Setting DMX Addresses
See Figure 10. To set DMX addresses using the M-PC application, open the
RDM View
window and click on
Scan
to display a list of the elements in the installation. Click in the
Address
box for each VC-Grid module
and enter the desired DMX address, then press the
Enter
key to store the DMX address for that module.
Remember that modules with identical addresses will receive the same instructions.
When working with more than one DMX universe, click in the
Universe
box for each VC-Grid module, enter
the desired DMX universe number, then press the
Enter
key to store the DMX universe for that module.
Setting modules to grouped or pixel control modes
In pixel mode, the 64 LEDs on a module are controlled individually. In module mode, All the LEDs on one
module are controlled as one group.
To set a VC-Grid module to pixel or module mode, calibrated or raw, using M-PC, open the
RDM View
window and click on
Scan
to display a list of the elements in the installation. Select the module in the list,
then click on the
Properties...
button at the bottom of the screen to open the Properties window for that
module. Select from:
• Pixel mode (calibrated)
• Module mode (calibrated)
• Pixel mode (raw)
• Module mode (raw)
Calibrated and raw modes
See the section on setting control modes above.
In
calibrated
mode, color and intensity levels are evenly matched in different LEDs and different modules but
maximum output is slightly reduced.
In
raw
mode, LEDs give maximum possible output but color and intensity levels may be slightly uneven in
different LEDs and different modules.
