video system components to convert video to DMX, for example) the processing can interfere with video response times. If you enable video tracking, the fixture does not ‘smooth out’ DMX input but instead snaps instantly when a DMX value changes. For best results, we recommend that you enable video tracking during video display and disable it (the default setting) during normal DMX control. -

• TEMPERATURES provides separate PCB temperature readouts. DMX signal monitoring The MAC Quantum Profile provides data on the DMX signal it is receiving in the DMX LIVE menu. This information can be useful for troubleshooting control problems. RATE displays the DMX refresh rate in packets per second. Values lower than 10 or higher than 44 may result in erratic performance, especially when using tracking control. -
Page 15: Adjusting Settings Via Dmx
Adjusting settings via DMX Certain fixture settings and parameters can be adjusted from the DMX controller on the Fixture control/settings channel. Commands sent on the fixture control channel override any settings entered in the fixture’s onboard control menus. To help you avoid accidentally applying a setting that may disrupt a light show, for example, most of the commands must be held for a certain time before they are applied. - Page 16 If you have overwritten the factory default values by applying a CALIBRATION → SAVE DEFAULTS command in the SERVICE menu, the fixture will return to the last default calibration values that were saved).
