NEDERLANDS

This DMX operator running light control is designed for digital control of various light effects such as running lights and projectors. It can control up to 12 different light effect units of 16 channels each. The unit features an easily programmable memory which can store up to 240 different light effect scenes. It can be set to automatic operation or music control via the built-in microphone. The digital DMX-512 control operates with “addresses” for individual control of the connected light units. The outgoing addresses are pre-set to: light effect 1 – start address 1, light effect 2 – start address 17, light effect 3 – start address 33, light effect 4 – start address 49, light effect 5 – start address 65, light effect 6 – start address 81, light effect 7 – start address 97, light effect 8 – start address 113, light effect 9 – start address 129, light effect 10 – start address 145, light effect 11 – start address 161 and light effect 12 has start address 177. Thus, every light effect can be digitally controlled by max. 16 channels provided that the ‘receiving’ start addresses of the individual light effect units are identical to the ones stated above (1, 17, 33, etc.). The slider controls set the light intensity of the lamps and projectors but also the position of the mirrors, colour and gobo wheels.

15. Slider controls 1 to 8 allow to adjust the light intensity from 0 to 100%. The digital output value goes from 0 to 255.

Rear panel connections

The rear panel features three connectors and one slider control. The connectors are: one 5-pin DIN connector for MIDI IN, a switch to invert the polarity of the DMX output signal, a 3-pin DMX output connector (XLR type) and a small connector for the power supply (9 – 12Vdc). N.B.! The small centre pin is positive. Use an appropriate mains adapter which supplies at least 9Vdc/300mA.
