Zero 88 FLX Series, Manual

Page: 176 / 233

All FLX range consoles have two DMX Outputs on the rear of the console. By default, DMX port 1 outputs Desk
Universe 1 and DMX port 2 outputs Desk Universe 2 (on 1 Universe FLX S consoles, both DMX Outputs output Desk
Universe 1).
Within the DMX tab, you can choose to disable DMX Output, if you are not using the physical DMX ports and
transmitting DMX over Ethernet instead.
You can also change the Transmission between Continuous or Delta. Continuous transmission will result in DMX data
being sent at a steady refresh rate, and is the default option. FLX consoles transmit at 33Hz, and FLX S consoles
transmit at 29Hz.
Changing the Transmission to Delta, will result in the console sending DMX "updates". This means DMX frames will
be sent whenever there are level changes on the console. If you are controlling a fixture that doesn't seem to be
responding correctly, change the Transmission to see if the fixture prefers the change in frame rate. If it does, your
fixture is not truly DMX compliant.
If you have configured individual Desk Universes, you can press the
Reset to Defaults button to reset the DMX Outputs to their default
settings.
Take a look at the session below for some DMX theory...
streamingACN
Streaming ACN (sACN) is a lighting protocol which sends DMX data over Ethernet. The protocol allows for multiple
DMX universes to be sent over a single Ethernet cable. The protocol is approved by ANSI and ESTA as the standard
for DMX over Ethernet and allows ZerOS to communicate with a multitude of sACN enabled devices already available
from a range of manufactures.
Within the sACN panel, you can choose to enable sACN. Once
enabled, you will be able to configure the sACN protocol. By default,
sACN universes will be mapped 1:1 with Desk Universes.
Reset to Defaults
If you have changed the sACN settings in individual Desk Universes,
you can choose to “Reset to defaults” (which outputs each Desk
Universe on the equivalent number sACN Universe).
