QSCAN DMX SPECIFICS FOR ALL 8 CHANNELS VS MODES: (Ctn’d)
Option 8=224>255
Where ">" means "through" above.
Note: Animations require major system resources, so if the DMX is used to
activate an animation then the DMX data stream is ignored until the animation
plays itself out.
Sound control is important for sound dynamic presentations.
Note: Base+7 is sound override of channels 1 through 6. If set to zero then
no sound controls are enabled except modes specifically sound oriented.
If set to 255 then the sound will override all the DMX channels 1-6.
Selective application of sound override of DMX channels can be mixed in all
possible combinations using the following procedure:
Start with the value 0.
If sound is to control channel 1 (base+1) then add 4 to your number.
If sound is to control channel 2 (base+2) then add 8 to your number.
If sound is to control channel 3 (base+3) then add 16 to your number.
If sound is to control channel 4 (base+4) then add 32 to your number.
If sound is to control channel 5 (base+5) then add 64 to your number.
If sound is to control channel 6 (base+6) then add 128 to your number.
Now set dmx channel 7 (base+7) to the value calculated.
Usually the modes are activated as a sudden preset where all the values are presented within a short time
limit. Slower modifications may require sync. If you are exploring math patterns then you should jog the MIC
control (base+7) up and down quickly to re-sync the pattern. This should be done before saving a pattern as
a preset to visually see what you are about to save as a preset.
To set a DMX address, follow this procedure:
1. Determine your base address. If running a Q-Scan on a Q-Beam your base address should be 12
channels higher than the start address of your Q-Beam. (Example) If your Q-Beam has a start
address of 1 then the Q-Scan should be Base address 13 as the Q-Beam requires 12 channels.
This however will change if the controller you are using groups control channels in banks of 8 or 16.
It may be more convenient to address the Q-Scan on the next bank of faders after the Q-Beam.
2. Set the next fixture in the series of fixtures 9 addresses away from the base address of the Q-Scan
as not to cause address conflicts.
