Setting number of Dimmers
Rearranging memory by changing the number of channels, groups, etc.
may have an adverse effect (total loss) of items stored within that
memory. Backup your entire console BEFORE making configuration
changes.
The console provides 3 DMX output ports (A, B, or C) for addressing
dimmers or devices. Each port is capable of up to 512 DMX addresses for a
total of 1,536 addressable DMX channels. You are given the ability to
restrict the number of DMX address so that console performance can be
improved. The minimum number for each port is 48, the maximum is 512.
The factory default for each port is 144. Performing a “hard clear” will also
set the console to its default values. See
Chapter 11 Memory Functions
for
more information on clearing the console.
If you want to change the dimmer count, you need to take into
consideration how many physical dimmers are actually in your system and
whether you are patching automated devices.
If an automated device is to be patched to a port, make allowance for all
the channels in the device’s definition. For instance, a Studio Color 575
needs 16 channels to control all its traits, so 16 DMX 512 outputs are
required. See
Chapter 10 Automated Devices
for more information on
assigning automated devices.
Follow the example below to set the dimmer count to 512 on Port A:
Procedure: Notes :
1. Press [SETUP] Opens the Setup display
2. Press [3] [ENTER] Selects menu item
3: “Port A”
3. Press [512] [ENTER] Valid numbers are
48 - 512
