Gilderfluke&Co DMX-512 Output MultiShow Brick - Manual (Page 18)

Ease-In will be needed. You can specify which sequencer(s) are to be affected by this
command. Continuing a sequencer which has not been paused will have no effect.
h) E-Stop Sequencer: This command will:
1) Immediately stop the affected sequencer(s).
2) Load the shows that have been selected for the ÔPowerUp/E-Stop ShowsÕ.
Show data will be output from the first frame of these shows.
3) An Ease-In will be performed to smooth out any possible jumps in the analog
outputs.
4) Lock the effected sequencers to keep them from starting any other show until
the E-Stop is cleared by a ÔClear E-StopÕ command.
You can specify which sequencer(s) are to be affected by this command.
i) Clear E-Stop: This command unlocks the selected sequencers so that they may once
again accept commands to play other shows. Clearing an E-Stop on a sequencer
which hasnÕt been E-Stopped will have no effect.
e) PowerOn/E-Stops go to show number: This command allows you to select which show each
individual sequencer should go to when:
a) Power is first applied to the BR-MultiShow.
b) An E-Stop condition is triggered.
The shows that are selected for the PowerOn/E-Stop should have their first frames pro-
grammed with the default analog values for the individual sequencers.
f) Ease-In Speed: Ease-Ins perform a cross fade from the current values for all analog channels
towards the new values that are being updated on that sequencer. If the target is moving,
then the analog output will start at the previous values and start to follow the new commands
more and more as the Ease-In times out.
This command is used to set how long an Ease-In will take for each of the eight se-
quencers. The speeds available are:
a) .5 seconds
b) 1.0_seconds
c) 2.1 seconds
d) 4.2 seconds
e) 8.5 seconds
f) 17 seconds
An ease-In will be triggered whenever:
a) Any show is started on a sequencer that already has a show running on it. Because
the sequencer is in the midst of a show, the analog values probably arenÕt at the de-
fault positions for the sequencer.
b) A show is started on a sequencer which had the last show stopped before it reached
its end. Since the sequencer was stopped before it reached the end of a show, the
analog values probably arenÕt at the default positions for the sequencer.
c) An E-Stop is triggered for a sequencer. This causes the analog values to jump to the
first frame of the PowerOn/E-Stop show(s).
d) When DMX-512 is first received.
e) When DMX-512 reception is lost.
g) Ease-In Channels: Ease-Ins perform a cross fade from the current values for all analog chan-
nels towards the new values that are being updated on that sequencer. If the target is mov-
ing, then the analog output will start at the previous values and start to follow the new com-
mands more and more as the Ease-In times out. An ease-In will be triggered whenever.
This command is used to set which channels are considered to be analogs for each of the
eight sequencers. If you have analogs that use more than eight bits of resolution, only select
the channelÕs most significant byte (MSB) as an analog. The LSBs will jump to the new values.
Analog channels will be Eased-In whenever:
