MODES
The BB7 has 10 different operating modes to
suit different uses, programming styles and
dmx configurations.
MODE 1 - 3 channels 8 bit
The most simple, ideal for fast programming or
limited dmx line space and as a node on a media
server. All 7 cells are treated as 1 with the 3
channels red, green & blue affecting the whole lamp.
ch1 - red all cells
ch2 - green all cells
ch3 – blue all cells
MODE 2 - 6 channels 16 bit
Ideal for fast programming or limited dmx line space
and as a node on a media server. With a greater
resolution over the colours. All 7 cells are treated as
1 with the 6 channels red, green & blue affecting the
whole lamp.
ch1 - red high byte all cells
ch2 - red low byte all cells
ch3 - green high byte all cells
ch4 - green low byte all cells
ch5 - blue high byte all cells
ch6 - blue low byte all cells
MODE 3 - 5 channels 8 bit
Ideal for fast programming or limited dmx line space
with overall dimming & strobe control.
All 7 cells are treated as 1 with the 5 channels dim,
strobe, red, green & blue affecting the whole lamp.
ch1 - master intensity all cells
ch2 - strobe all cells
ch3 - red all cells
ch4 - green all cells
ch5 - blue all cells
MODE 4 - 9 channels 16 bit
Ideal for fast programming or limited dmx line space
with overall dimming & strobe control and a greater
resolution in control over the dimming and colours.
All 7 cells are treated as 1 with the 5 channels dim,
strobe, red, green & blue affecting the whole lamp.
ch1 - master intensity high byte all cells
ch2 - master intensity low byte all cells
ch3 – strobe all cells
ch4 – red high byte all cells
ch5 - red low byte all cells
ch6 – green high byte all cells
ch7 - green low byte all cells
ch8 – blue high byte all cells
ch9 - blue low byte all cells
MODE 5 - 21 channel 8 bit
Ideal for use with media servers where dmx line
space may be a consideration. Each cell can be
individually coloured with its own red green blue
channels (most useful when each cell is patched
individually -3ch)
ch1 - red cell 1 ch2 - green cell 1
ch3 - blue cell 1 ch4 - red cell 2
ch5 - green cell 2 ch6 - blue cell 2
ch7 - red cell 3 ch8 - green cell 3
ch9 - blue cell 3 ch10 - red cell 4
ch11 - green cell 4 ch12 - blue cell 4
ch13 - red cell 5 ch14 - green cell 5
ch15 - blue cell 5 ch16 - red cell 6
ch17 - green cell 6 ch18 - blue cell 6
ch19 - red cell 7 ch20 - green cell 7
ch21 - blue cell7
