Stage Designer 50 User Manual Rev. 10
Black Out stops all DMX output from the controller. Functions will still work during Black
Out, but there will be no DMX output. To toggle Black Out:
Press the <BLACKOUT> button.
The yellow indicator LED for Black Out will be lit if Black Out is active.
At any time, pressing the <DARK> button will temporarily black out the controller.
Releasing <DARK> will restore DMX output. Scenes playing back will continue while
DARK.
While a scene is playing back, press and hold the <HOLD> button to freeze DMX output to
its current state. Release <HOLD> to unfreeze. Although DMX output will freeze, the
scene will continue.
Releasing <HOLD> will cause the output to jump to the step currently being processed.
Pressing the <BLIND> button and a channel's flash button at the same time will black out
that channel.
Pressing the <HOME> button and a blinded channel's flash button at the same time will
restore its function.
There are four reverse functions available to the Stage Designer 50:
1. Beat Reverse: pressing the <DOWN / BEAT REV> button will reverse the playback
of all scenes that have a beat recorded. This is effective even in Single Chase
mode.
2. Chase Reverse: pressing the <UP / CHASE REV> button will reverse the playback
of all scenes that do not have a beat recorded.
3. Reverse One: pressing the <DELETE / REV ONE> button will reverse the playback
of selected scenes.
4. All Reverse: pressing the <EDIT / ALL REV> button will reverse the playback of all
scenes.
NOTE: Reverse functions remain the same with Audio Triggering activated.
The Stage Designer 50 can display fader and auxiliary states as DMX values or as a
percentage out of 100. To toggle the number system:
1. Press and hold the <RECORD / SHIFT> button.
2. Press the <INSERT / % or 255> button.
3. Release <RECORD / SHIFT>. The number system will have changed.
Pressing the <ADD KILL / REC EXIT> button during playback will toggle Add Kill mode,
which will be shown by the indicator LED being lit.
In Add Kill mode, pressing a flash button <1 / 25>–<12 / 36> will bring that channel to full
output and black out all other channels. The scene will continue to play back in the
background, but only the selected channel will output.
Releasing the flash button will cause the output to jump to the step currently being
processed.
Pressing the <FULL ON> button will cause all 48 DMX channels to output 100%.
Releasing <FULL ON> will restore normal function. If a scene is playing back when
<FULL ON> is released, the output will jump to the step currently being processed.
To reset the product to factory settings, deleting all scenes, settings, and data, do the
following:
1. Enable Record.
2. Press and hold the <RECORD / SHIFT> button.
3. While holding <RECORD / SHIFT>, tap the flash buttons in the following sequence:
<1 / 25>, <3 / 27>, <2 / 26>, <3 / 27>. (1, 3, 2, 3.).
4. Release <RECORD / SHIFT>. All channel LEDs will flash.
