1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION PX126 Mirage RedLine II is a versatile DMX controller for scanners, stage lighting or advertising lighting installations control. With PX126 the user can control any device compatible with the DMX-512 standard, as the dimmers, smoke generators, colours' changers, central effects or scanners and heads, for which the controller is mainly intended.
3. CONTROLLER AND EFFECTS CONNECTING The Mirage controller sends out the signals compatible with the DMX-512 standard. The proper operation of the whole set requires the correct setting of the DMX addresses in the controlled devices and the correct connection between the devices, made with the signal cable. Below are a few practical tips: 1.
4. FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION BLACKOUT TILT IRIS STATIC GOBO ROTATING GOBO GOBO ROTATION STROBE ZOOM FIXED PRISM SPECIAL FUN.1 FROST FOCUS PRISM ROTATION DIMMER COLOR WHEEL FILTER Set of 16 keys for controlled device selection. The key activity status is indicated by an DEVICE SELECTION appropriate LED.
5. SCENES PROGRAMMING The controller programming lies in creating the scenes (1022 maximum), that are saved as the programs' steps. A single scene has a full set of the control data for all 16 devices. The created scenes can be modified freely, but you must remember, that saving the modified scene deletes the previous one.
5.2. SCENE EDITION 1. With the left pair of the "+" and "-" keys set the number of program you want to edit. 2. Press the "LOAD PROGRAM" key. 3. If any LEDs in the TRIGGERING block are lit, turn them off by pressing the corresponding keys. 4.
3. Press the "SAVE" and "END" keys by turns. Both corresponding LEDs will light up. 4. Press the "SAVE" key again - the LED in "SAVE" key will go out. Now, press the "LOAD PROGRAM" key - LED in the "END" key will also go out and the first scene of the program will be launched.
6. Press the "SAVE" key again - all the synchronization parameters for this program have been saved. AUTO MUSIC SPEED SAVE SAVE LOAD PROGRAM MIDI 6.4. SPECIAL KEYS PROGRAMMING Regardless of rendered programs each of EFFECTS special keys can launch any scene, saved in the controller's memory.
By pressing one of the EFFECTS keys during programs rendering you can cause (apart from launching the scene, ascribed to this key) an automatic dimming of all the other devices (BLACKOUT) until this key is released. To turn this feature on: 1.
6.7. MIDI ASSIGNMENTS PROGRAMMING In this mode, you can launch a scene ascribed to a key of the MIDI instrument, by simply pressing that key. Each instrument key can have a scene ascribed. The Mirage controller interprets the MIDI signals according to the standard. You must pay attention to the fact, that some of the MIDI instruments carry the MIDI communication out according to the protocol modified by the producer.
~ 5 s. MIDI MIDI MIDI 7. PROGRAMS RENDERING Rendering the programs, saved in the controller's memory, is a basic operation mode of the device. The programs rendering maintenance has been significantly simplified. It is confined to program number selection or collection launching. ATTENTION: Directly after switching the controller on, the software version number is displayed for a few seconds, after that the controller is automatically set in the stand-by mode with the "BLACKOUT"...
8. COLLECTIONS (CUEs) RENDERING 1. Turn “BLACKOUT” off. MIDI 2. Press the CUE key in the PROGRAMING block. 3. Press one of the keys from CUE SELECTION block. The collection ascribed will be launched. 9. SPECIAL KEYS During programs rendering you can press one of special keys (EFFECTS) in any moment, to activate, for instance, the strobo or smoke generator.
4. updating the FirmWare applications, that control the PX126 operation. Communication with the PC requires appropriate software installation, you can download the application from producer's website: www.pxm.pl. 1. Connect the Mirage RL controller to the PC with the RS-232 cable (Mirage RL controller has to be switched off!).

Reaction to slider movement selection Change of reaction to slider movement requires the appropriate FirmWare installation: - "10%" reaction - all FirmWare versions ended with an odd number - "interception" reaction - All FirmWare versions ended with an even number For instance: P1.07 FirmWare version - the sliders react when moved for at least 10% P1.08 FirmWare version - the sliders react when the saved control level is exceeded...
ATTENTION: If such a communicate is displayed during application opening: check if: - the activation order has been kept: first the controller, after that the application - both RS-232 cable plugs are properly nested in the sockets - the COM port is active (BIOS settings) - COM port settings in the PC computer are properly defined 14.
