Fixture setup
You can set up Exterior 400 Image Projector fixtures for DMX control and/or set up stand-alone operation
using the Martin MUM™ Windows application. MUM lets you communicate with one fixture at a time
You can also set up fixtures for DMX control using an RDM (Remote Device Management) compliant DMX
controller such as the Martin M1™ console or the Martin M
­ PC™ WIndows application. An RDM-compliant
DMX controller connected to the data link lets you set up all the fixtures on the link.
Setting up using MUM
The Martin MUM™ (Multi-Utility Manager) application allows you to program and configure Martin Exterior
400 Image Projector fixtures from a laptop PC and features an intuitive GUI (graphic user interface).
Tip! Using MUM, you can connect to and set up one fixture at a time. It is therefore most convenient
if you set up and program the fixture before it is installed.
Refer to the MUM user manual for instructions on installing and starting the MUM application.
Connecting a PC with MUM
To connect a PC running MUM to an Exterior 400 Image Projector:
1. Obtain the Martin MUM application, a Martin DABS 1 interface box and interface cables. These are
available as a set, P/N 90758090, from Martin. If your version of MUM does not cover the Exterior 400
Image Projector, download the ‘Martin DMX Tools’ software package from the Martin website at
www.martin.com. This package includes the latest version of MUM that covers the Exterior 400 Image
Projector. The download is free of charge.
2. Connect the DABS 1 to your PC using the supplied USB cable.
3. Connect the DABS 1’s XLR output to the Exterior 400 Image Projector via the data link. Note that you
may only connect to one fixture at a time.
4. Apply power to the fixture and start the MUM application. The application will automatically detect the
fixture if it is powered on and correctly connected. It will also retrieve and display information and current
settings from the fixture.
