8.5 EXTRA channels in memories

EXTRA 1 and EXTRA 2 channels like any other scan feature can be selected in
the STORE MATRIX.
By using selective programming, it is possible to program memories or steps,
which control only the EXTRA channels, whereas other memories may control
only the scans and keep the dimmers and color changers untouched.
Instead of setting the values for EXTRA 1 or 2 via the encoder wheels or
presets, it is possible to set the values via a standard DMX console, connected
to the Scancommanders DMX input.
1. The DMX output of the lighting console goes to the DMX input of the
Scancommander, the Scancommander DMX output goes to stage.
2. EXTRA 1 or 2 units get patched to the same DMX addresses like the
lighting board channels. The Scancommander will compare the incoming
value and the Scancommander setting for the values and the highest will be
send to stage.

4. STORE
Storing any memory or chaser step will take the DMX input values as set at
the lighting console and will store it within the Scancommanders memory.
The actual values at the Scancommander are ignored.
5. When modifying a picture via EDIT-MODIFY-STORE the Store will work as
regularly.
After programming the memories, the lighting console can be disconnected
and the memories can be recalled via the Scancommander.
To avoid clearing the EXTRA channel by any STORE operation, switch off
"EXTRA X DMX INPUT" as soon as the lighting console is disconnected.
The DMX INPUT in the SETUP menu has to be
selected
