DMX Input Modes
This option allows you to enable or
disable the DMX input signal to
the dimmer without having to
physically disconnect the DMX
cable.
When the DMX input is enabled,
you can choose between two
modes of operation - HTP mixing
or DMX takes precedence.
If the dimmer is in
Network Mode
,
you can also turn the selected
DMX Input mode for the dimmer,
on or off for each area defined on
the dimmer.
If the DMX Input is enabled, you
can select the DMX Fail Mode,
that is, choose what happens to
the dimmer outputs if the DMX
input signal fails (Hold DMX, Fade
to Black or Fade to Memory).
When the DMX Input is disabled,
any DMX input signal is ignored.
DMX Disabled
Any DMX Input is ignored by the
dimmer.
The
outputs
are
determined by the manual control
and memory or sequence levels
only, which are HTP mixed
together.
DMX HTP Mix
The DMX Input signal is mixed on
a HTP (highest takes precedence)
basis with the manual control and
memory or sequence levels to
give the final output levels.
DMX Takes Precedence
When the DMX Input signal is
available, it takes precedence
over the manual control and
memory/sequence levels - the
outputs go to the DMX Input
levels.
When the DMX Input signal is not
available,
the
outputs
are
determined by the manual control
and memory or sequence levels
which are HTP mixed.
