  1. Nice Idea Laubfrosch :mrgreen:

     

    My suggestion for this particular problem is

    modify the Fixture via the Fixture Type Editor set shutter home value to 0

    when chase/ movements are runing press home and voilá it stops it all immediately.

    adventagous you can start other chasers with new beamshape options colour movement etc. by raising another submaster.

  2. Hi Chris,

    don´t let K-Nine know that you can't make sense out of his handwritten manual :-)

    pay attention to the notes, they are full of useful informations

     

    If you already programmed a memory it is very easy to transfer it to a submaster.

    Select your memory in memories screen i.E. Mem 10 then push and hold the transfer to submaster button then the submaster flashbutton you want to transfer it to.

    There is another button [transfer with time] the effect is that fadetimes set up in the memory will transferred to the submaster too.

     

    Hope this helps.

  3. ThankÂs Daoops for tutoring me ohmic laws ...

     

    DMX - is a inverted signal of DMX + so in the cable accures due to capacitance a pulse.

    110Ω Cables are used to minimize the possibilities to get a own-pulsing cable.

     

    To match european laws driver chips have to be 15kV electrostatic discharge save.

     

    Some of the fixtures driverchips such as LTC485 doesn´t have this protection.

  4. It works fine but it's unstable.

    we use microphone cables in live situations for DMX since 10 years and it works stable.

     

    The dimmers may start to flicker, and you can damage fixtures like movingheads and scanners.

    Our DMX system (22 devices) hasn´t such problems with the DMX wiring.

    How do I damage my scanners and movinghead´s with a wrong DMX signal of max. current DC5V ?

  5. Hi,

    Cat5/7 shielded twisted pair cables are suited for installation purposes.

    For example: SFTP4x2xAWG24

     

    Other AES/EBU 110Ω cables are better for "live" situations as they are "flexible"

     

    We use normal microphone cables for DMX connections as we don´t want to build up a seperate DMX cable park :) works fine too.

    This option dosn´t match the USITT1990 nor DIN5693

  6. To connect some DMX devices it´s useful to have some adapters.

     

    5pin male XLR to 3pin female XLR

    3pin male XLR to 5pin female XLR

     

    they are available at your wholesalers, or you solder your own:

     

    take some digital cable (110 ohms),NCMX5, NCMF3 or NCMX3, NCFX5

     

    configuration of full patched USITT1990:

    configuration of half patched USITT1990 (most used DMX connection):

    schaltplan21.gif

     

    configuration (Adpater):

    the 3pin XLR connections don´t match with USITT1990 but they are tolerated in the industry.
