  • Page 6: Performing A Factory Reset

    Performing a Factory Reset If someone else has used your LumenDimPixMicro, or you just want to get back to a known configuration, performing a factory reset is easy: Power on the device. The green COP indicator will be blinking. SetA Press and hold Func, briefly tap (press and release) the SetA button, then release Func.
  • Page 7 If the RF Connect LED remains on, or is blinking, repeat the process until it stays off. When the RF Connect LED is off, the LumenDimPixMicro is ready to be linked to your transmitter. Link status is not affected by performing a Factory Reset. You must intentionally unlink to disconnect from a previously linked transmitter.

  • Page 8: Link Button

    Linking Transmitter and Receiver In this example, we’re using an RC4 LumenDimIO transmitter. Have both devices powered on. Put the LumenDimIO Mode switch in the transmit position. Connect a DMX data source to the XLR data input on the LumenDimIO. Tap the Link button.
  • Page 9 Connecting Pixel Strings and Power Title To use your LumenDimPixMicro, you must connect pixel products to at Text least one of the two outputs. When you’re connecting anything to your LumenDimPixMicro, be sure that the LumenDimPixMicro is powered down. Connect everything, being sure that the power supply delivers the correct voltage for the pixels you are using;...
  • Page 10 RC4 Custom Pixel Profiles The LumenDimPixMicro with patented RC4 Custom Pixel Profiles (CPP) provides a simple but powerful means of creating and controlling up to 1000 pixels. RC4 CPP vastly reduces the number of channels needed, while supporting a level of designer creativity not possible with other channel-saving techniques.
  • Page 11 * A Keyframe Length of 60 is evenly divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, and 30, making it easy to create the appearance of varying pattern lengths without the need to actually change CPP settings in the LumenDimPixMicro. Of course, there are numerous lengths with interesting benefits and advantages.
  • Page 12 RC4 OneTouch uses four DMX channel levels to assign values to LumenDimPixMicro parameters. Channel levels are captured and saved with the press of a single button for each driver port using the SetA and SetB buttons. While you are using RC4 OneTouch , only DMX channels that are setting parameters should be at levels above zero.
  • Page 13 RC4 OneTouch Implementation in LumenDimPixMicro In the implementation chart below, channel S is the DMX Start Channel, range 1 to 512. The level of channel S and the next three channels set RC4 Custom Pixel Profile parameters. Parameters are described in detail on pages 14 - 17.
  • Page 14 Set DMX Start Channel and Pixel Type for Each Port To use RC4 OneTouch , the LumenDimPixMicro must be paired to a CRMX transmitter, and live DMX channel data must be streaming. The first channel in the DMX universe that is at a non-zero level will be assigned as the DMX Start Channel.
  • Page 15 Select Pixel Color Order Repeatedly pressing the same Set button will cycle through 6 color orders. Se- lect the color-order of the pixel product being used, and the LumenDimPixMicro will re-order the control channels for red/green/blue control from your console:...
  • Page 16 Set Group Size in Pixels The second channel after the DMX Start Channel sets the Group Length in pixels. A value of zero will be ignored, so the previously set Group Length will remain unchanged. For decimal values 1 - 250, that value directly becomes the Group Length. The remaining high levels result in the following Group Lengths: DMX Chan Lev Group Length Selected...
  • Page 17 Set Pattern Replication Method Title This parameter is configured to support 12 different methods of extending the Keyframe pattern over the length of all pixels controlled by a CPP driver. The first 4 methods are currently assigned. The remaining 8 methods are not Text yet designed, and selecting one will default to method 1 (Incremental).
  • Page 18 The LumenDimPixMicro supports wireless RDM when used with an RDM- capable CRMX transmitter. * MY9231 control requires a very small clock adaptor module between the LumenDimPixMicro and the first pixel, available from RC4 Wireless.
  • Page 19 RC4    Wireless online Knowledge Base for more details. Don’t hesitate to ask for assistance! Caring for Your LumenDimPixMicro • The LumenDimPixMicro should not be used with AC power or with any voltage higher than 35VDC. Doing so will severely damage the device and is extremely dangerous for the operator.
