Chases can also be called programs. A chase consists of scenes arranged one
after another.

use this term to control any DMX-512 compatible device as a generic fixture.

provide external triggering of scenes using midi devices such as a midi keyboard.

usually in sync to music, due to a built in microphone.

Speed slider affects the amount of time a scene will hold its state it is also considered a wait
time.
Shutter is a mechanical device in the lighting fixture that allows you to block the lights path. It
is often used to lessen the intensity of the light output and to strobe.
Patching refers to the process of assigning fades to a DMX channel within a fixture
Playbacks can be either scenes or chases that are directly called to execution by the user. A

Setup
SETTING UP THE SYSTEM

mounted, occupying six rack spaces(7u).
2) Plug the AC to DC power supply into the system back panel and into the mains outlet.
3) Plug in your DMX cable(s)to your intelligent lighting as described in the respective fixtures
manual. For a quick overview of DMX see the DMX Primer on page 11.

PHYSICAL FADER ASSIGNMENT(OPTIONAL SETUP)
Use this feature combine or unify fixture control attributes for different fixtures. For example; if
you were controlling 4 moving mirrors and 4 moving yokes, the color, gobo and dimmer channels
may not line up ideally on the physical faders. Use this function to re-assign the dimmer, color and
gobo channels 1,2 and 3. From now on you will be able to control the same attributes on all
fixtures using the same fader location. This is also most useful when needing to combine all colors
together.
