To set up a Control function:
1. Use the Add Control button to create a new Control .
2. Select the DMX channel you want to use to control parameters in the display. This channel will give you
8-bit control.
3. If you want to use 16-bit fine control, check the 16-bit Control checkbox and specify which High DMX
Channel you want to use for fine control.
4. Enter minimum and maximum values under Range if you want to define the range of DMX values that will
be used to control the variable. Values from 0 to 255 can be defined for 8-bit control and from 0 to 65535
for 16-bit control.
Setting up Variables
The Variables you can control via DMX using a Control in the P3-100 interface appear on the right of the
Remote Control window. You can create new Variables using the Add Variable button to the right of the
Add Control button, and you can edit the names of your Variables . You can delete a Variable by clicking on
its button, and you can expand and collapse the setup details of each Variable using its button.
Pre-programmed Variables
The first two Variables are pre-programmed and cannot be deleted. They should both be set up as non-fade
(snap) controls on the DMX controller.
• The first Variable allows you to Freeze the video image, Blackout the entire installation and display Test
patterns on the entire installation. Selecting Live Input lets you return from any of these three modes to
normal video playback.
• The second Variable , Capture Properties , calls up any configuration presets saved under Presets at the
bottom of the Video Setup window.
To assign a Control to one of the two pre-programmed Variables , select it from the drop-down list for that
Variable . The DMX channel (or channels in 16-bit mode) and other settings are now linked to that variable.
Custom Variables
You can create two types of custom variable:
Picture Variables (see arrow in Figure 23) let you use DMX commands to control the overall intensity and/or
individual color intensities of one or more panels.
Position Variables let you use DMX commands to control the x-y coordinates of panels in the video frame. In
other words they let you move the portion of the video image you display on panels from a DMX controller.
Setting up a Picture Variable
1. Use the Add Variable button at the top of the Remote Control window to create a new variable. If it is the
first custom variable you create it will have the name Variable 3 by default, but you can rename it in the
Name box.
