Onboard DMX out
The FB4 hardware is equipped with a serial port that is capable of generating DMX output
for control of DMX controllable hardware inside Laser Projectors. This DMX function does
not require the FB4 DMX daughter board to operate. You can use this serial port for control
for diffraction gratings and other hardware internal to the laser projector. This means that
when the in the software DMX is enabled, the FB4 is able to forward incoming DMX signals
through the serial port.
BEYOND internally has 4 universes for “DMX OUTPUT”. In total this will allows you to
output 2048 DMX channel values. A part of this array can be sent through the FB4 its serial
port.
For example, QuickDMX can be used for creating DMX sequences. Additionally, in
BEYOND Ultimate Fixtures and the Object Animator can be used to generate a DMX signal.
The DMX signal will only be sent when the “Enable Laser Output” button inside QuickShow
or BEYOND is activated. Secondly. at least one of the four DMX Universes of BEYOND
must be enabled. If all 4 outputs are disabled, BEYOND will not generate any DMX signal.
Note, if no additional DMX output is required, use mode “BEYOND FB4 stream” mode to
enable DMX output through the serial port on the FB4 as shown in the image below.
The 3.3Volt serial port connections can be found on page 31.
