The MotionOrb comes standard in a 2-meter length, but MotionOrb EXT can be
added to make the MotionOrb up to 4 meters long. Each orb string extension is 1
meter long. The Length setting configures the MotionOrb EXT for the number of
orb strings attached.
To configure the MotionOrb EXT length, do the following:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until Length shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>. A length option (2M, 3M, 4M) shows on the display.
3. Press <UP> or <DOWN> until the desired length shows on the display.
4. Press <ENTER>.
5. Press <MENU>. The desired length stops showing on the display.
The MotionOrb functions correctly only if the Length setting matches the
total length of orb strings installed. For example, if the MotionOrb is set to
4M, but the actual length is only 2 meters long, the effects macros will not
display properly and the pixel mapping will not work.
The Length settings options in the MotionOrb menu are as follows:
Options
2M For the standard MotionOrb with no orb string extensions,
2 m total length
3M
For the addition of 1 MotionOrb EXT package, 3 m total length
4M For the addition of 2 MotionOrb EXT packages, 4 m total length
There is a different pixel mapping DMX personality for each length of
MotionOrb, and those personalities are listed below.
Personality
2M mode - MotionOrb with a total of 11 orbs per string
DMX_165CH
(1 standard orb string and 1 bottom orb string; no extensions)
3M mode - MotionOrb with extensions for a total of 16 orbs per string
DMX_240CH
(1 standard orb string plus 1 orb string extension, and 1 bottom orb
string)
4M mode - MotionOrb with extensions for a total of 21 orbs per string
DMX_315CH
(1 standard orb string plus 2 orb string extensions, and 1 bottom orb
string)
Because MotionOrb EXT is not used with the DMX_165CH DMX personality,
this Pixel Mapping diagram is not shown in this QRG.
To activate DMX mode and select the DMX personality, do the following:
1. Press <MENU> until Dmx shows in the display.
2. Press <ENTER> until DMX Mode shows on the top line of the display.
3. Use <UP> and <DOWN> until the desired DMX mode shows on the bottom
line of the display.
4. Press <ENTER>. Dmx shows in the display.
In pixel mapping mode there is a unique DMX address for each orb. The diagrams
on the next pages show these DMX addresses.
The Length setting must be set properly for pixel mapping to work. For
