PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Rerun Architectural is a lighting control station capable of storing up to ten 40-minute shows. Shows are recorded by capturing the output of a DMX512 console. The recorded show start and end points may be trimmed non-destructively. Each show can be set to hold the last look, loop to itself or link to another show. Shows are started by pressing one of the ten show buttons. A basic system consists of a Rerun Architectural station and a power supply.

RERUN ARCHITECTURAL FACEPLATE CONFIGURATION Each Rerun Architectural has six jumpers, JP1 through JP6, that select different modes of operation. The factory default is to have all jumpers installed. JP1 Record Lockout - When removed, the [RECORD] button is disabled. When installed, recording of presets is enabled. JP2 Hold Last Look - When removed, upon the loss of signal the last valid input is held on the output. When installed, upon the loss of signal the last active show is started.

THE ANATOMY OF A SHOW The Rerun Architectural has ten show memories each capable of recording 40 minutes of DMX512 data. Within each show memory are non-destructive trim points called the START POINT and the END POINT. The show memory is the data space used to store the show. Its time line always starts at the top of the show memory (The point at which the [SHOW] button was pressed to begin recording).
PLAYBACK OF SHOWS Recorded shows may not be played when there is incoming DMX512 unless the pile-on jumper (JP5) has been removed. When DMX512 from a console is present, the Rerun Architectural’s RED LED will be on and the only action possible is recording of a show. When the “pile-on” jumper is removed, incoming DMX512 data will be piled onto the currently running show in a highest-takes-precedence fashion. Playing a show Shows are played by pressing one of the [SHOW] buttons.
EDITING SHOW PARAMETERS A number of parameters can be edited in recorded shows and for system-wide functions. These include the start point, end point, looping/linking status, linked show number, cross fading, recording lockout, end of show output disable, and front panel lockout. Setting start and end points The [REWIND] and [FORWARD] buttons are used to set the start and end points. These buttons are only active while a show is paused.
EDITING SHOW PARAMETERS (CONTINUED) Looping By default, shows are looping. This means that when the show comes to its end, the show will automatically re-start itself from the START POINT and run in a continuous loop. When looping is disabled, the show stops at the END POINT and the Rerun Architectural will send the last levels of the show until another show is selected. The looping feature can be temporarily enabled or disabled as described in the show playback section.
EDITING SHOW PARAMETERS (CONTINUED) Cross fading Each show can have the cross fade function enabled or disabled. When enabled (the default state), the show will execute a two second fade from the current levels to the levels at the START POINT of the show when that show is selected. When cross fading is disabled for a show, the levels will jump immediately from the current levels to the levels at the START POINT of the show. To enable or disable cross fading, do the following: 1.
EDITING SHOW PARAMETERS (CONTINUED) Software record lockout In addition to the hardware jumper record lockout feature, the Rerun Architectural has a software record lockout feature. When the software record lockout is enabled, no shows can be recorded and no parameter data can be modified. The hardware record lockout jumper takes precedence over the software record lockout.
EDITING SHOW PARAMETERS (CONTINUED) Grand master A grand master feature is available as a factory option. This feature allows the user to alter the overall level output of the current show. The REWIND and FORWARD buttons are used to access this feature while the show is running. The REWIND button raises the grand master and the FORWARD button lowers it. Note: ! ! ! The grand master feature can only be enabled at the factory. It can not be enabled in the field.
