OVERVIEW
The GenVI dimmer uses a touch screen with menus on the screen that provide the functions
to configure and operate the dimmer.
3.2
HELP SCREENS
Several menus have Help screens available. Press the
?
button (when available) to see the
help screen. Press anywhere within the help screen to cancel.
3.3
HOME PAGES
There are two “home” pages that can be selected. Pressing
View Mode
changes the display
between the “DMX Address” home page and the “Dimmer Output” home page. Both home
pages provide access to the “Riggers Control” and “Config” menus.
3.3.1
DMX Address Home Page
The “DMX Address” home page has two formats:
If a 1 to 1 patch is implemented (via the “DMX Address” button) it shows the DMX
addresses of the first and last channels of the dimmer (in a large and small font
respectively).
“DMX Address” Home Page with 1 to 1 Patch
If channels are individually patched it shows the word “Patched” and the DMX
addresses of all channels in the dimmer.
“DMX Address” Home Page with channels individually patched
Individual channel patching is performed in the DMX menu. See section 3.8.1
Both displays also show a colour coded mini bar-graph of the dimmer output at the top of the
screen. See the “Dimmer Output” home page below for the colour code of the bar graph.
3.3.1.1
DMX Address
Patches are often performed in contiguous blocks of addresses. The “DMX Address”
button
provides a rapid method of patching all of the dimmers in one GenVI rack to sequential DMX
slots, starting from a DMX address that you enter. This is commonly known as a 1 to 1 patch.
To perform a 1 to 1 patch, select the “DMX Address” home page (above) then press
