Setting DMX Input to 9-Channel Mode
The 9-Channel mode allows nine channels to be used to trigger any scene,
pattern, show, or blackout by interpreting the values as a binary code. The
starting address for the 9-Channel mode can be adjusted anywhere within the
console's 512 control channels. Levels above 50% are considered a logical 1,
while levels less than 50% are considered a logical 0.
A zero value causes a blackout to occur. Scenes, patterns, and shows have both
on and off commands. The scenes are mapped to values 1-24 (on) and 145-168
(off), patterns to values 25-120 (on) and 170-264 (off), and shows to values 121-
144 (on) and 265-288 (off).
For example, to turn on pattern 40 (Playback button 16 on Pattern Page 2), the
nine channels should form this binary pattern, 000000100 (only the seventh
channel of the nine-channel frame is on; the other eight channels are off). The
lowest channel number represents the least significant bit of the binary number.
The least significant bit of the binary number is the number to the farthest left. (A
complete set of tables detailing the channel values for each event can be found in
the tables in the Appendix at the end of this manual.)
