CONTROL CONSOLE USER MANUAL
CONTROLLING MEDIA SERVERS
Overview
Digital lighting media servers can be operated from the console using DMX512 protocol. When patched, the media
server parameters can be controlled using the console encoders, windows and command-line keypad just as you
would control automated luminaires.
Media servers are automatically created when an available media server is quick-patched from the patch dialog.
Note: For additional instructions specific to controlling a particular media server, refer to the documentation included
with your media server.
Media Server Setup
Once a media server is patched, it can be edited using the Media Server Setup window available from the Setup
menu. All servers are listed along the left side of the screen, while settings for the selected sever are shown on the
right. At the top of the window is a list of channels that are assigned to the selected media server.
Guidelines:
+
Server settings may only be changed while in Patch Edit mode.
+
Settings may be changed for multiple servers at once by using [Shift] or [Command] while selecting multiple
servers in the left column.
Note: This new Media Setup window was introduced with Vx76 software version 3.0. However, to accommodate
older show files, the previous version of the Media Setup window is still available by selecting Legacy Media Setup
from the Setup menu. Refer to "Legacy Media Windows" on page 241.
