2-1-Play
This option is only available if a Show is already recorded in the selected slot.
Selecting this option with the
ENTER
button immediately starts playing the currently selected Show. The
Show will loop continuously until explicitly stopped by:
•
the
8-Stop
menu, or
•
the
Stop
button on the
Record/Play Show
screen of Streamer Utilities, or
•
a remote RS232 serial command received from such devices as a DMXPlayBackRemote, or a
custom-programmed RS232 transmitter.
If the selected Show was already playing, it will be re-started from the first frame.
The DMXStreamer then returns to the Show menu, and if no key is pressed during the following three
seconds, will exit the menu system.
If a Show is playing when Show parameters or system settings are changed, the show will be stopped and the
screen will display:
SHOW STOPPED DUE TO
CONFIG CHANGE
2-2-Record/ReRecord
This option is labelled Record if there is no Show recorded in the selected slot. The label changes to
ReRecord if a Show is already recorded in the slot.
Selecting this option with the
ENTER
button starts recording the currently selected Show.
When ReRecording, there may be a delay before recording begins, while the Show memory is erased
and defragmented.
The status display shows:
the number of unique DMX frames recorded
the time elapsed in the current recording session
the percentage of memory used by all Shows
Rec:2455 00:21 Memory
used: 12%
To end recording, either press the
MENU
or
ENTER
button. Recording will stop automatically when all
available memory has been used.
The DMXStreamer optimises the recording process by not recording the duplicate DMX frames generated
by a lighting controller when the lighting is not changing.
On completion of recording, the menu system returns to the 2-2-ReRecord option, ready for another
recording session.
2-3-Erase
This option allows deletion of the currently selected Show.
