USER MANUAL
| ENGLISH
Switching off the device cancels the adjustment of the
Manual triggering of the AUTO Mode, which returns
automatically to the Inactive option (OFF).
POWER ON
(Automatic triggering when powering on)
Launches the AUTO Mode automatically as soon as the
device is powered on.
The ICECOLOR can not be controlled thru DMX when set
in this Mode.
BACKUP
(Triggering if DMX signal fails)
This triggering can be classified with an emergency level,
which launches an AUTO Mode conditionally :
If a DMX control signal is received by the ICECOLOR, the
AUTO Mode is not triggered.
If this DMX signal has stopped (no DMX control signal
received by ICECOLOR), the AUTO Mode will be launched
as long as this DMX signal has not been re-established.
As soon as this DMX control signal has been returned,
the ICECOLOR automatically halts its AUTO Mode and
obeys the DMX orders which it receives up to the next
interruption of the DMX signal, which will again cause the
launch of the AUTO Mode of ICECOLOR.
MASTER /SLAVE Mode :
This menu allow to adjust the operation of the ICECOLOR in
Master/Slave Mode. The aim of this function is to synchronise
the operation of several devices reciprocally, without having to
use a console sending a DMX signal to drive them.
The principle of the Master/Slave mode is as follows: a
ICECOLOR projector, one of whose Autonomous Modes was
previously adjusted, is parameterised in MASTER Mode. It is
linked via the DMX512 wire link to other ICECOLOR projectors
in an identical version, which are parameterised for their part in
SLAVE Mode. All of the SLAVE devices will identically reproduce
the light effects created by the AUTO Mode of the MASTER
ICECOLOR projector.
Comments:
The Master/Slave Mode can only function correctly if the
mutually connected projectors via the DMX line are identical
versions.
A MASTER projector can control a maximum of 32 SLAVE
projectors linked by the same DMX line. If the quantity of
SLAVE projectors to be controlled has to be increased
further, it is necessary to use a DMX signal distributor with
multiple outputs (commonly called DMX SPLITTERS), which
receives the DMX signal generated by the MASTER projector
and distributes it on several distinct DMX lines, on which a
maximum of 32 SLAVE projectors will be connected per line.
In order to obtain correct operation of this system, it is
essential that only one projector be configured in MASTER
mode on the DMX line which mutually interlinks several
projectors.
The device configured in MASTER mode actually generates
a DMX signal, in order to control the devices configured in
SLAVE mode. It is therefore important that no other system
(DMX console or other device in MASTER mode) emit a DMX
control signal on the line reciprocally linking the projectors in
order to avoid any conflict.
If the projector configured in MASTER mode detects that
a device of whatsoever nature (projector or DMX control
console) already emits a DMX signal on the DMX line to which
this MASTER is connected, this will then stop emitting a DMX
signal immediately to the devices configured in SLAVE mode
to prevent any conflict problem that this may cause.
The projector configured in MASTER mode shows a
permanent display (MASTER) on its display to indicate its
state.
The projector configured in SLAVE mode has a permanent
display (SLAVE) on its display to indicate its state.
