Mapping of the Playback Trigger Universe channels to Show number is as follows:

• Show 1 = Channel 2

• Show 2 = Channel 3

• ………… [Show 4 thru Show 254]

• Show 255 = Channel 256

• Show 0 (script run) = Channel 1

Channel levels are split into 3 ranges to allow various options for playing back a show. Stop, Continue, Start.

• 0-33% Stop show

• 34-66% Continue show

• 67-100% Start show

This mapping allows a slider to be used to active a show (67-100%) then whilst it runs move to Continue (34-66%) so it runs to

the end and finally upon completion it can be moved to the Stop position (0-33%). Optionally the same show can be looped by

simply leaving the channel in Start show range (67-100%). At any time, a show may be stopped with the channel in Stop (0-33%).

The lowest Channel takes precedence thus setting Channel 2 & 3 to 100% will run Show 1 but if Channel 2 is stopped (level 0%)

then Show 2 will run since it was the next highest channel with a Start level.

PLAYBACK EXTERNAL TRIGGER

Simple contact closure external triggering is supported on DMXking interface units which have an RJ11 accessory socket. Not all

devices have this feature which is being progressively rolled out over most of the product range. We recommend using the

DMXking external trigger module for easy screw terminal connections.

Input mapping:

• I/O Port 1 = Show 1

• I/O Port 2 = Show 2

• I/O Port 3 = Show 3

• I/O Port 4 = Script Run

To trigger and input connect the I/O Port to GND (pin 6). Lowest I/O Port takes priority. Not sure which pin is Pin 1? Use a

multimeter to check for a positive voltage between 1 and 6.
