6. Select between 8-bit and 16-bit for each control (16-bit will require two DMX channels, one channel for
normal control, and the channel above it for fine control).
7. Adjust the control offset (explained under "Segment Controls" on page 32) for each control.
8. Decide whether you want to group DMX control channels by parameter or by fixture. For example, if you
have selected two panels before starting the wizard:
If you select Group controls by parameter the DMX channels will be arranged like this:
- Channel 1: Intensity, Panel 1
- Channel 2: Intensity, Panel 2
- Channel 3: Red, Panel 1
- Channel 4: Red, Panel 2
- Channel 5: Green, Panel 1
- Channel 6: Green, Panel 2
- Etc.
If you select Group controls by fixture the DMX channels will be arranged like this:
- Channel 1: Intensity, Panel 1
- Channel 2: Red, Panel 1
- Channel 3: Green, Panel 1
- Channel 4: Blue, Panel 1
- Channel 5: Intensity, Panel 2
- Channel 6: Red, Panel 2
- Channel 7: Green, Panel 2
- Etc.
9. Decide on the start address (the DMX address at which the block of controls will start).
10. Click on the Create Remote Controls button.
Patching controls manually
Instead of using the Remote Control Wizard, you can create controls manually. See Figure 33 on page 32.
The available controls are shown in the control list A on the left of the window. To patch a control or control set
to make it accessible via DMX:
• Drag the control over to the patch frame B on the right-hand side of the window
• Configure segment controls and control sets by adjusting negative and positive offsets, target types and
targets.
• Give a start address to the block of controls (DMX addresses are allocated to controls automatically as one
block that uses neighboring channels, but you can change this block's start address at any time).
Managing DMX controls
Once you have set up your DMX controls either using the wizard or manually, the following options are
available:
• The DMX address at which your block of controls starts can be set at any time using the
Start Address spinbutton.
• All DMX controls can be erased at once by clicking the "delete all" button in the toolbar.
IMPORTANT! This permanently removes all DMX controls from your current configuration.
• Individual DMX controls can be deleted by clicking on the red cross on the right of the control in
the patch pane.
• All DMX Controls can be temporarily disabled by clicking the disable controls button in the toolbar.
TIP! This can be useful if the DMX source (lighting desk) is temporarily unavailable or has crashed.
