Gilderfluke&Co Mp3-50 Audio & Show Controllers - Manual (Page 117)

J6 port on the back of the unit.
On a Mp3-50/40, the address entered will be sent out
through channel ‘0’ of the J6 connector. The next four consecu-
tive channels will be sent out through the remaining J6 channels
and the 1/4 J6 output
Flash Setup: The Flash memory on the Mp3-50/8 or Mp3-50/40 is
used to store the Show Control data which is normally output on
the Show Control Outputs, MPU Control channel, Audio Level
control channels, and DMX-512 outputs. The show data is typical-
ly programmed using our PC•MACs software, and downloaded to
the Mp3-50/8 or Mp3-50/40 through the RS-232 serial port or
SmartMedia card.
Although the flash memory has a capacity for 256 channels
of data to be stored on it, this would limit your show capacity to
about one minute (at 30 updates per second). More typically, a
Mp3-50/8 (without DMX-512 output) will need one or two chan-
nels of data stored on it. This will give a capacity of 2-1/2 to 5
hours for show data storage in the Flash memory (at 30 FPS). A
Mp3-50/40 (without DMX-512 output) will need one to six chan-
nels of show data stored on it. This will give a capacity of about
an hour for show data storage in the Flash memory (at 30 FPS). If
you are using the DMX-512 outputs, this can add between one
and sixteen more channels of data that need to be stored, and
will reduce the available capacity accordingly.
Enable Animation From Flash: This checkbox is normally left
‘checked’. If it is unchecked, it will disable the playback of
animation data from the Flash memory.
Disable Outputs When Stopped: This checkbox is normally left
‘unchecked’. If it is checked, it will disable the Show Control
outputs if there is no show running on the Show Control side
of the Mp3-50/8 or Mp3-50/40. This feature is used if there
is a chance that a show will be stopped in the middle, and
it may damage something that the Mp3-50/8 or Mp3-
50/40 is controlling if the outputs are left on for an extend-
ed period of time.
Write Protect Flash Memory: This checkbox allows you to ‘lock’
the Show Control Flash memory against accidental erasure.
If this is checked, then any downloads or writes to the flash
will be ignored.
