DMX512 numbers.
Setting DMX512 speed
If your console is controlling a dimming system that requires a slower
DMX512 signal, specify this in the I/O Configuration screen
Insight 2x is designed to run at the highest rate provided for in DMX512
specifications. Some dimming systems (including some Colortran ENR™
dimmers) may require a signal slower than the full DMX512 specification.
If this proves necessary, you may reset the console’s signal speed.
Speed choices are Slow, Medium, Fast, and Max. Insight 2x normally
runs at Max. If you have problems with outputs flashing, fades not run-
ning smoothly, or unselected dimmers rising spontaneously, experiment
with slower speeds until the symptoms disappear. If the symptoms per-
sist, please contact ETC Technical Services at 800/775-4382.
To reset Insight 2x’s DMX512 signal speed, follow these steps:
1. Press [Setup] to display the Setup Menu.
2. Select 2, Input/Output Configuration, and press [Enter].
3. Press [S4], DMX512 Speed.
4. Press [0] for Max, [1] for Fast, [2] for Medium, or [3] for Slow. The
speed you choose appears in the upper right corner of the display.
5. Press [Enter] to confirm your choice.
6. Display indicates new speed setting.
