2.4.1   Setting up the Names 

 

Selecting “SET_UP” will display   

 
DONE    |Setup system password? |PASSWORD 
MORE    |Load or save Presets?  | PRESETS

  

 

Selecting “MORE” will display   

 
DONE    |Set data stream names?  |   NAMES 
MORE    |Clear current patch?   |   CLEAR

  

 

Selecting “NAMES” will display   

 
DONE    |Set data stream names   |   INPUT 
        |Select I/P or O/P?     |  OUTPUT

  

 

At this point, either the input or the output names may be selected and set-up. 
Selecting “INPUT” will display. 

 
DONE    |Input 01 is shown as:  |    EDIT 
HIDE    |Name:   INPUT 01       | NXT IN+

  

 

Pressing “HIDE” will display “Input 01 is HIDDEN”. And the stream will not appear in the 
patch menu. Thus if any streams are unused then hiding them makes patching easier. The 
Stream can always be changed back to “SHOWN” at a later stage. Press “NXT IN+” to select 
the next input or “EDIT” to edit the name. 

 

The “EDIT” screen looks like this. 

 
SAVE    |Input 01 is shown as:  |  INC(+) 
CURSOR  |Edit:   INPUT 01       |  DEC(-) 

 

The “INC” and “DEC” buttons will change the character indicated by the cursor. Holding 
down either button will cause continuous scrolling. 

 

The “CURSOR” button will advance the cursor to the right. Note that a maximum of 14 
characters are allowed for any name in the 

DMXchange

 

The “SAVE” button will save the new name and return to the previous menu. 

 

After a stream has been given a name, this name will appear in place of the input or output 
reference. 

 

E.g. If Input 01 is named “Prompt Corner” then any menu that would usually display “Input 
01” will now show “Prompt Corner” instead. 
 
 

2.4.2  Setting Up a Password 

 

From the main menu select “SETUP”. The display shows. 

 
DONE    |Setup system password? |PASSWORD 
MORE    |Load or save Presets?  | PRESETS

  

 

Select “PASSWORD”.  The display shows. 

 
SAVE    |Enter new password as  |  INC(+) 
CURSOR  |desired: ‘         ‘   |  DEC(-) 
 

Set-up a four character alphanumeric name and press “SAVE”.
