DMX/ArtNET

DMX is a standard for digital communication networks that are commonly used to control stage

lighting and effects.

A real time event is a pre-recorded sequence of one or more serial commands which are executed

when a defined trigger occurs. For example:

•

A trigger can be timed based (i.e. Saturday at 1:00pm; occurring every other week)

•

A trigger can be event based (i.e. System powers on, good signal, etc.)

•

A trigger can be a number of other events

Areal time event can use nested loops and delays. Only statically defined commands can be executed,

for example PWR 0, SHU 1. You cannot use variables or other complex programming techniques.

Normal ILS control of the lens horizontal and vertical positions by the projector respects the

boundaries of the lens keep out area.

This area is necessary to prevent damage to components within the projector. When the DMX controls

are used to set the absolute position of the lens, setting values in these keep out areas may result in

an unwanted final lens position. You must ensure that any interim or final lens positions, at any time

during the lens movement, do not enter the keep out area.

Each personality has a different number of channels:

•

Setup Personality—38 channels
