Auto Power Enable and Hold Time
Many lighting fixtures such as LED’s and moving fixtures require a constant source of non-dimmed
power when they are operating. Normally you would manually switch on the power to these devices
prior to a show and manually switch them off at the conclusion. Auto Power is a feature that
automatically switches selected GEN·VI channels to ON whenever there is a DMX signal present on
the input to the GEN·VI and switches them OFF when the lighting controller is turned off and the
DMX signal is not present. A “Hold Time” can be set to prevent fixtures being turned off if there is a
short interruption to the DMX signal and also to allow for a cool down period for the fixtures.
In the following example, the 3 moving fixtures require non-dimmed power plus DMX for control.
They are connected to a GEN·
VI channel that is configured for “TruPower” and “Auto Power”. The 2
conventional fixtures are connected to GEN·VI
channels configured for either “S Curve” or “L Curve”
dimming outputs. When the lighting controller is switched on, the GEN·VI detects the DMX signal
and automatically switches on the power to the moving fixtures.
To enable “Auto Power”, from either home screen press
