(2b) Professional Mode - Setup-and-Store - Global Settings via DMX
Since firmware 202002xx it is possible to set 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 via
DMX
.
To do so, there are two layers within the Professional DMX Mode. The second layer can be
activated and used with specific settings on channel 24 and channel 25.
Enter Setup Mode
To change the global settings, select value 134 or 135 of channel 24
and
value 94 or 95 of
channel 25. The second DMX layer (setup mode) is now active. Change the global values
with channels 4, 6, 8-12, 19-23, 26-29 as seen in the DMX chart below.
Save settings and store them to the mainboard
To save the global settings, select value 204 or 205 of channel 24
and
value 168 or 169 of
channel 25. The laser output will flash three times to confirm changings are saved.
Reset Settings
To reset the global settings, select value 211 or 212 of channel 24
and
value 94 or 95 of
channel 25.
IMPORTANT
: When switching to Setup, Save or Reset via channels 24 and 25, it is im-
portant to hold the specified values for 2 seconds until the laser output flashes once to
confirm the selection (Assigning buttons for accessing these features on the console can
be handy, these need to be pressed for at least 2 seconds to activate the mode then).
Cancel current settings
To abort and cancel current adjustments and return to the last settings, change either
channel 24 or channel 25 to a value other than Setup, Save or Reset and wait for 20 se-
conds. The laser output flashes to confirm the selection.
