Page 7: Welcome
Welcome! The QUATRIX is Bässgen’s unique synergy of a large number of important functions in a single unit. With the QUATRIX the question is no longer „which control units will be necessary“ but rather „which QUATRIX configuration will best satisfy the task at hand“.
Page 8 Bässgen’s state-of-the-bit IMAGIX software. Imagine being able to load your productions into the QUATRIX and leave your computer at home. Even upgrading the QUATRIX’s operating system for future enhancements is a snap with QUATRIX.
Page 9: Quatrix Overview
This chapter walks you through setting up and operating your QUATRIX. It is intended for both novices and experienced users. Simply follow these steps and you should master the QUATRIX in no time at all. The QUATRIX is a highly versatile control unit which can control up to four projectors of practically any type, as well as relays and other devices —...
Page 10 The two inner buttons serve as up- and down-arrow keys; they are the Scroll buttons used for stepping up and down through the menu lists and items viewed in the display. The QUATRIX’s display shows one menu item at a time.
Page 11: Setting Up And Cabling Your Projectors
Tray-magazine projectors with built-in triacs are connected using Projector Cable Q-1 by connecting the 10/14-pole plug into the projector and the other end into the desired A - D port on the QUATRIX. Round-magazine projectors with 12-pole sockets (Kodak S-AV, Simda, Elmo, Hasselblad) require an additional Triac Adapter TA-4001 since these projectors do not have triacs for controlling the lamps.
Page 12: Initial Configuration
QUATRIX Initial Configuration Using the buttons on the front panel, let us configure the QUATRIX to match your setup. You only need to do this once since you can save this setup (and other setups) in the QUATRIX’s non-volatile memory;...

(„ADDRESS SELECT“ appears again) and skip to the heading „Configure Ports“ below; otherwise: • Press ENTER to access the port-address section; „PORT x“ appears whereby „x“ refers to the output socket on the QUATRIX (and not to a Projector „x“ in a setup). Setting the port addresses •...
Page 15: Configure Ports
QUATRIX • Press ENTER to set „A“ as Port A’s address; an asterisk confirms this. • Press ESC to return to „PORT A“. • Press the lower Scroll button once; „PORT B“ appears. • Repeat the above procedure for Ports B-D, setting them to B, C, and D, respectively.
Page 16: Save Configuration
• Press ESC to return to „PORT A“. Copy function Since we want to have all of the ports configured for Ektapro projectors, we can use the QUATRIX’s copy function to duplicate Port A’s setting to the other three ports: • Scroll until „COPY PORT A->BCD“ appears.
Page 17: Focussing And Alignment
• Press ENTER to cycle through each step of the eight-step alignment routine. The QUATRIX will first bring up the lamps one at a time for purposes of focussing each individual projector. Next, the QUATRIX will bring up the lamps two at a time, using the projector on Port A as a reference.
Page 18 The QUATRIX will load the configuration stored in „CONFIG MEMORY 0“ (cf. „Save Configuration“ above). The Reset function is equivalent to switching the QUATRIX’s power off and then back on again. With the configuration for the productions stored in „CONFIG MEMORY 0“, simply reset the QUATRIX after each production.
Page 19 QUATRIXes can be daisy-chained via the SIG OUT and SIG IN sockets on the rear panels. Configure each QUATRIX for the specific devices connected to it (hint: follow the „Quick Start“ procedure for each QUATRIX). Each QUATRIX will then read out of the control signal only those commands which pertain to the devices configured and connected to it.
Page 20 MEMORY FUNCT. The Main Menu is the gateway to the heart of the QUATRIX. Through it you have access to the configuration areas, read/write routines, diagnostics, advanced features, and memory functions. The Scroll buttons (between the ESC and ENTER buttons) are used for stepping up and down through the Main Menu.
Page 21: Input Select

They include: Standard Playback Analog Playback Digital Playback KODAK P-COM Playback Timecode-based Playback Analog Playback with timecode...
Page 62 QUATRIX INPUT SELECT set „AUTOSENSE“ (or in special situations a more specific setting) SIGNAL SELECT set the input control signal type ADDRESS SELECT set the proper addressing for the projectors CONFIG PORTS set the proper projector types Standard Playback Standard Playback includes all presentation situations where the control signal originates from a multitrack deck, a CD or DAT player, or a computer, with or without music and speech.
Page 63 QUATRIX Analog Playback Control signals recorded on multitrack decks are feed into the QUATRIX via the SIG IN socket. Simply start your multitrack to run the production. The green „CUE“ LCD will light when the control signal is detected. The incoming commands will be sent onto the projectors.
Page 64 Digital Playback Control signals coded into the digital audio signal (eg., DAT or CD) are feed into the QUATRIX via the SIG IN or OPT IN sockets. Simply start your playback device to run the production. The yellow „LOCK“ LED will light when the digital audio signal is detected and the green CUE LED will light when the control signal is detected.
Page 65 The QUATRIX changes this: now practically any projector can be used. The computer is connected to the first QUATRIX via the V-24 IN socket. A total of four QUATRIXes can be daisy-chained via the V-24 sockets; use cable Q-3.

Page 67 • Set IMAGIX into play mode with timecode („sYnc“+“Play“+“ext“). • Start your CD, DAT, or other digital playback device; the timecode will be read into the QUATRIX and passed onto IMAGIX; IMAGIX’s external clock will run. You may start and stop your playback device at any position where there is timecode is encoded.
Page 68 This defines the length of time that the QUATRIX will tolerate a timecode dropout. • The IMAGIX Clock must be set to „ext“ so that the QUATRIX will look for an external clock (i.e., incoming timecode) when the production is started.
Page 69 To do so, be sure that the following items are set in IMAGIX before the production is loaded into the QUATRIX: • The IMAGIX Clock must be set to „int“ so that the QUATRIX will generate its own clock when the production is started. Note: The IMAGIX Clock setting cannot be changed when it is stored in the QUATRIX;...
Page 70 QUATRIX is ideal for use in Speaker Support situations. IMAGIX productions programmed for live presentations can be loaded and run with the QUATRIX using a remote-control device, allowing you to trigger single events/slides as well as complete sequences. Anything which can be programmed with IMAGIX can be played back using the QUATRIX.

Page 74 QUATRIX AUX-Relays The QUATRIX can control up to fifteen auxiliary relays: three each for its Ports A-D and three additional relays via the AC24 socket. These relays can carry a load of maximum 24V/100mA. (Cf. Technical Ap- pendix.) The relays are programmed using the REL command in the Bässgen...
Page 75 QUATRIX „NOCUE –> AUXOFF“ Selected relay groups can be released automatically after a time interval specified in „AUX HOLD TIME“ expires while the other relays remain unchanged. „AUX HOLD TIME“ Release selected relay groups after this time interval. The possible time intervals range from one second to 10 minutes.
Page 76 10-Volt Interfaces Controlling hall lighting, curtains, etc. via 10-volt interfaces is standard procedure in professional work. The QUATRIX supports this standard by providing simultaneous control of up to four projectors and up to four 10-volt interfaces (via the V-24 IN socket). (Cf. Technical Appen- dix.)
Page 77 QUATRIX „NOCUE –> 0 VOLT“ Pins selected in this group can be set to zero volts automatically after a time interval specified in „10V HOLD TIME“ while the voltages to the other devices remain unchanged. „NOCUE –> 10 VOLT“ Pins selected in this group can be set to 10 volts automatically after a time interval specified in „10V HOLD TIME“...
Page 78 IMAGIX’s „X“ feature: any command line in an IMAGIX production can be marked with an „X“ which causes the QUATRIX to halt at that line while running the production. With the „X“ it is possible therefore to break a production up into several sections of varying lengths;...
Page 79 Focus button Focus the lit projector (Ektapro only). Using the buttons on the QUATRIX it is possible to shuffle back and forth through the production. This is especially useful after the lights go off. Seite 79...
Page 80 • Press simultaneously the ESC button and the lower Scroll button on the QUATRIX. The QUATRIX will fast forward through the production at a rate of ten steps per second. The actual position can be read in the QUATRIX’s display. The projectors, of course, will automatically follow your actions.
Page 81 QUATRIX IMAGIX and QUATRIX To accomplish this, let us use features found in IMAGIX and QUATRIX: 1. IMAGIX’s „X“ feature allows you to mark specific command lines in the production. When the program reaches a line marked with an „X“, it will halt if no external timecode is being fed into the system.
Page 82 When the music is finished and the timecode drops off, the QUATRIX will continue until the „X“ marking the next live section is encountered. Seite 82...
Page 83 Just be sure that the timecode drops out (i.e., is erased) between music sections so that it can retrigger the QUATRIX later. This way you can make use of the advantages of both internal and external clocks.
Page 84 Going live At the presentation, call up the appropriate production from the QUATRIX’s memory (RUN MEMORY 1/2/3/4), start your tape or CD, and away you go. If everything is set up correctly, the timecode will enter the SIG IN or OPT IN socket and call up the appropriate sequences.
Page 85 IMAGIX software. This feature allows you to load your productions into the QUATRIX and leave your computer at home. Upgrading is a snap with QUATRIX: simply send us your QUATRIX’s serial number with your order. To find the serial number, see „ID Number“...
Page 86 Formating timecode Formating timecode is accomplished by connecting IMAGIX to the QUATRIX via the V 24 IN socket and the QUATRIX to track 3 of your multitrack deck via the SIG OUT socket. • Connect your gear according to the following schematic: •...
Page 87 With the QUATRIX and the Timecode and Memory Upgrade, you need not record the PlusTrac signal onto the multitrack at all: simply load the production into the QUATRIX’s memory and run it from there. The QUATRIX can store up to four productions in its internal memory. Should you need to present more than four productions in one session, then using a multitrack deck is a viable alternative.
Page 88 Internal Memory The internal memory included in the Timecode and Memory Update allows you to store four complete IMAGIX productions in your QUATRIX. Each production can have up to 2000 IMAGIX programming steps. Each of the memory locations can be used over again simply by overwriting a production with another production.
Page 89 QUATRIX Of course, productions can be played back in perfect synchronization with a multitrack or other playback medium (eg., CD, DAT) using both the QUATRIX’s memory and its timecode capability. See the chapter „Playback with QUATRIX“ for details. Seite 89...
