  • Page 32: Stand-Alone Programming Overview

    The term stand-alone is used to mean that the Exterior 600 is not connected to a control device, but is pre- programmed with a series of up to 20 scenes that play continuously in a loop.

  • Page 33: About Scene Timing

    About scene timing Each scene has a dynamic part - the fade - during which effects move to the scene’s programmed positions, and a static part - the wait - where effects do not change. The duration of the fade and wait is programmed individually for each scene.

    Zoom The lens may be driven forwards or backwards to vary the size of the beam. The zoom function only has a noticeable effect in the following Exterior 600 models: • Exterior 600, 18-25° • Exterior 600, 22-38° The zoom function has little effect with models containing other beam angles.

  • Page 39: Frost

    The two buttons are used to set the frost effect on and off. The frost filter has little effect when used with the 65° or 100° Exterior 600 models. Scene fade The fade time, anything from 0 to 120 seconds, is the time time it takes to change from one color to another.
  • Page 40 When the program is run, scenes execute in a continuous, ascending loop. Note that, if a “slave” fixture has: • Fewer scenes than the master fixture, it will run these in a cycle continuously, until the master fixture signals that the program should start from the beginning again.

  • Page 46: Preparing A Fixture For Dmx Control

    There are a range of DMX specific settings that you need to set. These are described in this chapter. You can use a personal computer (via the MUM application), an MP-2 or a DAD to prepare your Exterior 600. We recommend using the MUM because it has a graphical user interface that is easy to use (see the following illustration).
  • Page 47 The Exterior 600 uses eight (mode 1) or nine (mode 2) channels of control data. When operating in mode 1, the fixture reads the data on the start channel and the next seven channels. If the control address is set to 100, the fixture uses channels 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, and 107.
  • Page 48 “tracks.” The Exterior 600 has a digital filter algorithm that averages several updates to ensure smooth movement. • Vector control provides a way to program fades on controllers without programmable fade times or cross-faders. With vector control, instead of breaking up the movement into many small positions, the controller sends one position value along with a speed value that is programmed on a separate channel.
