DMX files are stored on a removable flash
memory card. One 8 MB card is included.
Insert the memory card in the rear panel slot as
shown. To remove the card, press the eject button
next to the slot.
New memory cards must be formatted before
use. See "Formatting a memory card" on page
26.
The LightCorder does not work with all flash
memory cards. It will work with cards that you order from Martin, or cards from
Toshiba and Samsung. Cards in the following sizes can be used 4 MB, 8 MB, 16
MB, 32 MB, and 64 Mb.
How much can be stored on a memory card?
The total recording time on a memory card depends on three main factors:
• Size of the memory card - from 4 MB to 64 MB.
• Frequency at which recordings are made - from 10 Hz to 40 Hz. This
represents the frequency at which DMX signals will be recorded. High quality
frequencies such as 40 Hz require more memory, but may result in a better
result for some effects, such as movement. Conversely, shows that contain other
effects, such as simple color changes, might only require a lower sampling
frequency.
• Number of DMX channels that are recorded. This will depend on the type
and number of fixtures on the data link.
The following tables illustrate the capacities of the respective memory cards. Note
that these are only approximations. The durations are displayed in format
hours:minutes:seconds.
