DMX input allows the ShoMaster to be controlled via an external DMX source. This is useful when front
of house, talent, or artists representatives request control of the FX. The icons displayed on the top of
the homepage indicate the DMX input status, and also allow DMX input to be disabled. In order for the
incoming DMX to control the ShoMaster, DMX input must be turned on, and the key must be in the armed
position. When DMX input is triggering cues, the timers will run, and the cue buttons may illuminate to
indicate which cues are being triggered.
In addition to the homepage DMX icon, input can be enabled/
disabled via the global settings page (Image above).
Another useful option is the ability to offset the DMX input
starting address. This can be helpful if the input device is only
capable of sending a small number of DMX channels, or if
addresses were changed after initial setup. For example, if the
input device only has 12 channels of control, but user would
like the input to control zone 4, which is on channels 12-15, the
user could start the DMX input address at 12.
