Because not all intelligent lighting fixtures are alike or share the
same control attributes, the DMX-7 allows the user to assign
the joystick the correct pan and tilt channel for every fixture.
This means you can control the pan and tilt of any fixture
scanner or moving yoke regardless of the brand or type.
Action
1)
Press the Program button for 2 to 3
seconds to enter the editor.
2)
Select one or more scanners/fixtures by
pressing each Scanner button. Each
respective Scanner LED will light up when
selected. Only select the scanners that
have the same DMX attributes.
3)
Turn the rotary dial on the left to locate and
assign the DMX channel that corresponds
to the pan control. Do the same with the dial
on the right for the tilt channel.
4)
Store settings by simultaneously pressing
the Single/Mix Chase and Fine buttons.
5)
To set the pan and tilt on another type of
fixture on the controller, simply deselect the
previous and select the other Scanner
buttons to assign new pan/tilt settings to the
joystick.
6)
Repeat step 3 and then 4 to complete. All
LEDs will flash twice to confirm.
Notes
You will notice that the Chase LCD display will begin
to blink with a number 1.
The rotary dial on the left assigns pan and the right,
tilt control.
