Setup

Setting up the System

1. Place the Stage Designer 50™ on a level surface. Note! The Stage Designer 50™can also be rack
mounted, occupying six rack spaces (6U).
2. Plug the AC to DC power supply into the system back panel and into the mains outlet.
3. Plug in your DMX cable(s) to your intelligent lighting as described in the respective fixture's manual. For a
quick overview of DMX see the "DMX Primer" on page 19.
4. Reset the system using the instructions on page 11 under ERASE ALL SCENES.

Physical Fader Assignment (optional setup)

Use this feature to combine or unify fixture control attributes for different fixtures. For example; if you were
controlling 4 moving mirrors and 4 moving yokes, the color, gobo and dimmer channels may not line up ideally
on the physical faders. Use this function to re-assign the dimmer, color and gobo channels to faders 1, 2 and 3.
From now on you will be able to control the same attributes on all fixtures using the same fader location. This is
also most useful when needing to combine all colors together.
