Dmx Operation; Dmx Master Operation; Dmx Slave Operation; Dmx Mode - Core Lighting ColourPoint MK2 User Manual

DMX Operation
CORE ColourPoint is equipped with a Wireless Solution W‐DMX wireless radio transmitter
and receiver. This allows the fixture colour to be set up by or synchronized with sequences
produced by a DMX lighting controller or other ColourPoint unit when in Receive, or SLAVE
mode.
Alternatively when in MASTER mode the unit can be linked to many Slave units which will
then duplicate everything output from the Master.
If you are not using a ColourPoint as a Master unit then a compatible W‐DMX transmitter attached to a DMX
controller is necessary. This could be a lighting desk, a specific controller, or a CORE Point 15, 20 or 30 Master unit.
When the 'Function DMX' screen is shown, after a few seconds the screen automatically
reverts to the last mode used, either Master or Slave. By pressing the
Type' screen is shown, which allows the user to select the opposite mode using
key.
DMX Master Operation
Once Master mode is set, the Master may be linked to any number of unlinked slaves by
pressing the Wireless key momentarily.
The adjacent link light will flash for a few seconds whilst it links
then go solid.
DMX Slave Operation
When in DMX Slave mode the display will show the current active DMX Start Address so
the unit can be controlled from elsewhere.
The number of channels occupied is depends on the "DMX MODE" setting (4 or 5 channels
may be used by the fixture).
In this mode the entire universe is output on a side connector pin, for which a connector cable is available to hire
from ABC Production Services for connection to other non‐wireless fixtures.
