RUSH MH 5 Profile User Manual
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control
channels. Two fixtures of the same type may share the same address, if
identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic
purposes and symmetric control, particularly when combined with the inverse
pan and tilt options.
The DMX address is configured using the DMX ADDRESS menu in the control
panel.
To set the fixture’s DMX address:
1. Select DMX ADDRESS and press ENTER to confirm. The present
address will blink on the display.
2. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select the address (1 to 512).
3. Press ENTER to confirm your selection.
Standalone show mode
The fixture has four preprogrammed shows stored in memory. Any of the
shows can be set to run in standalone operation.
For the fixture to run a show in standalone mode, it must not be receiving a
DMX signal and the DMX STATE menu setting (see below) must be set to
MASTER/SLAVE.
You can run a standalone show automatically (auto trig), or you can
synchronize the show with a music beat by setting the SOUND STATE menu
(see below) to ON (music trig).
Selecting a standalone show
To select a show pre-programmed show that will run in standalone show
mode:
1. Select SHOW MODE and press ENTER to confirm. The show that is
currently set will blink in the display.
2. Use the DOWN and UP buttons to select Show 1, Show 2, Show 3 or
Show 4.
3. Press ENTER to confirm your selection.
Master/Slave mode
You can synchronize the standalone shows of fixtures on a data link using
Master/Slave mode. In this mode, the first fixture in the chain (the fixture that
does not have a DMX signal or another powered on fixture connected to its
DMX IN connector) runs a preprogrammed or sound-activated standalone
show and the other fixtures run a standalone show that is synchronized with
the first fixture.
