Streams - this feature allows to define parameters of 8 music streams on the basis of which ź the PX245 converts audio stream into DMX-512 signal. The music stream should be treated as a filter that converts part of the audio signal spectrum to DMX-512 signal.
4) From: ... To: .. [Hz] - frequency range analyzed for defined stream, the parameters can be set in a range 15 -7968 [Hz]; 5) Thresh. (threshold) - value of analogue spectrum, below which the PX245 does not process the analog signal to the DMX-512- this parameter can be set 0-512;...

DMX512 protocol - useful information DMX512 protocol describes exactly the way according to which data is sent. The basic element of each data transfer protocol is a low or high level of voltage on the line called a bit. Its duration in the DMX512 is exactly 4 microseconds. The set of such a few bits determines transmission code.

This means that even if we have a simple 6-channel lamp controller, the transmitter still have to send 24 DMX channels. The interval between each frame of data is marked as MARK BETWEEN FRAME (MBF) and can range from zero to 1 second. Thus, a complete DMX package looks as below: START DIMMER...

Remember to save values by selecting the button and pressin g „enter” 5. Channels number - Using this feature, you can limit the number of channels sent from the PX245. The minimum value is 24 channels and the maximum is 512 (default).
7.5. Input DMX This menu provides a graphical preview of DMX-512 signal received by the device. The presentation of DMX signal: The value of DMX signal on a given channel is presented in the form white bar, the height of which varies proportionally according to the relation: the greatest height - DMX value is 255, no bar - DMX value is 0.
7.7. Language settings Language Settings allow you to change the menu language. To do this select appropriate language using buttons and press „enter”. 7.8. Firmware version In this submenu you can check the firmware and bootloader version installed on the device. You can also restore the default settings implemented on the device.
Turned On (shorting) inputs are shown in the tables in the form of crosses. If you do not connect the DMX control signal or any bistable switches, the PX245 works with the music configuration set in [No DMX Configuration...
