FULL DMX OPERATION
For DMX operation, the MX-1 must be connected to a DMX controller as
described under “Data connection” on page 14 and its DIP-switch must be set to
the control address as described on page 11.
DMX CHANNEL DESCRIPTION
See also the DMX protocol on page 21.
Channel 1 controls the light intensity and the strobe rate. It also allows you to
execute a “stand-alone” program with random pan/tilt movement using automatic
or music trigger.
All mechanical effects are reset to a home position when the fixture is powered
up; they can also be reset from the controller by sending a reset command on
channel 1.
Channel 2 is not used by the MX-1.
Channel 3 controls the position of the color/gobo effect wheel. When set to full
(DMX 255, 100 percent), the wheel moves to random positions using the trigger
selected on channel 1.
The mirror position, pan and tilt, is controlled on channels 4 and 5.
Channel 6 controls pan and tilt speed, allowing you to vary the movement speed
with controllers without cross-fade times. If your controller has cross-faders, and
you use them, then set channel 6 to the “tracking” speed (DMX 0, 0 percent).
1-CHANNEL DMX OPERATION
The MX-1 may be operated in single-channel mode with the optional MC-1 or
any DMX controller connected as described on page 14. If using the MC-1
controller, set the DMX address to channel 1. If using a DMX controller, any
channel may be assigned and set using DIP-switch pins 1 - 9.
The DIP-switch must be set with pin 10 off and pin 11 ON. Lamp power can be
set with pin 12 (see page 13).
