11. WORKING WITH BUILT-IN PROGRAMS

 

The fixture comes equipped with a built-in DMX recorder that allows custom programs to be 

installed and recalled directly from the fixture’s control board. Programs can be created and 

stored using the fixture’s control board or by using an external DMX controller. The following 

instructions will detail the procedures for using the on-board system menu as well as using a 

DMX compliant controller. 

 

Memory Statistics: 

Quick Access Programs (Program Part): 3 

Total Number of Programs: 10 

Maximum Number of Steps (Scenes) per a Program: 64 

Total Number of Scenes (Steps): 250 

 

Step 1 – Building Scenes. 

The control will store a maximum of 250 scenes. These scenes are then used to create the 

programs. A program can store one or a maximum of 64 scenes. Keep in mind that a scene 

can only be access when it is stored in a “Program.” If you wish to build a static scene (a 

scene consisting of no movement) for a logo or gobo projection, the scene must be stored 

inside a program. To build a scene follow the instructions below: 

 

• 

Access the main menu and toggle to “Edit Programs” which is menu function 8. 

 

• 

Then tap the “ENTER” button and toggle to “Edit Scenes,” menu function 8-3. 

      • 

When you get to the “Edit Scenes” function tap the “ENTER” button. The screen will 

 

 

then change to Edit Scene 001, this will be menu function 8-3-1. You can then press 

 

 

the “ENTER” button to begin to edit scene 1 or use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to 

 

 

toggle to access scenes 2-250.   

 

•    Once in the scene edit screen you have access to the functions listed below.     

 

 

Tapping the “ENTER” button will instantly allow you to change the values of the   

 

 

selected function in real time. The values can be adjusted from 0~250. Once you   

 

 

achieved your desired value tap the “ENTER” button once again to automatically   

 

 

lock the value into the scenes memory. You can repeat the procedure for all     

 

 

functions listed below:         

 

 

 

-    “Auto Program” – Allows access to all of channels 21’s DMX traits.   

 

 

 

-    “PAN” – pan movement.
