Operator Manual V1.1
1 M e e t t h e R e d b a c k
The Redback is a compact, simple-to-operate
small-system dimmer, with a range of
sophisticated, big-system capabilities. It can be
controlled by any DMX512 controller, or
optionally, any standard MIDI sequencing device.
It can be operated locally from the front panel to
output a preset scene or run one of the built-in
chase patterns.
All control functions are combined on a basic
highest takes precedence basis
.
Redback can be powered from either a three
phase or single phase supply.
Advanced capabilities include individual channel
settings for fade curve, maximum and minimum
output levels and MIDI and DMX control patching.
All configuration options and front panel
operations can also be controlled using the RDM
(Remote Device Management) protocol.
