2.2 The 12 Analog Scenes
The procedure to record and activate one or more of the analog scenes is to connect a Remembrance
Analog Station (CTP-8-1001 through CTP-8-1012) to the input circuitry on the i series e control module
backplane. Connect as described below. These signals should be Daisy-chained between racks.
[ COM of Remembrance station ] connects to [ COM of TB4 on i series e Backplane ]
[ V+ of Remembrance station ] connects to [ +V of TB4 on i series e Backplane ]
[ T/C of Remembrance station ] connects to [ T/C of TB2 on i series e Backplane ]
[ A1 through A12 of Remembrance station ] connects to [ A1 through A12 of TB4 ] on i series e Backplane
DMX Snapshot Record Mode:
• Activate the scene to be recorded on the DMX-512 input port. (usually from the control console).
• De-activate the Panic Input and any Backup Scenes to make sure the scene is right.
• If you desire a programmable fade time to be associated to the analog input, then patch DMX-512
dimmer channels 511 & 512 to the same control channel source (like the last channel on your console),
and set the fade time according to table below. A 10% level difference between DMX-512 channels 511
and 512 will cause the control module to treat the 2 levels as lighting levels as opposed to fade times.
Each analog input scene has its own fade time associated with it. Fade times operate as a damping
factor for analog pot station inputs, but operate as a fade time when connected to the VOUT of an
entry station.
Approximate Fade Times
Full = 100 seconds
98% = 30 seconds
95%= 30 seconds
93% = 20 seconds
90 %= 9 seconds
80 %= 8 seconds
70% = 7 seconds
60% = 6 seconds
50% = 5 seconds
40% = 4 seconds
30% = 3 seconds
20% = 2 seconds
10% =1 second
0% = instantaneous
• Go to the Analog Station. Slide all the channel faders to off. Slide the master fader to full. Push and hold
the ON/OFF button in the on position with the led will lit, for about 5 seconds.
• When the control module enters DMX snapshot mode, the lights will dim proportionally by 50%, and
the Diagnostics LED on the control module will light.
• Slide up the channel fader that is to save the current live scene.
• Continue holding the ON/OFF button while the lights return to their original intensity.
• Wait 2 more seconds for all control modules to exit record mode.
• Release the ON/OFF button.
• Test the record sequence by placing a blackout scene on the DMX-512 input port. Fade up the newly
recorded scene on the channel fader (the ON/OFF LED should be lit and the Master fader set at full)
The scene will activate.
