Setup 

The setup offers advanced settings that can be done before or after an event like factory reset, form-
ing groups of lamps, calibrating colors and setting a keylock when giving away the ARC2. 
 

To enter the SETUP menu, while in the top level of the navigation press the minus button ( - ) 
until  you  see  SETUP,  then  confirm  with  Enter.  If  you  are  not  sure  in  which  level  you  are,
 press the home button, to get to the top level. 
If  SETUP  does  not  appear  on  pressing  the  (  -  )  button,  check  the  KEYLOCK  setting  (Chapter 
5.d). 

 

 
Create a Set:  Sets combine several lamps which can be addressed at the same time and arranged 

in  a  preferred  order  to  stretch  effects  over  them.  Unlike  groups,  a  huge  number  of 
sets (256) can be programmed and targeted with the Target Lamps button. A set can 
also  be  applied  to  only  1  lamp  if  this lamp  needs  to  be  targeted  quickly.  There  are 
several separate manuals and video manuals available to explain you how to create a 
set. Ask your local dealer for that. 

 
Create a Chain: Chained lamps will stretch their effects and programs over several lamps. For example 

the  FLAG  RUNNING  program  can  send  a  pixel  running  one  AL6  until  it  reaches  its 
edge,  then  continue  on  the  next  AL6.  To  allow  a  smooth  running  along  the  chain, 
correct positions have to be assigned to each lamp. 

 
DMX Setup: 

Some Astera lamps do not have a LCD-display so the ARC2 can be used to set them up 
for DMX usage. Also, Astera lamps with LCD-display might  be  easier  configured  re-
motely for DMX because their display cannot be reached. 

 

For additional information refer to the DMX table in Appendix 4. 

 
 

DMX Address:  Sets the DMX address   

 

 
 

DMX Pixels: 

Most Astera fixtures can be defined as 1 pixel or several pixels.  

 

  

 

All pixels:  Every pixel can be controlled individually by DMX 

 

 

Reduced Pixels: Pixels are combined to achieve a fewer pixel count                      

 

 

for easier control. Please refer to the manual of the specific device

 

 

to see how many pixels will be present on DMX when this setting is  

 

 

chosen. 

 

 

One Pixel: The device can be controlled with only  three DMX chan- 
nels.  All pixels are combined into one. 

 
 

DMX Tab: 

Several different DMX tables can be chosen. 

 

 

 

RGB S RGB S..:  For each pixel there are three  

 

 

 

 

 

channels RGB and one channel stroboscope. 

 

 

 

 

 

RGB RGB S S..:  All RGB channels are followed by  

 

 

 

 

all stroboscope channels. 

 

 

 

Effect Mode Fix:   The 4 user colors are controlled by one  

 

 

 

channel per color (generates basic colors). 

 

 

 

Effect Mode RGB:    The 4 user colors are controlled  

 

 

 

 

by three DMX channels each.
