5.3.4 Create Presets
Create presents allows the user to create up to four presets then can be arbitrarily assigned
for playback to any given port. The menu gives the option to create the presets in two
different ways: “Capture DMX” and “Manual Levels”. When using “Capture DMX”, the
QolorPIX Controller takes a snapshot of the incoming DMX channels 1 through 32 and
assigns those levels to the selected preset. When using “Manual Levels”, the QolorPIX
Controller allows the user to manually set the values of the channels of the preset directly
from the unit’s display. Values in “Manual Levels” are in decimal (0-255), not percentage.
Presets will not be retained when power is lost unless “Save” is executed from the Main
Menu.
Usage example of “Capture DMX”
-Go to Port 1 Settings and set the “Mode” to “32Ch” and “Port Address” to 1
-Send a DMX signal and adjust channels 1 through 32 to create and tweak that desired
effect. The pixel tape on Port 1 can be used to visually verify the effect being created
-Go to “Create Presets”
-Select the desired Preset
-Select Capture DMX
-Assign the created preset to any port by changing the “Mode” option in the Port Settings
Using example of “Manual Levels”
-Go to Port 1 Settings and set the “Mode” to “P1”
-Go to “Create Presets”
-Select the Preset 1
-Select Manual Levels
-Adjust the values of the various channels to create and tweak the desired effect. The
changes will be reflected on the pixel tape connected to Port 1
-Assign the created preset to any port by changing the “Mode” option in the Port Settings
