To end the simulation, just click on the cross in the upper right corner of the window. If
you click on “Laser Off” (or you stop the show), the simulation window disappears,
but will automatically reappear on restart of the output.
2.5.2. Friendly Names
Each DAC interface can be named individually. The name can be set in the
hardware options (Options Hardware) with click on the button “Set Device
Name”. This “Friendly Name” is stored on the DAC, so it shows when connecting it to
a different computer too.
2.5.3. MIDI / DMX (Hardware and Driver)
The setup of the MIDI and DMX-hardware is done in the dialog OptionsMIDI/DMX
(Fig.6)
Fig. 5: Menu Options/MIDI/DMX: Selection of DMX-ports for input and output, selection
of MIDI-device and setup of printer.
Fig.6: Menu Options/MIDI/DMX: Selection of DMX-ports for input and output, selection of MIDI-
device and setup of printer.
Different output interfaces can be assigned for DMX input and DMX output. The
duration of the request-interval for the input can be adjusted (dependent on the
laser output).
2.5.4. DMX Settings
Laserworld Showeditor supports DMX input as well as DMX output. With DMX in it is
possible to remote-control most features of the software with a DMX controller (or a
DMX software). This is especially useful in Live-Mode, as real faders could be used for
controlling the effects, brightness and speed assigned to the patterns.
DMX out can be used for controlling DMX fixtures of any type, e.g. moving lights,
pyrotechnical effects or fog machines.
