System Overview
The CopyCat offers a simple method of recording presets for
backup or playback.
The CopyCat comes in two configurations: Consolette or Stage
Panel. Both operate in the same fashion.
Connection:
Connect the DMX-512 signal from the primary console to the
CopyCat, then connect the output signal to the dimmer bank.
Power Indicator: Shows power to the CopyCat (Green LED).
DMX Indicator: Shows incoming signal (Yellow LED).
RC Indicator: Shows remote control for console (Red LED).
Mode Switch:
Pass Thru - The incoming DMX-IN signal is the only source to
the dimmer bank.
Pile-On - The DMX console and the CopyCat are on line at
the same time in a "highest takes precedence"
operation.
Solo - The CopyCat ignores the incoming DMX signal,
and is the only source for the dimmer bank.
Page Switch:
There are 3 pages of memories. A handle will not switch pages
untill that handle is at 0. In this case, the LED is green.
To Record:
Press the RECORD button and the playback button underneath
the desired handle.
To Delete a Preset:
Press RECORD with no incoming DMX signal. This will fill the
preset with zeros.
Bump Button Function Jumper Settings:
None: Press the button underneath the sider to fade up or down
the playback. It will fade to 100% at a constant rate
regardless of the sliders position. The LED will light red,
signifying the playback is up. Pressing another button
will activate those playback levels, leaving the previ-
ous levels up in a highest takes precedence rule.
A to B: Press the button underneath the slider to fade up the
playback. It will fade to 100% at a constant rate
reguardless of slider position. The LED will light red
signifyin the playback is up. Fading a playback out can
only be done by bringing the handle of the playback to
10 and then bringing it down. The LED light will go out
upon bringing the handle down. Selecting another
playback button will cause the previous playback to
fade out, and the one selected, to fade up.
C to D: Press the button to "bump" the levels of a submaster.
These levels will display at 100% when the button is
depressed and drop to 0 when released.
