Remote Macros
Remote macros are accessed through the Remote Macro port on the Facepanel or the
ETCNet2 Video Node. The Remote Macro port connects to switches that can be used to
fire macros in your show file. See Macros, page 155 for information on creating macros.
Express Facepanels have access to four Remote Macros. Expression/Insight Facepanels
have access to eight Remote Macros. Expression/Insight Lighting Playback Controller units
have access to 32 Remote Macros. For wiring diagrams, see Using Remote Macros, page
231 .
You can adjust the settings for each Remote Macro independently. You can assign a
system ID and a macro number to each Remote Macro. This way you can have an
individual remote macro panel execute macros across multiple Emphasis Control Systems
on the ETCNet2 network. If you assign Remote Macros in excess of the number available
to your hardware, they will be ignored.
