shows. Out of box the default preset show is:

The preset show set will run and loop every time you 
power the unit up.

 

The playback sequence will stop 

only  when,  another  personality  is  selected,  or 
another preset is activated.

 

 

If  you  do  not  want  the  Pixel  Port  to  generate  any 

output  when  powered  up,  simply  change  the 
personality to Direct mode.

 

When the Pixel Port is restored,

 

the first 14 presets will 

always be reset to factory default .
