The stage remote (riggers remote)
The DLC-C003 can be used with the optional DORTRON’s Stage Remote.
This is a small hand-held controller which connects to the console by a
25 pin serial cable. The cable can be connected either way round and
can be plugged and unplugged at any time. The remote is useful when
setting up a show as you can leave the console at the back of the
venue and use the Stage Remote to operate it from the stage.
•
To set up the stage remote, set the console to Program mode. On
the User Settings menu, set option 7 to “Remote Control” (hold
down YPL and press Softkey C to display the User Settings menu).
Plug in the remote. Press the blank white key on the bottom left
hand corner of the remote, the LEDs should flash. Press Exit, then
111. The LEDs should flash again to say the remote is enabled.
•
To set a DMX channel to a particular value, press DIM, type the
DMX channel number, press AT%, then 1-9 to set the level or AT%
again to set full. For example, DIM 1 5 AT% AT% sets channel 15 to
full.
•
You can access the 4 DMX lines using the following numbers:
Line A - Channels 1-512
Line B - Channels 513-1024
Line C - Channels 1025 - 1536
Line D - Channels 1537 - 2048
•
The NEXT and LAST buttons turn on the channel after or the channel
before the one you just entered, at the last level you entered. Other
channels are turned off.
•
You can use THRU to turn on a range of channels, for example 2 1
THRU 1 0 0 AT% 5 would turn on channels 21 to 100 at 50%.
•
You can use the AND button to make up a list of channels to turn on.
For example, 2 1 THRU 3 0 AND 4 1 THRU 5 0 AT% 5 would turn on
channels 21-30 and 41-50 at 50%.
•
Pressing INSTD sets all channels to 0.
•
Recall a memory/chase by pressing MEM, then the playback number,
then AT%. The playback number is the button number on the
console, +15 if it’s on page B, +30 for page C, +45 for page D, etc.
Memories/chases are always turned on at 100%.
•
For a chase you can use the + and - buttons to step forwards and
backwards. You can use this to focus lights if you program a chase
with one light on in each step.
•
To disable the remote, press EXIT then 0 0 0.
•
You can check if the remote is enabled or not by pressing the blank
button on the bottom left. If the LEDs flash once the remote is
disabled, if they flash twice it is enabled.
