Menu System

When Playlist Resume is enabled, the DMXStreamer checks the Playlist on startup, and if an Event is
scheduled to be running at the current system time, that Event will be triggered, and normal Playlist
scheduling will continue.
5-10-Playlist Resume:
OFF
The
SCROLL
button alternates between ON and OFF.
To exit this option without changing the Playlist Resume setting, press the
MENU
button.
The
ENTER
button accepts the setting, then returns to the 5-10-Playlist Resume option.
6-Auto Backup
Selecting this option with the
ENTER
button activates the Auto Backup mode if a Show has been set in
option
5-9-Backup Show
above.
When Auto Backup is active, the DMXStreamer acts as a simple DMX512 repeater between its DMX input
and DMX output connectors, while monitoring the DMX input for the presence of a DMX512 signal.
If the DMX input signal is absent for more than two seconds, the DMXStreamer automatically starts the
Backup Show. The Backup Show will play continuously until manually stopped.
On activation, if there is a valid DMX input to the DMXStreamer, the screen displays:
6-Auto Backup
DMX input OK
If there is no valid DMX input the Backup Show starts playing immediately and the screen displays:
6-Auto Backup
DMX input ERR
If no Backup Show has been selected, the screen displays:
No backup show has been
setup
If the DMXStreamer is turned off, or loses power, it will re-enter Auto Backup mode on startup.
Exit Auto Backup mode
To exit Auto Backup mode, the value
(no show)
must be selected in option
5-9-Backup Show
on page 24.
7-Test DMX
This option enables the DMXStreamer to be used as a simple DMX512 data generator. Any channel in the
DMX frame can be adjusted to any level.

In the value field, the
SCROLL
button steps through the possible decimal data values [0-255] of the selected
DMX channel.
Channel values are entered as decimal values to enable full data precision for robotic equipment.
