DMX and real time events
DMX is a standard for digital communication networks that are commonly used to control stage
lighting and effects.
A real time event is a pre-recorded sequence of one or more serial commands which are executed
when a defined trigger occurs. For example:
• A trigger can be timed based (such as Saturday at 1:00pm; occurring every other week)
• A trigger can be event based (such as System powers on, good signal, and so on)
• A trigger can be a number of other events
A real time event can use nested loops and delays. Only statically defined commands can be
executed (such as PWR 0, SHU 1). You cannot use variables or other complex programming
techniques.
Lens control limitations
Normal ILS control of the lens horizontal and vertical positions by the projector respects the
boundaries of the lens keep out area. This area is necessary to prevent damage to components
within the projector. When the DMX controls are used to set the absolute position of the lens,
setting values in these keep out areas may result in an unwanted final lens position. You must
ensure that any interim or final lens positions, at any time during the lens movement, do not enter
the keep out area.
