RECORDING PRESETS
In order to set the individual dimmer levels recorded to a preset, the Preset 10 must be connected to a DMX512 source.
When less than 512 dimmer levels are received, a level of 0% will be stored for all channels above those received.
Note:
! For predictable results, avoid recording when the DMX512 levels are changing.
! Recording of presets must be done from the MASTER faceplate
1.
Using the primary DMX512 console, set a “look” to be recorded.
2.
Using a small blunt object (i.e. paper clip), depress the RECORD MODE recessed button located next to the RED
LED. The RED LED will begin to flash. If you decide after depressing the RECORD MODE button that you do not
wish to make an edit, depress the RECORD MODE button a second time. No changes will have been made.
3.
Depress the PRESET SELECT button adjacent to the preset number you wish to record. The adjacent GREEN LED
will illuminate as you depress the button. (Example: press the upper most left button to store preset 1)
4.
Upon releasing the PRESET SELECT button, the RED LED will no longer flash. This Indicates recording is complete.
Repeat steps 1 through 4 until you have recorded as many presets as required, up to ten total.
PRESET NUMBER 10 (OFF) - SPECIAL FUNCTION
When the levels stored in preset number 10(OFF) are all zeros a special function is enabled. W hen preset 10(OFF) is
selected and the crossfade has completed the Preset 10 will stop sending DMX512. By ending DMX512 transmission, many
moving lights and dimming systems will enter their standby mode. This feature can be disabled by recording any non-zero
level on any channel into preset number 10(OFF).
