To ensure that all necessary channel data is recorded by
the DMXStreamer, the number selected should not be less
than the highest DMX channel used in the connected
control system.
Recording channels beyond this range is not necessary, as
the DMXStreamer always outputs 512 channel frames.

Streamer Utilities
Streamer Utilities is the Windows™ based companion
software package for DMXStreamer that gives remote control
of all DMXStreamer record, replay and scheduling functions.
It also provides off-line schedule editing and enables updates
to the unit's firmware (internal software).
Streamer Utilities appears as a single window with a row of
tabs giving access to each of its functions.
Backup Show
The Backup function allows any of the Shows currently in
memory to be downloaded from the DMXStreamer to the
Streamer Utilities computer for archival storage and editing.
To get a current list of the Shows in the DMXStreamer, select
the Update List button. (This action also serves as a quick test
of the link between the computer and the DMXStreamer).
If the link between the computer and the DMXStreamer is not
functioning, an error message will be displayed.
If error message appears:
Check that the DMXStreamer is switched on and
running.
Confirm that the RS232 cable is connected at each
end.
Check that the correct serial port has been selected
from the Setup option in the main menu.
Check that the DMXStreamer is at the top of the
menu system. Press the MENU button repeatedly
until 1-Select Show appears.
Switch the DMXStreamer off, then switch it on again,
to give the devices an opportunity to re-establish the
link.
Restore Show
The Restore function allows backed up Shows to be loaded
into any of the Show slots [A-Z] on the DMXStreamer.
To restore a Show to a slot, double-click on the slot letter and
a list of available Show files is displayed. The default location
for Show files is the folder containing the Streamer Utilities
program, but it can be any valid folder, including a network
file server or a removable storage device, such as a flash
memory device or a portable media player.
