8.4 Blackout
You can configure the blackout as desired. It can be set which channel on which con‐
nected DMX device is overridden by the blackout mode, and with what value. This
makes it possible, for example, to only dim connected lights at the press of a button,
without changing the settings for colour, rotation or tilt.
To set up or change the blackout mode, proceed as follows:
1.
To enter ‘Program Mode’, keep [Program] pressed for three seconds.
2.
Use | [Up] or | [Down] to select bank 31.
ð
The display shows ‘Overlay’ .
Now you can configure the blackout mode like a normal scene.
3.
If you want to change an existing configuration of the blackout, proceed to
Step 4.
Otherwise a tip:
If the blackout mode shall override only a few channels (for example, only the
dimmer of some DMX devices), press [Release] . Thus, all channels are switched
to ‘OFF’. This means that they are not overridden by the blackout mode. In the
following you need then just turn on the channels that are to be overridden.
To reconfigure the blackout mode proceed to step 5.
4. Press [BLACKOUT] once to load an existing configuration.
5. Press the [Fixture] buttons assigned to those DMX devices whose blackout set‐
tings you want to edit.
6.
Activate or deactivate channels via the [Scene] buttons. The display shows
either ‘CHxx: ON’ (channel xx is overridden by blackout mode) or ‘CHxx: OFF’
(channel xx is not affected by blackout mode).
7.
Use the slider to set the desired values. For testing purposes, you can also use
channels that are set to ‘off’.
8. Repeat steps 3 to 7 for further DMX units, if necessary.
9. Once you have finished the blackout settings, press [Record] .
10. Press [BLACKOUT] .
ð
The LED flashes three times briefly.
This indicates that the blackout settings have been saved.
11. To return to ‘Play Mode’, keep [Program] pressed for three seconds.
Make sure that no channels with set fade times for cross-fades are over‐
ridden by the blackout mode. This ensures that all channels are restored
with the correct values when you cancel the blackout mode.
If a channel with a set fade time is overridden by the blackout mode, it is
only gradually restored to its previous value when cancelling the blackout.
