3.2 Allocating the first addressed channel
In order to receive the commands necessary to operate from a lighting console, each fixture has to be allocated a
start address. This address normally indicates the first channel used (start channel) and can be allocated following
a different criterion from that used to connect the signal line. Giotto uses 33 controls channels, so during alloca-
tion, this quantity must be kept in mind to avoid possible overlapping of other fixtures' channels, which would
cause problems with the perfect control of all the available functions. Should it be necessary, it's possible to alloca-
te the same start channel to several fixtures, in this case the fixtures will all follow the same commands, but can't
be controlled separately. To address fixtures correctly, proceed as follows:
1. Connect Giotto Spot to the power supply, wait until it has completed reset operations and “DMX
signal” appears on the display.
2. Use the UP/DOWN keys to find the “Addr” menu
3. Press ENTER to confirm. The message on the display starts to flash.
4. Use the UP/DOWN keys to select the channel required.
5. Press ENTER to confirm.
3.3 Direction of Pan movement
This function allows to decide the direction in which the Giotto's moving head pans, indispensable when several
fixtures are installed in order that fixtures installed opposite each other move in the same direction when they
receive a command.
To modify Pan movement, proceed as follows:
1.
Connect the Giotto Spot to the power supply, wait till it has completed reset operations and “DMX
signal” appears on the display.
2.
Use the UP/DOWN keys to find the “Pmove” menu
3.
Press ENTER to confirm. The message on the display will start to flash.
4.
Use the UP/DOWN keys to select which of the two available options is required (see table pag.17).
5.
Press ENTER to confirm.
