DMX Backup Mode

DMX Backup mode provides 24 (48) memories of 512 channels each. The DMX Input can
be mastered on either fader #1 or the last fader (24 or 48) depending on the setting in
Settings>DMX In Fader>First/Last.
There are no channel faders, only memory faders. There is only one page of memories
available. Memories are recorded by capturing the entire DMX universe being received by
the console. The console may be configured to pile-on with DMX input, or to automatically
take control if the DMX input fails.
A basic cue stack is provided. It contains 24 (48) steps and cannot be edited. The STACK
may be played back on the crossfaders, and fade timing may be adjusted using the [RATE]
button and the dial.
N o t e :
In backup mode, there can be no console output until you connect DMX input from
another DMX output device or until you record DMX from another device into the memory
faders.
Fader #1 (or the last fader, depending on DMX In settings) and the Master Fader must
be up to pass DMX input levels to the output or to record to memories.
