Chapter 11 Inputs and Outputs 205
DMX-512 Output Use a DMX-512 Output to control lighting and other devices which accept the
DMX-512 protocol. Specify the DMX channel number to use in the dialog box,
as shown to the left, and give the output a descriptive name.
You must also configure WATCHOUT to transmit DMX data on the Artnet
Universe number used by the device(s) to be controlled. This is done under the
Control tab in the Preferences dialog box (see “DMX-512 Universe” on page
123). All devices controlled by WATCHOUT must be in the same Artnet
universe.
If the devices being controlled don’t have an Ethernet connector accepting the
Artnet protocol, you need an Ethernet-to-DMX interface, as shown under
“DMX-512 Input” on page 201.
A DMX-512 Output is controlled using a Fade cue, created by dragging the
output onto a timeline, as seen on page 204. This cue contains a single tween
track, allowing you to control the DMX output.
◆ IMPORTANT: The DMX output is only controlled while the cue is active.
Jumping to positions on the timeline between Fade cues will not change the
output. To control an output over the entire duration of a timeline, the Fade
cue must have the same duration as the timeline.
◆ NOTE: If you have multiple cues controlling the same output at the same time
(for example on separate timelines), the highest value will be chosen.
