Function DMX
CORE StripPoint is equipped with a Wireless Solution W-DMX
wireless radio transmitter and receiver. This allows the fixture colour
to be set up by or synchronized with sequences produced by a DMX
lighting controller or other StripPoint unit when in Receive, or SLAVE
mode.
Alternatively when in MASTER mode the unit can be linked to many Slave units which will then
duplicate the output from the Master on the Slave units.
(NB only 4 channel mode is output at the time of going to press).
If not using a StripPoint as a Master unit then a compatible W-DMX transmitter attached to a DMX
controller is necessary, available separately. This could be a lighting desk, a specific controller, or a
CORE ColourPoint, Point 15, 20 or 30 Master unit.
When the ‘Function DMX’ screen is shown, after a few seconds the
screen automatically reverts to the last mode used, either Master or
Slave. By pressing the
key the ‘DMX Type’ screen is shown,
which allows the user to select the opposite mode using key.
DMX Master Operation
Once Master mode is set change the function to CUSTOM, EFFECT
or STATIC and any Slave units will follow the Master.
The Master may be linked to any number of unlinked slaves by
pressing the Wireless key momentarily.
The adjacent link light will flash for a few seconds whilst it links to the
unlinked slave units then go solid.
While in Master Mode the StripPoint will also output DMX data on the 5-pin DMX Output connector
DMX Slave Operation
When in DMX Slave mode the display will show the current active
DMX Start Address so the unit can be controlled from elsewhere.
The fixture can follow data received wirelessly or via the DMX cable
input. If the cable input is used please ensure that the wireless card is
disabled in the SETTINGS menu.
For Wireless DMX connection (Wireless Solutions W-DMX) the Slave unit needs to be paired with the
StripPoint Master unit or W-DMX transmitter which it will receive signals from (see below for W-DMX
Pairing).
The number of channels being controlled and the pixel mapping depends on the
“DMX MODE”
which
is set in settings Menu. (All RGBW pixels will follow the same colour whilst in 4/5 channel mode,
whilst in 72 channel mode each of the 18 pixels are independently addressable with 4 colours red,
green, blue and white).
In SLAVE mode the entire universe is output on the 5-pin output connector either when used wirelessly
or from a cable, which allows this fixture to be daisy-chained to the next fixture cable DMX Input and so
on.
