The LED control panel allows you to set user options and read fixture information. User settings may be changed
remotely via the serial link with the Martin MP-2 Uploader.
The DMX address and any status messages (see page 34) are displayed when the MAC 550 Profile is turned on. To
enter the menu, press [Menu]. Press [Up] and [Down] to move within the menu. To select a function or submenu, press
[Enter]. To escape a function or menu, press [Menu]. See Table 2 on page 30 for a complete list of the menu items.
Note: [Enter] must be pressed and held for a few seconds to enter the utilities menu.
The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the controller.
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control channels. Two MAC 550 Profiles may share the
same address, however, if identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic purposes and
symmetric control, particularly when combined with the inverse pan and tilt options.
Depending on the selected DMX mode, the MAC 550 Profile requires 21 or 27 DMX channels. The basic mode uses
21 channels and
provides coarse control of all effects plus fine control of gobo rotation, pan, and tilt. The extended mode
uses 27 channels and provides the basic mode features plus fine control of the dimmer, color wheels, iris, focus, and
zoom.
