    Testing the fixture for proper function is also recommended. During testing, configuration and addressing can be done. The P-3 is an addressable product and is most efficiently configured before installation. This is especially true in installations where the fixtures will be in inaccessible areas.
  • Page 12: Rigging

    All SGM fixtures have locking points in the base for installation and rigging. In both standard and POI fixtures, the distance between the points from center to center is always 106 mm. Standard versions include 1/4 turn fasteners to mount SGM omega brackets.

  • Page 24: Rdm

    SUPPORTED RDM FUNCTIONS RDM (Remote Device Management) is a protocol enhancement to USITT DMX512 that allows bi-directional commu- nication between the fixtures and the controller over a standard DMX line. This protocol will allow configuration, sta- tus monitoring, and management. A RDM controller is needed to get control over the supported parameters. See the tables below for supported RDM functions.
  • Page 25: Controlling P-3 Vision

    OPERATION FROM A SINGLE CONTROLLER The P-3 Vision can be controlled from either one or two controllers at the same time. When Hybrid Mode is disabled, the fixture will behave as a standard lighting fixture in the sense that it will only receive and use data from a single controller.
  • Page 26: Operation From Two Controllers Using Hybrid Mode

    How to use the Crossfade channel? The Crossfade channel is a DMX channel that is present as the last one in every P-3 Vision DMX Mode. It allows the lighting operator to choose whether the Vision Section outputs RGB content from the lighting controller or the media server or a mix of both.
