DMX Control Mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller. When a DMX
signal is present, a “
point
” behind the last digit will blink. The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from
the controller.
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is
the first channel from which the Eventspot 1900 mkII will respond to the controller. Please note when
you use the controller, the unit has up to
12
channels (in TOUR mode). I.e.: When using multiple
Eventspot 1900 mkII in
TOUR mode
, make sure you set the DMX addresses right. Therefore, the DMX
address of the first Eventspot 1900 mkII should be
1(001)
; the DMX address of the second Eventspot
1900 mkII should be
1+12=13
; the DMX address of the third Eventspot 1900 mkII should be
13+12=25
,
etc. Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each Eventspot
1900 mkII correctly. If two or more Eventspot 1900 mkII’s are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Eventspot 1900 mkII’s, you may now start operating these via
your lighting controller.
Note:
After switching on, the Eventspot 1900 mkII will automatically detect
whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the “
point
“
behind the last digit will dim. The problem may be:
•The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Eventspot.
•The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note:
It’s necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
