Manual Assignment of DMX Channels
It is possible to individually assign the DMX channels of the connected light effect
units to the control elements of the controller (softpatch). However, some DMX
channels must be assigned according to a certain scheme, in order for the controller
to correctly perform the integrated movement patterns, color effects and fade
effects. For control of the pan/tilt function of moving heads or scanners, the
corresponding DMX channels must be assigned e.g. to the pan and tilt wheel; and for
control of RGBW light effect units, the DMX channels which control red, green, blue,
white and the dimmer function, must be assigned to the sliding control 1-5. The
assignment can be made in the system settings.
1. Keep the button MENU pressed for 2 seconds to call the system settings.
