FIXTURE ADDRESSING
The SM-8/2 is programmed to control 16 channels of DMX per fixture. Therefore, the fixtures you
wish to control with the corresponding “
SCANNER ” buttons on the unit must be spaced 16 channels
apart (check the respective fixture’s manual for how to enter the information into the fixture).
Note: failure to use these DMX assignments may cause a lack of control of the fixtures.
PHYSICAL FADER ASSIGNMENT (OPTIONAL SETUP)
Use this feature to 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 to faders 1, 2 and 3. From now on you will be able to control the same attributes on all
fixtures using the same fader location.
1) Press and hold PROGRAM & TAPSYNC buttons together (1) time to access the channel assignment
mode.
2) Press a SCANNER button that represents the fixture whose faders you would like to re-assign.
3) Move the SPEED fader until you arrive at controller channel (number).
4) Move the FADE TIME fader to select the DMX channel.
5) Press the MIDI/ADD button to confirm setting.
6) Repeat steps 3 ~ 5 as often as necessary.
If you wish to copy a scanner’s physical assignments to another scanner, continue by following
steps 7-13. If you do not wish to do this, press and hold
PROGRAM & TAPSYNC buttons (2) times to exit
mode.
