Show Configuration

Recording Control Channel
A single DMX channel can be used as an override control for the recording of a Show.
Any channel, in any of the Show's DMX streams, can be assigned as the Recording Control Channel
for that Show. As this includes channels that may lie outside the range of channels being recorded for
a stream, it is possible to use a channel for recording control that will not be recorded into the Show.
Recording begins only when a
Record
button has been pressed and the assigned control channel
reaches the set threshold value. Recording will continue until the level of the control channel falls
below the threshold value.
This function can not be activated until the DMX data streams have been allocated for the Show.
Enable Recording Control Channel
Selection of the
Enable
box activates recording control for the Show.
Stream
The stream containing the Control Channel is selected from the list of data streams defined for the

Value
The trigger threshold level [0 -255] is selected from the

The values used are DMX levels, not channel percentages. (1% is approximately 2.5 DMX steps).
Art-Net Control Channel
A single Art-Net DMX channel can be used to control the replay for a Show.
The values (levels) for the channel override the Play, Pause and Stop functions for that Show on a
Latest Takes Precedence basis.

Art-Net is Artistic Licence's DMX over Ethernet protocol. This protocol is used by products from
Artistic Licence, Enttec and nearly forty other members of the Art-Net Alliance throughout the world.
The Art-Net protocol can transport up to 256 universes or streams of DMX512 data over an Ethernet
network. These are divided into 16 Subnets [0 - F (hexadecimal)] each containing 16 Universes [0 - F
(hexadecimal)].
Enable Art-Net Control
Selection of the
Enable
box activates Art-Net control for the Show.
Subnet
The
Subnet
selected for the control channel [0 - F] should match the output configured on an Art-
Net device connected to the network.
Universe
The
Universe
selected for the control channel [0 - F] should match the output configured on an Art-
Net device connected to the network.
Channel
The control channel [1 - 512] in the designated universe is selected from the
