B. GLOSSARY This glossary provides useful terms associated with operating the Best Boy Wash Luminaire.
Glossary of Terms 8-Bit DMX The universally accepted lighting control protocol in the entertainment industry. A console uses this protocol to control specific devices in a lighting system. A DMX512 channel packet is eight bits of absolute parameter data. 8-bit refers to the resolution of the signal: 256 step resolution, providing channel values from 0 through 255. A DMX512 data packet is a group of 512 data channels.
Douse To de-energize a luminaire lamp. (Douse is unrelated to intensity states.) Ethernet Networking technology used to connect local area networks (LANs) via CAT5 cable or wireless. Fixture Orientation Based on the direction the pigtail points as it exits the fixture. Flipped Focus When one or more fixtures inadvertently move differently from others in the system. Focus The point to which the light beam is directed.
Reply Digital data signals transmitted from each luminaire to the console. Only one luminaire may transmit at a time, in response to a request from the console. Signal Control protocol from a lighting console or interface. Splitter (Isolator) Device used to optically isolate and split a DMX512 signal. Note: A DMX "two-fer" cannot be used to divide a signal.
