•
Port activity is determined by the traffic through each port. The display may read active
or inactive.
•
Refresh rate is the only user-selectable setting within this menu. When a DMX port is
set to input or disabled, the refresh rate is not selectable or changeable. Refresh rate
settings do not affect updates to streaming sACN outputs data.
•
The “Best/Auto” setting is default and allows the application to determine the
refresh rate of output DMX to optimize frame sends.
•
The “Slow 31Hz”, “Med 35Hz”, “Fast 41Hz”, and “Max 44Hz” yield pre-configured
DMX timing and are provided as tools to assist in compatibility issues with DMX
receiving devices that require a specific setting.
Step 1:

menu. DMX Settings displays with Port A Refresh selected.
