7. 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.
