Luminex LumiNode Series - Switch; Custom

SWITCH
The switch functionality provides you with an easy to use tool to
remotely select within up to four inputs, which input can control
your rig. By sending different values for the switch channel, you’ll
be able to select the relevant input. The switching between
inputs does not include any crossfade.
From the switch panel, you can define the switching channel, the
protocol and universe number, as the IP address of the control
source. Click on the gearwheel icon to change these parameters.
The red warning triangle is a warning that the process
engine cannot be congured without a Switch control
source. This is to indicate that the control source has not
been congured yet for the Switch. As soon as the control
source has been congured this triangle will disappear.
Patch and Master / Limit options are available for this mode.
Control channel mapping:
000 - 007 Do Nothing / Idle (current active source stays active)
008 - 015 Input 1
016 - 023 Input 2
024 - 031 Input 3
032 - 039 Input 4
040 - 247 Future use
248 - 255 Do Nothing / Idle (current active source stays active)
CUSTOM
This mode is ideal for a complex setup, or when per channel con-
trol is needed. Custom offers you to choose what policy to apply
for each channel, and to create a complete custom soft patch.
Depending on the mode chosen, up to four DMX, ArtNet, sACN,
RTTrPL, Internal or Play inputs can be merged in this policy.
The custom mode offers you to combine any mode or combina-
tion of modes including: Input 1 only, Input 2 only, Input 3 only,
Input 4 only, LTP, HTP, X-Fade, Backup, and switch.
To get access to the custom patch panel, click on the patch icon.
From this panel, you can define the complete patch per input,
with any merging policy, or control source (fig. A).
Use the “From To” tool to quickly apply a merging policy or mode
to a range of channels.
Once the merging policies have been applied to the DMX chan-
nels, you will be able to assign a remote-control channel.
Use the “From To” tool to quickly apply a control channel to a
range of DMX channels. Press the “Apply” button to save your
settings.
