WHAT’S NEW
IN DMX DEBUG
A range of powerful new features has been added to DMX DeBug.
1. A number of existing features and new options have been added to
the new setup menu. The setup menu is activated by switching on
DMX DeBug with the MENU key held down. When the setup menu is
active, the menu number displayed in the bottom right of the lcd
screen is prefixed with ‘s’.
The setup menu provides access to:
•
External Power Monitor
•
Firmware Version Number
•
Backlight Enable/Disable Status
•
Power Saving Enable/Disable Status
•
Dark Channel Level
•
DMX Start Code
•
Communication with Mic-Edit
2. The Moving Lamp Library has been expanded:
•
Total capacity of 192 fixtures.
•
Each Moving Lamp can now test up to 36 channel attributes.
•
Moving Lamp definitions can be edited using the PC software
Mic-Edit.
•
New ‘Pan & Tilt’ test allows the DMX DeBug cursor keys to
control pan and tilt for manual focusing.
•
New ‘All’ test steps through each attribute test in sequence.
•
The ramp speed of the automated tests can now be
controlled.
3. The Dark Level feature has been added, this allows the channels that
would normally be at zero in the ‘Rig Check’ or ‘Transmit Dynamic’
modes to be set to a level. This is effectively a pre-heat function and
can significantly improve lamp life, as the lamp filaments are kept
warm during rig check.
4. A Power Save Disable option has been added which allows users to
ensure that DMX DeBug will continue transmitting at all times. This is
particularly useful when using DMX DeBug as a battery powered DMX
booster.
5. Communication to Mic-Edit, the optional PC Editor has been added.
Mic-Edit provides the following features:
•
Edit up to 192 lamp personalities. (Over 120 pre-programmed
entries are supplied with the software).
•
Control the lamp personalities displayed by DMX DeBug.
•
Save custom setups to disc allowing users to reprogram DMX
DeBug with the information needed for a specific show.
•
Edit all 15 Presets.
•
Drag and Drop lamps onto presets to generate custom test
patterns.
•
Control setup parameters such as Start Code, Power Save.
•
Enter a User Name that DMX DeBug will display at start up
and power save.
