LED indicators
The two LEDs on the right of the display indicate fixture status:
• The DMX LED lights when the fixture is receiving a valid DMX signal.
• The SERVICE LED lights if the fixture requires a service intervention. At the same time, a message
appears in the display indicating the type of service required.
The SERVICE LED blinks when the fixture is in factory service mode.

Pixel grouping
In all four DMX control modes, the LEDs in the MAC 401 Dual™ can be controlled collectively as one single
group or split into two or four segments that can be controlled collectively as though they were individual
pixels.
The following options are available in the
DMX - PGRP submenu:
•
1 – LEDs are divided into four segments A to D, giving Individual control of four pixel groups
•
2V – LEDs are divided vertically into two segments A and B, giving individual control of two pixel groups
•
2H – LEDs are divided horizontally into two segments A and B, giving individual control of two pixel
groups
•
All – All LEDs are controlled together as one pixel (this is the default pixel grouping setting).
The
DMX - PINV submenu can be used to invert the pixel settings, from left to right and top to bottom.
