Operation; Color Control; Stand-Alone Operation - Martin Professional Stagebar 54 User Manual

Operation

Once the Stagebar 54 is connected and set up as described earlier in this manual, adjust color and intensity
using the DMX controller following the applicable DMX protocol (see page 22).

Color control

See "Color control mode" on page 13 for a description of RGB, RGBAW, HSI and HSIC modes.
RGBAW is a 'raw' control mode. If the Stagebar 54 is set to RGBAW mode and you require precisely
matched, even color, it may be necessary to compensate for small differences in LED color rendition by
fine-tuning LED intensity on individual pixels at the controller. If this is inconvenient, switching to one of the
other color control modes will give management of color mixing to the fixture software and deploy factory
settings, thus restoring color evenness.
All five LED colors are active in all color control modes.

Stand-alone operation

In stand-alone operation, the Stagebar 54 can be programmed to run two types of display without the need
for a DMX controller:
• A static color that you select by adjusting the intensity of the RGBAW pixels.
• Dynamic sequences of RGB, RGBAW or pastel colors that you can set to run at fast, medium or slow
speed. Colors cross-fade (this means that one color fades smoothly into the next with an overlap) and
each sequence repeats in a loop.
Programming stand-alone operation

When stand-alone operation has been programmed, the Stagebar 54 runs the selected stand-alone display
whenever it is powered on.
DMX override
If a Stagebar 54 receives a DMX signal during stand-alone operation, it stops its stand-alone display and
obeys DMX commands. If the DMX signal is no longer received, the Stagebar 54 resumes stand-alone
operation after a delay of approximately 5 seconds.
