address and non-overlapping control channels. Two MX-10 Extremes can share the same address if they are to respond
identically: they will receive the same instructions and individual control will not be possible.

Tailoring performance

M O V E M E N T

The MX-10 Extreme provides the three options for optimizing movement to suit different applications. 

P A T I

, the pan and tilt invert menu, allows you to swap the pan and tilt channels (

S W A P

>

O N

), invert pan movement

(

P I N V > O N

), and invert tilt movement (

T I N V > O N

).  These options can be useful in situations where you want

some fixtures to mirror the performance of others with the same DMX address, or when fixtures are not oriented as
programmed.    

P T S P

, the pan/tilt speed menu, provides 2 settings: 

F A S T

 and  

N O R M

.  

N O R M

 is best for most applications.

F A S T

 provides better performance in applications where speed is most important. 

S C U T

, the shortcuts setting, determines whether the color and gobo wheels scroll past open when changing positions.

When set to 

O N

, the wheels can “take a shortcut” and scroll through open when this is the shortest path to the next

position. The wheels do not scroll past open when 

S C U T

 is set to OFF. 

D I S P L A Y

The display menu (

P E R S > d I S P

) determines whether the display remains lit or not. Select 

O N

 to have the display

remain lit, or OFF to extinguish the display two minutes after the last key press. 

To flip the display for easier reading, press [up] and [down] simultaneously.

The display intensity setting (

P E R S > d I N T

) controls display brightness. You can select 

A U T O

 for automatic

dimming of the display using the built-in light sensor, or manually select an intensity level from 10 to 100.     

L A M P   P O W E R

There are two settings that modify lamp control: Automatic Lamp On (

P E R S > A L O N

) and DMX Lamp-Off

(

P E R S > D L o F

). 

There are three options for automatic lamp control: 

O N

O F F

, and 

D M X

. When 

A L O N

 is 

O F F

, the lamp remains

off until a lamp-on command is received from the controller. When 

A L O N

 is 

O N

, the lamp strikes automatically after

the fixture is powered on. When 

A L O N

 is set to 

D M X

, the lamp strikes automatically when the fixture receives DMX

data, and it extinguishes automatically 15 minutes after DMX data is lost. When ALON is either ON or DMX, lamp
strike timing is determined by the fixture address to prevent all lamps from striking at once. 

The DMX Lamp-Off setting effects how the lamp can be turned off. When 

d L O F

 is 

O N

, lamp power can be switched

off by sending a DMX value from 248 to 255 on channel 1 for five seconds. When 

d L O F

 is 

O F F

, the lamp-off

command will not work unless special conditions are met. Refer to the DMX protocol. 

R E S E T

The fixture can be reset from the controller if DMX reset (

P E R S > d R E S

) is 

O N

. If DMX reset is 

O F F

, this

command will not work unless special conditions are met. Refer to the DMX protocol.  

D E F A U L T   S E T T I N G S

The fixture can be reset to its factory default settings by selecting 

d F S E > F A C T > L O A d .
