Leprecon AI-512 - Manual (Page 33)

Editing Playbacks
Pick a playback from the list on the left, and get ready to build some scenes!
Two methods are available for building your scenes. The first is:
DMX Snapshot
To use the snapshot feature, you must have a DMX control desk connected to the DMX input of the
interface. Bring the channels up on the desk, and you will see the dimmers and fixtures in the system
respond. Set the desired scene with the desk, and click on the 'DMX Snapshot' button. The AI-512
will capture the DMX data, and display it in the display grid.
Once this data is captured, you can modify it further with the manual data entry features of the AI-512.
Data Entry
The lower section of the record screen has the controls that you need to edit a channel or a group of
channels. The controls and syntax are similar to those in a theatre memory desk. You can use the data
entry section as follows:
1. Click on the 'Dimmer' button. Place the cursor in the data entry field and use the numeric
keypad of your computer to enter a starting channel number.
2. Once you have a starting dimmer number entered, click on the 'thru' button, or press the 'T'
key on your computer. Enter the ending dimmer number for setting a block of dimmers.
3. The interface defaults to a level of 100%. To set a value other than that, click on the 'level'
field and enter a percentage value between 1 and 100%.
