DMX Mode 2 Channel Mapping (Enhanced Operational Mode)
These tables assume a DMX start address of 1. When a different starting address is used, this address
becomes channel 1 function and other functions follow in sequence.
Note:
For Mode 1 Channel Mapping, refer to
. For Mode 3 Channel Mapping, refer to
. For Mode 4 Channel Mapping, refer to
DMX Map
Mode 2
allows for independent control of each of the three individual LED segments in
terms of Red, Green, Blue, White and Strobe. There is also a way to combine all three segments so you
can control the unit as you would in
Mode 1
.
To select DMX Mode 2, access the Menu System as follows:
DMX -> DMX Map -> Mode 2
IMPORTANT!
When changing the DMX Map (from one mode to another), the luminaire will auto
re-calibrate.
Once
Mode 2
has been selected, there are two additional settings of the control channel, Engines
Combined and Engines Independent. When you first select
Mode 2
, the unit will default to
Combined
Control
.
Combined Control
Combined Control
allows luminaire's set to
Mode 2
to behave as if set to
Mode 1
. Meaning that you
have one set of console controls for all three of the individual segments.
Combined Control
:
•
Channels 7 & 8 controls all three Red
•
Channels 9 & 10 controls all three Green
•
Channels 11 & 12 controls all three Blue
•
Channels 13 & 14 controls all three White
•
Channel 15 controls all three Strobe
•
Channels 16 through 33 have no affect on the luminaire
Independent Control
Independent control allows each of the 3 segments R, G, B, W and Intensity to be set to individual
parameters.
To operate in
Independent Mode
, you have to send a value on the control channel (41) of 153-155.
Please note there is
NO
3-second rule. You should always
HOLD
the control channel at that DMX
value while operating in
Independent Mode
. You can then set levels for each individual segment by
adjusting the corresponding DMX channel.
To return to
Combined Control
, send a value on the control channel of 150-152. Again, the 3-second
rule is not needed.
