DL.2 User Manual 25
Menu Screen Descriptions
Menu screens are presented on the display as a tabs. Sub-levels for a specific menu appear as
that tab as is selected.
DMX Tab
The DMX screen lets you configure the fixture
for the DMX link, view the DMX settings for the
fixture on each channel of its range, and view
all 512 channel values on the DMX link.
DMX_Control Screen
Use the Control Tab to configure your fixture.
You can choose from three DMX Protocol
types:
• Standard protocol requires 170 channels
and enables all DL.2 parameters for direct
DMX control.
• Dual protocol reduces the fixture footprint
to 132 channels by implementing only two
graphic objects.
• Single protocol simplifies DL.2 control to a
single graphic object and uses 94 channels.
DMX Source defines the source of DMX data
and has two options:
• DMX512—Data is transmitted over
standard DMX cables.
• Art-Net—Data is transmitted over Ethernet cables using the Art-Net protocol. Set the number
of DMX Universes (and DL.2 Ethernet Subnetworks containing this fixture from 0–16).
Scroll through the numbers 1-512 in the Start Channel field to set a valid start channel for the
protocol you have chosen:
• Standard protocol = 1–343
• Dual Protocol = 1–381
• Single Protocol = 1–419
For more on choosing valid DL.2 start channels, see Determining a DMX Start Channel on page 35.
You can assign each fixture a unique Fixture ID number from 1-255. This allows the fixture to
be identified on the DL.2 ethernet fixture link for tasks like synchronizing playback between
DL.2 fixtures and uploading custom content with the Content Management Application (CMA).
You can manually set this number in the menu or through the CMA, see Fixture Identification on
page 128. For more on DL.2 Ethernet fixture links, see Setting up an Ethernet Fixture Link on
page 11.
