Setup
To configure as a WIRED device using an RDM controller:
Start by connecting an XLR5M to three position Phoenix jumper, such as City Theatrical
PN5950 XLR5M and XLR5F to Three Position Phoenix Connector Female, 6"
, or one that
you craft yourself, so you can attach an RDM controller such as a City Theatrical DMXcat.
Using RDM, discover your 5942.
DMX Tab
- Enable or disable RDM traffic downstream of device
- Set DMX Port Label (user selectable name)
- Set Universe (must match between Transmitter and 5942)
- Set DMX Address
- DMX Personality (8- or 16-bit)
Dimmer Tab
- Enable or disable bump buttons
-
Select “Apply to All” to apply your choices to all five Dimmers.
Note: This must be selected
before making any setting changes.
- Set Device Label (user selectable name)
- Select Dimmer Curve (changes the slope of the dimmer curve)
- Select Output Response Time (lengthens the dimmer response time to achieve smoother
dimming)
- Modulation Frequency (sets the dimming PWM to prevent interference or flickering with film
and video camera shutters)
- Set Control Offset (At very, very low levels in slow fades, the LED emitters may energize at
different times. If for instance the red circuit is turning on before green and blue, you can offset
the time that the green and blue outputs begin to fade by raising the value of the Control Offset
above zero. Range is -32,768 to +32,767. Try an offset of 100 first and adjust from there.
Apply DMX and verify system is working.
To configure as a WIRELESS device using an RDM controller:
Start by connecting an XLR5M to three position Phoenix jumper, such as City Theatrical
P/N5950 XLR5M and XLR5F to Three Position Phoenix Connector Female, 6"
, or one that
you craft yourself, so you can attach an RDM controller such as a DMXcat.
If starting from default mode, your 5942 will be in Wired mode, and the green status light will be
blinking. Using RDM, discover your 5942.
