5 Submenu 1 – Output
The merger offers the possibility to reduce the data transmission speed
of the output. This can often solve problems such as flickering or total
failure with extremely old DMX devices in the network.
After entering the submenu 1 (OUTPUT SPEED), the following display
appears:
Mode 1,
OUTSPEED
or
MED. >33
The right "UP/DOWN" - keys change as often as desired between these
3 settings, the left, lower „OK" - key saves the current selection.
You can cancel and return to the main menu with "MENU / ESC" - key.
The repetition rates of the DMX output signal are approximate only.
Also, the output signal is not simply slowed down by a waiting time at the
end of each data stream.
This would not have a positive effect, as experience has shown that
receivers with problems with too high transmission speed also require
longer break and signal times within the data stream, for example:
• a longer BREAK signal,
• a longer delay afterwards (MAB - MARK AFTER BREAK),
• a break between the data words (MBS - MARK BETWEEN
SLOTS), and
• a break after the last data word before a new data stream starts
with BREAK (MBB - MARK BEFORE BREAK)
The following table shows the times currently used in the three speed
variants:
