TURN OFF/ON
boot sequence flashing
: You may not want your fixture to report its channel mapping
profile and address every time it receives power. In order to toggle the boot sequence flashes on/off,
follow these steps. First, tap the number field next to the word “Address”. A new screen will appear
asking you to enter a DMX start address. Enter the number 512. Finally, hit the “Assign Address” button.
This will not actually change the DMX address of the light fixture, it will simply toggle the boot sequence
flashing either on or off.
STANDALONE OPERATION
Some applications may not require live DMX control. In order to configure your Gantom 7 for
standalone operation, all you must do is use the channel sliders on the Generic Console screen to set the
desired levels for each channel. Once the light has the desired output, tap the “STORE AS DEFAULT”
button at the lower left portion of the screen to save this setting directly into the light fixture.
Now, when the light fixture receives power it will automatically go to this newly saved DEFAULT setting
once it’s boot sequence is complete.
Please note that if DMX signal is passed to the fixture while it is operating in standalone mode, the DMX
signal will override the standalone setting.
DMX CONTROLLED OPERATION
The Gantom 7 was designed for use with standard DMX512 control systems. In order to maximize
compatibility with existing control hardware and software, the Gantom 7 has several different DMX
channel mapping profiles available. Some users may prefer to operate the Gantom 7 as though it were
an RGBW or RGBA fixture because there are readily available preset profiles for those fixtures on many
existing DMX control environments. The Gantom 7 has five channel mapping profiles available: RGB,
RGBA, RGBW, (MASTER)RGBAWU, and (MASTER)RGBAWLU.
