THE ANATOMY OF A SHOW The Rerun Rackmount has ten show memories each capable of recording 40 minutes of DMX512 data. Within each show memory are non-destructive trim points called the START POINT and the END POINT. The show memory is the data space used to store the show. Its time line always starts at the top of the show memory (the point at which the [SHOW] button was pressed to begin recording).
PLAYBACK OF SHOWS Recorded shows may not be played when there is incoming DMX512. When DMX512 from a console is present, the Rerun Rackmount’s RED LED will be on and the only action possible is recording of a show. Playing a show Shows are played by pressing one of the [SHOW] buttons.

EDITING SHOW PARAMETERS A number of parameters can be edited in recorded shows and for system-wide functions. These include the start point, end point, looping/linking status, linked show number, cross fading, recording lockout, end of show output disable, and front panel lockout. Setting start and end points The [REWIND] and [FORWARD] buttons are used to set the start and end points.

EDITING SHOW PARAMETERS (CONTINUED) Looping By default, shows are looping. This means that when the show comes to its end, the show will automatically re-start itself from the START POINT and run in a continuous loop. When looping is disabled, the show stops at the END POINT and the Rerun Rackmount will send the last levels of the show until another show is selected.

EDITING SHOW PARAMETERS (CONTINUED) Cross fading Each show can have the cross fade function enabled or disabled. When enabled (the default state), the show will execute a two second fade from the current levels to the levels at the START POINT of the show when that show is selected.

EDITING SHOW PARAMETERS (CONTINUED) Software record lockout The Rerun Rackmount has a software record lockout feature. When the software record lockout is enabled, no shows can be recorded and no parameter data can be modified. To alter the software record lockout status, do the following: Start playing any show.
When enabled, the grand master feature does not alter the levels of the incoming DMX512 levels.
