Control panel operations
19
- When set to
On
, the lamp strikes automatically after the fixture is powered on.
- When set to
DMX
, the lamp strikes automatically when the fixture begins to receive DMX data, and
lamp power is shut down 15 minutes after the fixture stops receiving DMX data. Automatic lamp strikes
are staggered to prevent all lamps from striking at once. The delay is determined by the fixture address.
No matter what the
AUTOMATIC LAMP ON
setting is, the lamp can be struck by sending a lamp on
command via DMX on channel 21.
•
DMX LAMP OFF
and
DMX RESET
define whether the lamp can be powered off, or whether fixture or
individual effects can be reset by sending a DMX command on channel 21. If either of these settings are
set to
Off
, you can override this setting and cut lamp power or reset effects by applying a special
combination of DMX values (see “MAC III AirFX DMX protocol” on page 43).
•
PARAMETER SHORTCUTS
determines whether the gobo wheels and color wheel take the shortest path
between two positions (shortcuts enabled), crossing the open position if necessary, or always avoid the
open position (shortcuts disabled).
•
DISPLAY
determines whether the display remains on permanently, or goes into sleep mode 2, 5 or 10
minutes after the last movement of the jog wheel or Escape button.
•
DISPLAY INTENSITY
lets you define the brightness of the backlit graphic display. Select
Auto
for
automatic adjustment to match the ambient light level, or manually set the intensity to a level from 0% to
100%.
•
DISPLAY ROTATION
lets you rotate the display manually through 0°, 90°, 180° or 270° so that it can be
read easily no matter how the fixture is oriented. If set to
Auto
, the MAC III AirFX senses its orientation
and rotates the display automatically.
•
ERROR MODE
enables or disables error warnings. If set to
Start
, the display is activated and lights up if
the fixture needs to report an error. If set to
Silent
, the fixture does not light the display with error
warnings but error messages can still be read when the display is activated manually. In both
Start
and
Silent
modes, the status LED in the jog wheel lights amber to indicate a warning and red to indicate an
error.
Factory settings
FACTORY SETTINGS
lets you restore the fixture’s default setup options. Effect calibration is not affected,
so any effects that have been re-calibrated will not be returned to factory calibration settings.
