MAC Aura XIP User Manual
1. Set the effect to a specific value via DMX (for example, set all the fixtures in a group to DMX value 200
on the zoom channel).
2. Select ‘Enable calibration adjustment’ on the Control/Settings channel and hold for 5 seconds to
activate.
3. The fixture now registers the current positions of all effects and holds them there. To select an effect to
adjust, you must first release it from its hold position by changing the value on its DMX channel by
+/- 10%. The effect then returns to its hold position. The effect's DMX channel now represents the full
calibration range. The range can vary but is typ/- 5-10%. In this case you can adjust the effect’s
position using that effect’s DMX channel (8 or 16 bit) as follows:
• DMX value 0 = -5%
• DMX value 127/32767 = 0%
• DMX value 255/65535 = +5%.
4. Adjust the effect until it is in the required position (for example, adjust the zoom angle on each fixture in
the group until the angle on all fixtures is identical – this is the position that you will obtain when you
send DMX value 200).
5. Send a ‘Store XXX calibration’ command on the Control/Settings channel for each effect that you adjust
and hold that command for 5 seconds to activate. The new calibration offset is now stored in memory.
6. When you have finished adjusting calibration offsets, send value 0 on the Control/Settings channel and
hold for 5 seconds to exit the DMX calibration procedure and return to normal DMX control.
Calibration offsets that are stored in memory are not affected by powering the fixture off and on or by
updating the fixture software.
Restoring default calibration offsets
If you want to delete all custom calibration offsets and return the offsets to their default values:
1. On the Control/Settings DMX channel, send a ‘Return all calibration settings to factory defaults’
command and hold for 5 seconds.
2. The fixture will return all effects to their default calibration values.
Note that, If you have overwritten the factory default values by applying a SERVICE
→
CALIBRATION
→
SAVE DEFAULTS command in the fixture’s onboard control panel, the fixture will return to the calibration
values that were saved as the default values at that time. The SAVE DEFAULTS command in the fixture’s
control panel permanently replaces the factory default calibration settings with the current custom
calibration settings.
