CHN
Number of channels
SYS
This will display OK all of the above are within the limits of DMX.
If the View receives data that is outside the DMX512 specification
the display will change to ERR.
When the SYS parameter shows ERR by pressing the → key, ERR will be
displayed below the parameter with the error. If an error is detected when in the
parameters display the green data led will fast flash.
Note DMX512 that is outside the specification will still be passed through the
10I View as the data is unaltered by the splitter.
If an RDM packet is detected the SCD display will change from 000 to RDM.
User Options
Pressing the → key when User Options is displayed enters the User Options
display.
DISPLAY IN PERCENT – pressing the → button will toggle between percent
and decimal (0 to 255) in both receive and transmit
Pressing the ← button will go to:
HOLD LAST FRAME – pressing the → button will set hold last frame on or off.
If set - In the event of incoming data loss, hold the last correctly received DMX
pass and continue to output. If this function is set then ‘h’ will appear following
the CH: in the receive screen.
Pressing the function button will save the settings and go back to the receive
menu.
Smart Fix/Retime DMX
Pressing the → key in the Smart Fix menu will enter the Smart Fix sub menu.
Pressing the ← key will cycle through the Smart Fix options. Pressing the →
key will enter the function. The Smart Fix facility is to allow some incompatible
DMX systems to hopefully talk to one another. The incoming DMX (however
rough or odd it may be) is stored into memory and a new DMX frame transmitted
with different timings. To escape from Smart Fix press the Function key.
Transmitted parameters as follows:
Send Fast DMX - Break = 100us, Mab = 10us, IBT = 9us, updates = 42 p/s
Send Lazy DMX - Break = 122us, Mab = 34us, IBT = 30us, updates = 30 p/s
Send Slow DMX - Break = 122us, Mab = 44us, IBT = 48us, updates = 24 p/s
Hopefully one of the three types of DMX will allow the systems to communicate.
In Smart Fix all RDM messages are ignored and hold last frame (if selected)
temporally turned off
