3.4. DMX COLOR 1 mode.
To control the light in DMX COLOR 1 mode just 1 channel of DMX-512 signal. This is
the DMX channel address (0 to 512) set in the SPL-3 driver.
For values from 0 to 20 in the channel control all the LEDs connected to the controller
outputs SPL-3 are dimmed.
Values from 21 to 160 determine the color of the LED. Smooth change of value in this
field causes a smooth change of color tone, the transition of one color into another. Appear in
red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, pink, white and more than 100 shades of
intermediate colors.
161 value activate automatically smooth change of colors. Increasing the value in the
DMX channel from 161 to 255 user controls the speed of color changes from very slowly till
the highest giving effect of flashing.
If there is a need to adjust the brightness of the LED, you must activate the DIMMER,
which will be assigned another DMX channel address that is about more than one control
channel address of the color of glow.
Similarly, you can activate the STROBE, which will be assigned another DMX channel
address that is by 1 larger than the channel address DIMMER function.
If you activate the function STROBO without function DIMMER, an active channel for
the STROBE function is DMX control channel again after the color of glow.
Thus, SPL-3 driver working in DMX COLOR 1 mode, one can use the COLOR of 1, 2 or
3 channel DMX-512, those sequence is as follows:
1 – channel COLOR
2 – channel COLOR + channel DIMMER
2 – channel COLOR + channel STROBE
3 – channel COLOR + channel channel STROBE
3.5. DMX RGB mode.
To control the light in DMX RGB mode uses 3 to 5 DMX channels, depending on the
configuration of the controller.
The first 3 DMX channels (from the driver set the DMX address) always determine the
brightness of colors R, G, B for the three outputs CH1, CH2 and CH3.
Another DMX channel can adjust the brightness of all colors at once, if the function
DIMMER is activated during driver configuration.
The last DMX channel can activate the blinking of all LEDs flashing by adjusting the
speed by changing the value of DMX in this channel, if STROBE function is activated during
driver configuration.
If you activate the function STOBO without function DIMMER, an active channel for the
function is the fourth STROBE DMX channel, that is, again after three channels.
Number and sequence assignment of DMX channels controller features SPL-3 in DMX
RGB mode is as follows:
3 – channel R + channel G + channel B
4 – channel R + channel G + channel B + channel DIMMER
4 – channel R + channel G + channel B + channel STROBO
5 – channel R + channel G + channel B + channel channel STROBO
