Basic Setup + DMX address'

[Rhys]

Okay,

We just want it to WORK now,

Me and my group of amatures trying to set up the lights for this ****ed concert,

It was working friday, but someone sabotaged the equipment, now we need to manually reset everything.

 

Okay, we have 4 dimmer racks

Each with 6 channels

Each with two plug sockets

 

Each dimmer is daisy chained to the next.

Now,

Atm

Rack one has the DMX address of = 100

Rack two = 200

Rack three = 300

Rack four = 400

 

Now, Rack one, Channel 1 has 2 lights plugged in, however on our frog, when we raise channel 1, 4 lights come on, we suspect its because of a clash in DMX address'

Any tips Guys

I Love You if you can fix this, honestly.

The easiest way to get everything going again is to go back to the default DMX patch on the Frog, which will give you 48 channels patched 1:1. Go to SUPER USER -> DESK SETUP -> PATCH FUNCTIONS -> SET DEFAULT PATCH to do this.

 

Then set your Betapack2's to have the following DMX Addresses:

 

Pack 1 (channels 1-6): DMX Address 1

Pack 2 (channels 7-12): DMX Address 7

Pack 3 (channels 13-18): DMX Address 13

Pack 4 (channels 19-24): DMX Address 19

 

You should then have control of all your channels again.
