P7

SHORTEST DISTANCE
This setting is for the color wheel and for the gobo wheels. Switched to ON (default) it always
take the shortest route from one color/gobo to another. Switched to OFF it routes only from the
first color/gobo to the last color/gobo and backwards.
5.2 FACTORY DEFAULTS

DEFAULTS. After confirming SURE? with „ENTER“, the personal settings of the P7 will be set
back to factory defaults.
5.3 USER DEFAULTS
If personal settings are done in the PERSONALITY menu, the user can save and reload it in the
USER DEFAULTS menu. To make sure that the personal settings are not changed quickly on a
stage, the save progress is locked with the password „JB-LIGHTING“.

by pressing key „ENTER“. The DMX address can also be changed in the menu DMX ADDRESS.
5.5 PERSONALITY
DMX INPUT MODE
The P7 provides an embedded radio-DMX receiver. The receiver works with the JB-Lighting
Wireless TRX transmitter. To enable the P7 to receive radio-DMX change the menu from WIRED
(factory default) to WIRED/WIRELESS. The fixture needs to be logged in to the Wireless TRX
transmitter. To log-in press the „Start“ button (see also manual Wireless TRX). The radio chan-
nel is displayed when the P7 is logged. The main display will show the intensity of the incoming
signal. If the P7 is connected either via DMX cable and radio-DMX, the cable signal has priority.
DMX MODE
The P7 offers 3 different operating modes (see DMX protocol on page 41). Mode 1 is an 8 bit
mode (8 bit for all features; PAN/TILT is always 16bit), in this mode you can control all features of
your P7 using less channels. For using relevant channels in 16bit use the mode 2. This mode is
for smoother operation with the P7. The mode 3 is a compressed mode to reduce the channels
to a minimum.
PAN / TILT
RESOLUTION sets pan and tilt to 8 bit or 16 bit control resolution. The default setting is 16 bit.
If this fine resolution is not required, you can set to 8 bit for quicker operation of pan/tilt values.
The PAN INVERS and TILT INVERS commands invert the direction of pan and tilt. The PAN/TILT
SWAP command sets pan commands to tilt and vice versa.
CURVES
The curve can be adjusted for the dimmer channel. There is a square-law curve for finer control
at low intensity and coarser control at high intensity and a linear-law curve available.
CAMERA MODE
For flicker free recording in TV-studios the P7 offers three different modes from 50 Hertz
(PAL, Secam) to 60 Hertz (NTSC). Flex mode is designed, if cameras have a refresh frequen-
cy that makes the 50 or 60Hz settings ineffective. Factory default is 60Hz. Access the menu
PERSONALITY -> CAMERA MODE and choose the required frequency. To confirm press
“ENTER”. This can be also controlled with the control channel (channel 5) via lighting desk, see
on page 42.
