3. idle drop to 0
d= drop to 0
k= keep last level indefinitely
Determines what happens when a DMX which was
transmitting data suddenly disappears. The cause for
this could be power failure (at the source, cable
interruption, etc.).
A drop to setting says that upon loss of signal, the
output will immediately stop outputting DMX.
A keep setting tells the NPC to keep the last level
received indefinitely until new instructions are received.
4. DMX Level Precedence
H= highest level takes precedence
L= last action takes precedence
Determines the plan of action when two patched DMX
Channel Levels are different yet patched to the same
output. If level precedence is set to highest, the
highest level will be the output level at all times. This
option is usually considered a straight merge. If level
precedence is set to last, the last action by any input
determines the output level. Last action precedence is
also referenced as "take control".
5. DMX/Luma-Net Merge Procedure
H= highest level takes precedence
L= last action takes precedence
Determines the precedence between all DMX levels
and the Luma-Net inputs.
For example:
Channel Options as set in the above figure 17 will have
the following result: DMX Output port 1 for all 512
channels will immediately drop to 0) upon loss of
signal. All patched DMX source channels and all
patched Luma-Net source channels will be merged in a
highest channel takes precedence mode.
DMX Output port 2, for all 512 channel, will keep levels
upon loss of signal. All patched DMX source channels
will be merged together in a highest takes precedence
mode, however, Luma-Net will be combined with the
