Setting up the Jester24/48
•
Clear the desk to defaults to ensure a 1:1 patch. (NB: if you wish to save any
old show data to USB, do this first). To clear the desk, go into Super User
(hold
SHIFT
and
MODE
for a few seconds), then select
Reset Desk
, select
<OK>, and confirm the warning pop-up. Once back in the main Super User
menu, hold
MODE
for a few seconds to leave Super User.
•
Make sure the desk is in
Preset Mode
(hold
MODE
for a couple of seconds if
in Run Mode or Program Mode).
•
Set all the preset faders to zero, the A Master to full, and the B Master to zero.
Raise the Grand Master to full, and ensure that Blackout is not active.
•
Set the fade time and speed pots to Manual (click off).
•
Press the
Page B
button so that 25-48 is selected and the
STORE
button
lights up orange.
•
Make sure that the
A FADERS, B STORED
LED is lit, if not, press the
STORE
button so that it is.
Setting up the JesterML
•
Set a 1:1 patch for all 48 preset channels. This is done in the
DMX Patch
menu in Setup (hold
SHIFT
and
MODE
for a few seconds to enter Setup). You
can either do this manually if you wish to keep your fixture patch addresses, or
hold down
CLEAR
for a few seconds to set the default patch (which will
unpatch the fixtures). To auto-patch the fixtures consecutively after the 48
preset channels, hold down
SHIFT
and
CLEAR
for a few seconds.
•
Return to the main Setup menu, and scroll down to
DMX Input Setup
. In this
menu, set the mode to
Chans+Subs
, and set the
Wing Width
to 24.
•
Return to the main Setup menu, and hold
MODE
for a few seconds to leave
Setup.
Testing the Setup
•
Put the JesterML into Preset Mode. Set the A Master to full, and the B Master
to zero. Raise the Grand Master to full, and ensure that Blackout is not active.
•
On the JesterML, press the
Page B
button so that the bottom LED is lit and
the
STORE
button lights up orange.
•
On the JesterML, make sure that
A FADERS, B STORED
is displayed on the
main LCD, if not, press the
STORE
button so that it is.
•
Move the channel faders on the Jester24/48 to fade the channels up and
down. The results can be seen on your dimmers, and on the monitor screen
connected to the JesterML.
•
When programming, all operations are performed on the JesterML. Only the
preset faders are used on the Jester24/48.
Saving Shows
All show data is recorded on the JesterML, so save shows to a USB memory stick on
the JesterML. You may save the default setup of the Jester24/48 too if you wish, but
there is no real need since this will only contain the default 1:1 patch on that desk.
Memories & Submasters on the JesterML will include the preset channels recorded
from the Jester24/48. Other channels from the DMX Input are ignored and not
recorded – in this simple setup these will all be at zero anyhow.
