5 Sensor+ CEM+ Configuration Manual
CEM+ Playback Priorities
The CEM+ uses the same
priority structure as all of the
ETC products that use
ETCNet2 and adds two more
internally.
Any incoming EDMX is re-
prioritized internally on the
CEM+ as set on the patch
page. The priorities of the
EDMX sources (Emphasis,
Obsession II, Unison,
ETCNet2 DMX Node) are
used to determine what level
information makes it to the
CEM+. That level information
is then flatly re-prioritized to
the level specified on the
patch page.
That means that if (for the
same set of EDMX addresses) you set your Emphasis to an EDMX priority of two (2), an
Obsession II to a priority of nine (9) and an input port of a DMX Node to a priority of two (2),
the level information will pile-on/HTP for the DMX Node and Emphasis and ignore the
Obsession II’s levels. Internally to a CEM+ that EDMX level information will be prioritized
and used at the EDMX priority setting on the patch page (defaults to a priority of 10). The
EDMX priority is set on a rack-by-rack basis just like the DMX ports.
Once inside the CEM+, the new priority is used when determining what source level
information is used (EDMX, DMX Port A, DMX Port B, Presets, Set Levels and Panic).
EDMX, DMX Port A, DMX Port B, and Presets can all be set with their own priorities (1-20).
Set Levels and Panic have fixed priorities above the other priorities. See the inset above.
