System configuration
Once your console is installed, you may need to reset some hardware
configuration settings. The Input/Output Configuration screen allows you
to reset the DMX512 starting numbers for your DMX512 ports, set your
ports for ETC Multiplex dimming, and adjust the DMX512 signal speed if
your dimming system requires a slower signal.
Setting DMX512 starting numbers
When you install your Insight 2x, the console sets the starting dimmer
number for DMX512 port 1 to 1, DMX512 port 2 to 513, and DMX512 port
3 to 1,025. If you prefer, you may set different starting numbers for the
DMX512 ports . For example, if your system included 15 racks, each with
96 dimmers, you could set the ports to start at 1, 481, and 961. This would
avoid having any rack receiving signals from two ports. If you do so, you
will need to specify this in the I/O Configuration screen.
To reset DMX512 port starting dimmer numbers, follow these steps:
1. Press [Setup] to display the Setup Menu.
2. Press [2], Input/Output Configuration, and press [Enter].
3. Press [↓] to select the port to configure (port 1, 2 or 3).
4. Press [S3], DMX512 Start.
5. Enter the desired starting number for the port.
6. Press [Enter] twice to confirm your choice .
7. Display indicates port starting number.
