BANK SETTINGS TANK CALCULATOR Easily calculate the total amount of runtime of your CO2 tanks. The calculator factors in the number of jets and tanks, 1LB/Sec. Tapping on the “SECONDS” number will allow for custom time input for other FX. Tank times are not available for fog modes, even though the calculator is still displayed. -
Page 15: Mode Selection
MODE SELECTION The ShoMaster has 4 banks of control, with each bank being assigned a mode. These modes can be thought of as “fixtures” or “preset modes”. Currently there are a total of 8 “preset modes” and 4 custom modes. Custom modes are user configurable, with extensive options. -

AC OUT, you will likely not want the output tied to the key lock switch. Checked box = key required for output. Unchecked box = key not required for output. In addition to the modes listed above, the ShoMaster also has 4x customizable modes, explained below. -
Page 19: Custom Modes
On the left side of the custom mode screen, user has several control options. By default, when configuring a custom mode, the ShoMaster will not actively send DMX output. If desired, user can toggle to LIVE, which will prompt a starting address be entered. This will enable DMX output in real time, starting at the entered DMX address. - Page 20 CUSTOM MODES SETTING VALUES When creating a custom mode, we recommend setting a function name to each channel. For example, if you are configuring a custom mode to control a CO2 Jet & LED, the channels would look like the below image.
- Page 21 CUSTOM MODES LIVE OUTPUT The LIVE OUTPUT feature is useful when user would like to preview or tweak the desired look before saving the cue. When the LIVE toggle is enabled, user will be prompted to enter a starting DMX address. This address should match the starting address of the product you are programming.
- Page 22 CUSTOM MODES MODE SETTINGS When setting up a custom mode, user will have several options available, including; • Number of channels (1 to 20) • Channel type (channel’s function) • Key Role (when checked, channel cannot be triggered unless key is in the “armed” position) •...

DMX input status, and also allow DMX input to be disabled. In order for the incoming DMX to control the ShoMaster, DMX input must be turned on, and the key must be in the armed position. When DMX input is triggering cues, the timers will run, and the cue buttons may illuminate to indicate which cues are being triggered. -
Page 30: System Lock
SYSTEM LOCK System Lock is a feature that allows the ShoMaster to be passcode protected, similar to a smartphone. Useful when the operator needs to step away from the console, and doesn’t want to risk having any FX accidentally triggered. -
Page 31: Device Patch
DEVICE PATCH The Device Patch will perform all calculations to ensure that no DMX channels overlap between banks. The patch menu is a good starting place to calculate all banks starting addresses. User can also change modes directly from the Device Patch, streamlining the show setup. The Auto address feature will automatically parse the bank’s DMX addresses to the lowest available slot. - Page 32 IDENTIFYING FIXTURES, CHANGING MODES, and CHANGING ADDRESSES. Press DISCOVER FIXTURES to begin a discovery. If there is only one or a few fixtures connected to the SHOMASTER, discovery will be quick. The discovery method inherently becomes longer with each device that is within the RDM scope.
