Creating Dmx Cues (Snapshots); Manual Dmx Scenes - SoundCraft Si Performer User Manual

CREATING DMX CUES (SNAPSHOTS)

DMX cues are stored along with all the current audio settings whenever you STORE or UPDATE
a cue. To create a DMX cue:
a. Activate one of the 4 DMX fader layers by pressing the ALT key and fader layer
A/B/C/D; the FaderGlow will change to white, the names of the DMX channels will
be shown on the fader LCD displays and the DMX master for the active layer will be
on the MONO/SEL fader.
b. Ensure the DMX master is at maximum, the DMX master affects all DMX channels.
c. Raise the DMX channel faders to create the scene you want, any channel can by
'flashed' by pressing the ON key which will light orange and set the intensity of that
channel to full (100%/FL) whilst the on key is held)
NOTE: The DMX master can be 'flashed' to (100%/FL) by pressing the ON key above
the MONO/SEL fader.
d. Store or update the cue using the STORE key or the UPDATE button in the CUE LIST
view, the DMX settings will be recalled whenever the cue is replayed.
NOTE: DMX masters can be assigned to any of the normal A/B/C/D fader layers using
the FADER SETUP function.
NOTE: Use the global ISOlate functions in the SHOW menu to prevent unwanted changes
to the audio when playing lighting cue (and vice versa).

MANUAL DMX SCENES

It is possible to use the DMX capabilities of the console without storing cues, in this scenario
up to 4 'scenes' are created on each of the 4 DMX layers:
a. Create a scene on DMX fader layer A using the process described in CREATING DMX
CUES (SNAPSHOTS).
b. When you are happy with scene bring the DMX master on DMX fader layer A to
minimum then switch to DMX fader layer B by pressing the B fader layer key.
c. Create a scene on DMX fader layer B using the process described in CREATING DMX
CUES (SNAPSHOTS).
d. Repeat steps 1, 2, 3 for DMX fader layers C and D as required.
e. Return to the normal audio fader layers by pressing the active DMX layer key or the
ALT key and fader layer A/B/C/D.
f. Assign the DMX masters to faders on any of the normal A/B/C/D fader layers using
the FADER SETUP function.
g. Fade each master up/down to fade between the scenes set on those layers.
