture will use.

Note

Although Technopro and Technoray fixtures have been
discontinued, their menu options still exist in the
protocol.

Available protocols are listed below:

TB F

(Technobeam full protocol) - for use with Technobeam

fixtures without an iris. This protocol uses 18 DMX
channels and is recommended, unless you need to
conserve the extra four DMX channels for other devices on
the link. The full protocol gives you more control over pan
and tilt position and litho spin speed. This protocol allows
you to access the Laser Aiming Device™ (LAD) or macros.

TB R

(Technobeam reduced protocol) - for use with Technobeam

fixtures only. This protocol uses 14 DMX channels. You
should use this protocol if you need to conserve the extra
four DMX channels for other devices on the link, and your
fixtures do not have an iris.
