Configuration Guide
General
The Configure mode can be used to change the console’s configurable functions such as
scene split, memory lock, softpatch and number of dimmers.
To activate the configuration mode, tap the Configuration button. The first configuration
mode, Scene Split, will be shown on the display. To change to another mode, use the Next
and Previous buttons. Tapping the Blackout or the Configuration button again will exit the
configuration mode and save all changes to non-volatile memory
Configuring
.
Scene Split A Scene Split is a method of dividing the Memory Scene buttons into two independent
sections, each with its own autofader. This allows the operator to reserve a set of Memory
Scene buttons for special lighting scenes which can be used independently.
To activate or change Scene Split, tap the Memory Scene button which will define the start
of the right side of the split or tap the Select button so that the current scene split assignment
is underlined. The Next and Previous buttons can then be used to increment and decrement
the split number.
Selecting Memory Scene 1 will define the right side split to start at Scene 1. Since this
removes the left side split entirely, the Scene Split function is effectively turned off and is
displayed as such on the LCD display.
Program Lock All program functions can be locked to prevent unauthorized modifications. The LCD display
will show the current state of the program lock. Tap the Select button so that the state (on
or off) is underlined. The Next and Previous buttons can then be used to toggle the lock
on or off.
Preheat This mode is used to change the Preheat level. This is commonly used to preheat or warm
the filaments of the lamps and is usually set to a level which gives a slight orange glow to
the lamp filaments. The result is a faster lamp response and possible longer lamp life.
Preheating is also useful in combating dimmer fuse and circuit breaker "nuisance tripping"
when using lamps with high inrush current.
Tap the Select button so that the Preheat level is underlined. The Next and Previous buttons
can then be used to increment or decrement the Preheat level. The value can be set from 0
to 50 which represents about 20% of the full 256 possible output levels.
Max Dimmers This mode is used to set the maximum number of dimmer channels output on the multiplex
signal line. The minimum setting is 16, and the maximum setting is 128. Tap the Select
button so that the maximum dimmer number is underlined. The Next and Previous buttons
can then be used to increment or decrement the dimmer number. Setting the maximum at
a number lower than required will cause some of the dimmers not to function, while setting
it higher than required will cause unnecessary extra work for the console which can affect
console response.
Output Mode The MC 6300 can simultaneously output both Micro-Plex and DMX 512 (optional). Both
can be output at the same time, however DMX 512 offers a much faster refresh rate than
Micro-Plex and will result in smoother dimming when a large number of dimmers are being
addressed. Therefore, the output mode can be changed so that only DMX 512 is output.
Tap the Select button so that the output mode is underlined. The Next and Previous buttons
can then be used to toggle the output mode.
Edit Patch The NSI MC 6300 console can actually control up to 128 dimmer channels through the use
of Softpatch. Each of the 16 control channels can be assigned to any number of dimmer
channels between 1 and 128. Any dimmer channels assigned to a particular control channel
will change intensity with the control channel. This is called softpatching.
