Scancommander 1. Introduction (Version 4.31) 1.1 General remarks MA Scancommander basic features The MA SCANCOMMANDER features perfect and easy control of most DMX 512 compatible moving lights and multifunctional fixtures. Up to 16 units can be controlled simultaneously. Main features of the MA SCANCOMMANDER: - Access to colours, gobos etc. via labelled buttons. - Programming of selective scenes with - for example - fixed positions but new colours.
1.2 Specifications and extras The basic MA SCANCOMMANDER is delivered as a 19" version with 1 desklamp. With this configuration it can perform all functions except labelling your scenes and presets in the display. There is a list of options available that will fit your needs. Trackball, Computermouse Makes it easy to control movements. All Atari compatible trackballs or mice can be used. Note: PC compatible mice cannot be used !! Keyboard Enables you to label your programs. Any PC-MF keyboard will work.
Scancommander 2. Setup 2.1 Top menu QUIT button (2x) Top Menu Starting point for all operations is the TOP MENU. To go back to the TOP MENU during any operation press Quit button 2 x. SETUP TIME: PRESET BACKUP REMOTE 14 : 50 : 17 DATE: RUNNING FADE +/- 00 % 01 / 16 / 97 V. 4.11 Display buttons The squares in the display show the current function of your 12 buttons around the display. The 3 encoders are dedicated to the 3 lower squares of the display.
2.2 Lamp type The MA SCANCOMMANDER is able to control various lamp types. All necessary adjustments are made by simply choosing a lamp type from the list. Selecting the Lamp Type Menu SETUP The button on top of the display label "SETUP" switches the board to the setup menu. LAMPTYPE The display shows in 10 sections names of manufactures. MORE turns the page for more manufactures. The list in the centre shows the 16 selected lamp types. For self-defined scans please choose "User Scan" (see chap. 11).
Scancommander 2.3 DMX output addresses All control signals from the Scancommander are on DMX 512 and are sent on a two conductor cable to stage. Therefore the single scans need to have a DMX start address to know, to which data they must respond.. Usually this address can be selected by a DIL switch directly on the lamp or at their DMX interface. On the SCANCOMMANDER these addresses have to be set for the individual scans. SETUP DMX The DMX Output Patch Menu shows three lists of 16 DMX addresses each.
2.4 Movement direction on DMX mode The movement of the beams can be controlled via two of the encoder wheels, an external tracker ball or computer mouse. To reach an ergonomic handling of the trackerball it is possible to do a course adjustment of the movement. SETUP DMX MOVEMENT CENTER PAN: 128 , TILT : 266 CHANGE PAN<>TILT INVERT PAN INVERT TILT 4 PAN TI LT SCAN Selection Selection of one single scan. CHANGE PAN<>TILT Exchanges the DMX signal of the pan and the tilt channel.
Scancommander 2.5 Initializing of stage Basic features of movement control Optionally movement and positions of the light beam are handled as X/Y coordinates on stage. The value 0/0 corresponds to the middle of the stage. Changing the X value relates to movement right or left, changing Y moves between front and backside of the stage.
Heading the first corner on the left backside of stage with the beam (To be sure to get the same corner points for all the scans, the corners should be marked on stage with white tape crosses.) As soon as the beam meets the corner point, SET - button stores the position in a temporary data register. The mark " " shows, that this corner was already adjusted.
Scancommander 3. Direct access Actual Scan Selection There is constant direct access to the single functions of the scans. Any function can be controlled for a number of scans simultaneously. The LED´s in the Scan Selection block determine, which of the 16 scans will be affected. The "CLEAR" button beside the "SCAN SELECTION" block clears the selection, the "INVERT" button inverts the actual selection. "CLEAR"-"INVERT" selects all 16 Scans.
3.2 Basic scan functions 3.2.1 Tuning with the encoder All functions of a registered lamp can be selected and controlled directly. To see any effect on stage, every lamp has to be part of at least one of the groups and its brightness master has to be up. Controlling functions via encoder For any selected function the DIRECT ACCESS Menu shows the actual data in a list at the centre of the display. (Right the COLOR display) FEATURE button Selection of any function is by their button in the FEATURE block.
Scancommander 3.2.2 Programming of presets PRESETS Using the Encoder Wheels, all functions are controlled in 256 steps. But for most of the functions there are special values, which are used all the time, like the single colours on the color channel. These values can be stored together with a label as PRESETS and can be recalled by the push of a button later on. On direct access the 12 display sections will show these names.
3.2.3 Playback of presets Playback PRESETS (X-Fader in the Feature block zero) Feature Button Selects a function for direct access. Display buttons In direct access mode preprogrammed PRESETS can be recalled by their button. Similar to the control via encoder, only the scans which are actually selected, will change to the new value. Display list: If the actual value of a scan was selected by recalling a preset, the list will no longer show the channel value, but will show the preset name.
Scancommander SAMPLE function SAMPLE display The SAMPLE function enables the recall of up to nine presets even for different features simultaneously. The SAMPLE preset commands can be created in advance and are listed in the display, as soon as the SAMPLE button is pressed. SAMPLE - keep button pressed As long as the sample button is pressed, the SCANCOMMANDER works in the SAMPLE mode. - the display shows a insert window with up to nine preset recalls.
3.3 Movements PAN/TILT via encoder and Presets PAN/TILT coordinates Controlling the movement works basically like controlling any other function. Positions, which are stored as presets, can be recalled by their buttons. The scan selection block shows, which of the 16 scans will go to the new position. When a preset is recalled with a x-fade time greater than zero, the beams will change slowly and with a linear travel from their actual position to the new one.
Scancommander Special regulations on stage oriented movement ! Attention ! ! Attention ! - During stage oriented movement mode the value in the display reaches from -99 to +99. The centre of the stage corresponds to 0/0, the corners have values of +/-25. Values outside +/- 25 mean, that the beam is actually outside the stage. - When a preset is recalled with a x-fade time greater than zero, the beams will change slowly and with a linear travel from their actual position to the new one.
3.3.3 Transforming memories to a new stage Transforming stage mode data: Transforming programs to a new stage setup All movement positions which are stored as presets, memories or scenes, are automatically adapted to a new stage setup, as soon as the movement initialization is done. Therefore it is important to have the first movement initialization done before any program is stored. If the programs had been done on the basic of an exact initialization, no further adjustments are necessary.
Scancommander Slow/Fast On/Off Slow/Fast On/Off 3.3.4 Trackball and Mouse An Atari compatible mouse or trackball makes control of movement very comfortable. In standard operation mode, no follow spot fixed (see 3.3.3), the mouse will always control the actual selected scans simultaneously. Unlike the control via encoder, the mouse even works when Pan/Tilt is not selected in direct access mode.
3.3.6 Circle mode Circle movement as a Feature The feature EXTRA - CIRCLE offers direct control of circle movements. The actual Pan/Tilt position will be the centre point of the circle movement, radius and speed can be controlled by encoder. By moving the Pan/Tilt position, the circle will move simultaneously. Circle parameters can be stored as presets like any other feature and can also be stored within memories, chasers or sequence steps. (>>Programming selective memories).
Scancommander 3.3.7 Movement speed Handling within the Scancommander Slow movements are one of the major applications of moving lights. The MA SCANCOMMANDER controls fades by updating the position about 40 times a second. The intern resolution of the SCANCOMMANDER is 1600 steps for Pan and 1600 steps for Tilt. Using one or two channels per direction, the Pan/Tilt informations can be sent with 8 to 16 bit accuracy.
4. Memories Any picture on stage can be stored as a memory and recalled by touching a button. If the actual position is created by recalling a preset, any modification of this preset will cause the memory to recall the modified values. Therefore it is no longer necessary to adjust every single scene when adapting programs to a new stage setup. 4.1 Programming of basic memories STORE button The display shows a matrix with 16 columns for the scans and 12 rows for the features.
Scancommander Trigpoint and x-fade Features may be selected for slow infade (indicated by the small ramp) or for fast switching to the new value (trig). A trigpoint will set, whether the switching will be done at the beginning, the middle or the end of the fade. Example: A scan may move slowly from its old position to the middle of the stage, the color is set to change quickly at 50%, means middle of the travel. Encoder 1 Selects a feature marked by an arrow.
4.2 Playback memories Standard Memories Memories can be recalled by their respective buttons any time. All channels, which had been selected in the store matrix, will be set to a new value. Therefore standard memories with completely selected store matrix will recall one well defined picture on stage. The LED in the last recalled memory lites up. 4.2.
Scancommander 4.2.4 Freezing of single channels FREEZE button The FREEZE function fixes the actual value of single channels. These channels will no longer be affected by any playback. SCAN Selection Select a combination of scans FREEZE button in the FEATURE block keep button pressed ...(The display shows a matrix. The already frozen channels are displayed inverted.) and simultaneously press FEATURE button The LED inside the FREEZE button lights up.
4.2.5 Display of Memory Names List of memory names The names of the memories, set during programming or editing, can be listed in the display. LIST button at the playback section As long as the button is pressed, the display will show the names of the actual memory page. Upper 5 buttons 2. line 3. line 4. line .. ..
Scancommander 4.3 Selective memories Working mode of selective memories Memories and scenes may be programmed in a way, that they only affect selected channels. When this memory is recalled by its button, all other channels stay untouched. Example: a memory may be supposed to recall only a new color for scan numbers 1 to 6. The position of the beams, the gobos and all other functions stay unchanged, when this memory is recalled. Scan no.7 to 16 stay completely untouched. 4.3.
4.3.2 Playback of selective memories Recalling selective memories works the same way as recalling standard memories, but there are some advantages on programming selectively Free combination of a number of selective memories: A memory, setting the position of the scans can join together with pure color memories or pure gobo memories. The same color memory may be recalled during a running chase for movement. Operating in this way saves time when programming up and saves storage capacity.
Scancommander 4.4 Modifying of memories Modifying memories, basic structure A stored memory contains data for: - Name, x-fade time and trigpoint - Matrix with trig/fade marks for the features - Data for the single channels All these data can be modified without starting from the very beginning. 4.4.1 Changing names and parameters Changing memory parameters EDIT button the LED inside this EDIT button is on as long as the edit mode is active.
4.4.3 Copying memories By recalling EDIT Memory A - COPY MEMORY button on the display keep button pressed and simultaneously press ... Memory B Copies the memory including name, fadetime and trigpoint settings. Copy is possible between standard memories, but not possible between chases or sequences. 32 MA Lighting Technology GmbH .

Scancommander 5. Chaser The right column of memory buttons contain a second LED. With these buttons it is possible to program single stage scenes as memories or complete chaser programs. Chaser programs are just a list of scenes which change with preselected step time. 5.1 Programming of chasers Programming chaser steps works like programming a memory.
5.1.2 Programming chaser parameters CHASER SPEED STEP FADE STEP TRIG SPEED - sets the time between the different steps STEP FADE- sets the x-fade time between the single steps STEP TRIG - sets the trigpoint between the single steps As the STORE MATRIX may be different from step to step, the listed parameters are global for the complete chaser program. Encoder 2 Speed in Hertz (steps / sec.) and in seconds. STEP FADE or STEP TRIG Inverts the respective block in the display.
Scancommander 5.2 Playback chasers Start a chaser Chaser programs are recalled by their respective buttons like any other memory. Each step will control output channels according to its STORE MATRIX. Selective programmed steps keep deselected channels untouched. Termination of a chaser A second push on a chaser button will not stop the chase but will make it start again with step number one. On the MA SCANCOMMANDER always the latest pushed button has the highest priority.
5.3 Modifying a chaser program A stored chaser program contains data for: - Name, SPEED, STEP FADE time and STEP TRIG Point - a STORE MATRIX per step - a set of single channel values per step 5.3.1 Changing names and parameters EDIT button Chaser button SINGLE MODIFY 1 2 EDIT ...... 3 On Line changing of the chaser parameters CHASE CHASE: A 25 LINK FADE STEPS: FREE: 2 STEP FADE 1.00 sec STEP TRIG 0% SPEED (94770) 0.500 HZ 2.000 Sec Encoder 2 Changing the SPEED of the chase on line.

6. Sequences Difference between chaser and sequence programs Like a chaser a sequence contains a list of pictures stored as steps. The additional features of the sequence give the chance to prepare complete light shows and to recall them by the push of a button. Individual step parameters - Unlike the chaser steps, every step of a sequence may have its individual parameters. The time, until the next step starts (STEP TIME), the x-fade time and the trigpoint may be different from step to step.

All other functions work exactly the same way they do on chaser programming. Deleting the old program DELETE ALL Clears all steps of the sequence. Stop with the last step SINGLE Inverted: Normal: Selecting one step The sequence will stop automatically when reach ing the last step The sequence will return to step one and will go on running. Encoder 1 Selecting a step number.
Scancommander 6.2 Playback of sequences Starting a sequence A sequence is started by its respective button like any other memory. By any memory or chaser, recalled by its respective button after the start of the sequence, the sequence may loose its priority. If the memory was a selective one, some of the channels may still be available for the sequence, if it was a standard memory with fully selected STORE MATRIX, the following steps of the sequence will no longer have any effect on stage.
6.2.2 Playback of a sequence with adjusted step rate Sequence playback with adjusting rate via fader RATE Fader Sets the sequence speed between 0.1 and 10 seconds per step. The yellow LED inside the SET RATE button shows the selected speed. "SET RATE" Step Mode selected (red LED on) SEQUENCE button 1-16 The first step will be recalled as soon as the sequence button is pushed. All other steps will follow automatically with the adjusted time. 6.2.

If one of the green LED´s is on, the sequence waits for a trigger signal. By the GO button the next step can be recalled any time.
6.2.7 Sequence playback menu Sequence playback menu The MENU button at the sequence section swaps the display to list informations about the running sequence program. MENU button recalls the menu with number and name of the running program at the top line. The total number of steps is shown in brackets. SEQ. 1 NAME STEP TIME FADE TRIG (17) 02 2.0 5.075 Sec 0.0 00% 03 2.1 0.075 Sec 15 00% 04 3.0 12.00 Sec 1.5 50% 05 3.1 0.00 Sec 0.
Scancommander 6.3 Modifying a sequence All data of a sequence are data of single steps. They can be changed as soon as these steps are selected. Global changes of speed or fade time, as it is possible on the chaser programs, can be done by overwriting the stored values via SET RATE and SET FADE. 6.3.1 Changing sequence step times Changing step parameters EDIT button Sequence button 1-16 SINGLE MODIFY 1.0 2.0 2.1 2.2 3.0 ......

Scancommander 7.6 The Scancommander Extension Unit The SCANCOMMANDER EXTENSION is a 19" unit with - display with 12 display buttons and one encoder - 16 scanselection buttons, - cue card slot - keyswitch - all input and output connectors of a Scancommander MASTER-SLAVE mode Using the Extension as slave it will be switched to slave mode like a Scancommander. As noted in 7.4 only the display and the single scan selection buttons will work.
8. Dimmer and color changers Dimmer and color changer In addition to the channels for the 16 scanners, the MA SCANCOMMANDER offers additional 96 channels to control dimmers, color changers or any other DMX receiver. Like the features of the scans, these channels can be selected via EXTRA 1 and EXTRA 2 and can be controlled via encoder or presets. To include these EXTRA channels in any memory, chaser or sequence step, they have to be selected in the STORE MATRIX when storing any scene. 8.
Scancommander 8.3 EXTRA groups and brightness master EXTRA 1 and EXTRA 2 groups EXTRA 1 and EXTRA 2 have their own groups. STORE Keep button pressed and select one of the EXTRA and simultaneously GROUP buttons A - H Stores a group for the EXTRA selection. During EXTRA 1 or EXTRA 2 in DIRECT ACCESS the group buttons recall the EXTRA groups instead of the scan groups. When controlling color changer on EXTRA channels, this groups can be set to be not under the control of the master faders.
8.5 EXTRA channels in memories EXTRA 1 and 2 as part of playback programs EXTRA 1 and EXTRA 2 channels like any other scan feature can be selected in the STORE MATRIX. By using selective programming, it is possible to program memories or steps, which control only the EXTRA channels, whereas other memories may control only the scans and keep the dimmers and color changers untouched.
Scancommander 9. Utilities 9.1 Display index Active special functions are listed in the Top Menu.

9.2 Storage of programs Intern storage capacity of the SCANCOMMANDER The SCANCOMMANDER stores all programs internally. The number of scenes, which fit the storage capacity, depend on the size of the single scenes. - Memories controlling scans with 4 to 6 channels will need less space than scans with 12 or more channels. - Selective memories or steps only keep the data for the selected channels. This way they also save space.

Keep all four buttons on top of the display pressed down when switching on the Desk. The Scancommander swaps to the CLEAR menu. Section by section the programs can be deleted. Every clear has to be reconfirmed by "OK" or the process can be stopped by "CANCEL".
Scancommander 9.5 Macros The five macro buttons A to E right beside the cue card slot offer the possibility to sample different key strokes to one single button. 9.5.1 Programming macros Start of programming a Macro STORE MACRO A The display returns to the Top Menu, but a small display "RECORDING MACRO X" marks that all following functions are recorded.
9.5.2 Macro user examples Simplify the chase programming: - STORE - CHASER x - STORE must be stored as a macro. Playback of a few memories (with delay): The Scancommander can store up to 50 button instructions. If a macro recalls - 20 x Memory A/1, - 10 x A/2 and then - A/3 , so will be first done A/1, after 0.4 second delay A/2 and after 0.2 second A/3 . Longer delays can be realized by programming chases or sequences.
Scancommander 10. Inputs and outputs Mains (Power Supply) The Scancommander can be connected to an AC Powersource between 90 and 240 Volt AC (40-60Hz). The powerswitch is located on the front panel at the top right hand side. DMX 512 output The DMX output conforms to USITT DMX 1990. Every unit using this protocol can be successfully interfaced with the Scancommander. The DMX Output is optically isolated and exceeds the RS485 Norm.

Scancommander 11. Defining your own Scans Starting with software version 4.31 the Scancommander now offers the possibility to define your own lamptypes. These lamptypes can be then used like any other default lamptype in the LAMPTYPE SETUP. This new feature enables the adaptation of the software to new scantypes which are not listed in the factory setup or lamptypes which has changed their channel order. All characteristics (e.g.
Explanation of the different parameters NAME SHORT NAME : : `MY_SCAN1 1 XYZ 199 ´ `MS1 ´ The name of the lamptype (19 characters) and the shortname (6 characters) can be entered by the keyboard Mirror or headlamp SCANTYPE : MIRROR Selection of MIRROR or HEAD (e.g. Vary* lites). This function is only valid for the stage movements. Channel order CHANNELS : EDIT 17 leads to the menu for the channel order: CH. 1 CH. 2 CH. 3 CH. 4 CH. 5 CH. 6 CH. 7 CH. 8 CH. 9 CH.10 CH.11 CH.
Scancommander CLEAR Deletes all settings starting with the selected channel for this user type. RETURN Leads back to the MAKE LAMPTYPE menu. Assignment of the brightness master BRIGHTNESS : DIMMER NORMAL The brightness of different groups can be controlled via the Scancommander´s brightness master. The channels that are affected by the brightness masters, are programmed in the BRIGHTNESS and BLACKOUT menu.
