GLP Impression X4 BAR Series Programming Notes page 2

This guide will serve as an outline for the various DMX modes for the X4 BAR 10
and X4 BAR 20 with a focus on Normal Mode to assist in understanding how to
program the fixtures when set to this DMX Mode.
Normal Mode in the X4 BAR fixture implements a unique layer effect system that
allows for an extremely wide array of effects whilst using a minimum of DMX
Channels.
You can choose between 7 DMX modes each designed for different applications
and preferences:
• Normal Mode (BAR 20 - 34 Channels / BAR 10 - 33 Channels):
Most common mode with all basic functions with layered effect features
• Compressed Mode (BAR 20 - 19 Channels / BAR 10 - 19 ):
Limited channel mode.
Channels are sorted to match the impression X4 normal mode.
• High Resolution Mode (BAR 20 - 35 Channels / BAR 10 - 34 Channels):
Same as the Normal Mode but with 16bit Master Intensity dimming
• Single Pixel Mode (BAR 20 - 88 Channels / BAR 10 - 48 Channels):
Individual control of the RGBW values for each pixel (i.e. for pixel mapping)
• Single Pixel High Resolution Mode (BAR 20 - 89 Channels / BAR 10 -
49 Channels):
Same as the Single Pixel Mode but with 16bit Master Intensity dimming
• Dual Pixel Mode (BAR 20 - 48 Channels / BAR 10 – 28 Channels):
Same as the Single Pixel Mode but with 2 pixel combined as one to reduce
the channel count.
• Dual Pixel High Resolution Mode (BAR 20 - 49 Channels / BAR 10 - 29
Channels):
Same as the Dual Pixel Mode but with 16bit Master Intensity dimming
The example that will be shared in these notes will apply to both the X4 BAR 10
and the X4 BAR 20
