(2a) Professional Mode - Setup-and-Store - Global Settings via Admin Tool
Since firmware 202002xx it is possible to adjust e.g. a projection zone, a safety zone, color
balancing, geometric corrections, etc. with the Admin Tool or directly via DMX and store
these settings to the ShowNET mainboard.
This procedure describes the adjustment of the global settings wih the
Admin Tool
.
To do so, enable the laser output first. Switch to the tab ‚Setup Mode‘ -> ‚Manual DMX
Control‘ and then click on ‚Enable Output‘. The laser output will flash every few seconds
to indicate that the test mode of the admin tool is active.
Select the tab ‚Setup Mode‘ -> ‚Setup Values‘ as shown in the picture below:
Adjust the settings (besides the laser output, the little window in the bottom right of
the ‚Setup Value‘ tab will display the changes, too) and then store them to the ShowNET
mainboard with a click on ‚Save‘. The laser output will flash three times to confirm that the
changes have been saved.
The settings will be saved until either the ‚dmxconf‘ data gets deleted from the SD Card,
the settings will be resetted with a click on ‚Reset‘ on the Setup Values tab, or new settings
will be saved with a click on ‚Save‘ on the ‚Setup Values‘ tab.
It is also possible to save, change and reset settings directly via DMX. See the next chapter
for details on how to do this.
As the settings via DMX are the same as the settings in the ‚Setup Values‘ tab, please refer
to the following DMX chart for detailled explanation of the specific global adjustments.
