Gilderfluke&Co Mp3-50 Audio & Show Controllers - Manual (Page 12)

puts can be controlled individually, or assigned to the same
analog control channel.
• Two hundred fifty-five shows can be loaded onto a Mp3-50/8 or
Mp3-50/40 at one time. Shows can be accessed sequentially or
directly using the four optoisolated inputs or serial commands
sent through the RS-422 serial port. The ‘Next’ show can be set for
the end of any show, allowing you to loop a single show or build
‘chains’ of shows.
• The Mp3-50/8 or Mp3-50/40 supports update rates from one
frame per second to a maximum of one hundred frames per sec-
ond. Different shows can each be programmed at different frame
rates. This allows you to program ‘delay’ shows that tick along at a
low frame rate between your main shows, and use very little
memory.
• Four optoisolated inputs to synchronize Mp3-50/8s or Mp3-
50/40s with pushbuttons or other real-time events. Multiple Mp3-
50/8s or Mp3-50/40s can be triggered simultaneously or sequen-
tially. Each Mp3-50/8 or Mp3-50/40 input can be set to start,
stop, pause, continue, or directly select and play a specific show.
Different actions can be requested on each inputs’ opening or
closing edges. If not used for anything else, the four optically iso-
lated inputs can be used to select and play up to fifteen shows at
random through using a binary weighted pattern.
• Shows can also be triggered via the RS-232 or RS-422 serial ports,
MIDI ‘notes’, or IR Triggers.
• Each of the thirty-two outputs is rated for a continuous load of
150 ma., or 500 ma. peak. This is enough to drive small solenoid
valves, relays, LEDs and similar loads. Relays can be used to con-
trol higher current or voltage loads (DRV-03 or SSR-FS). If more
than forty outputs are needed, additional Mp3-50/8s or Mp3-
50/40s can be added to give you as many outputs as you need.
• The outputs from a Mp3-50/8 or Mp3-50/40 can be fed to Digital
to Analog converters (like our single channel DAC-08 or four
channel DAC-QUAD) wherever you need 0-10 volt analog control
signals.
• When programming, or when installed as a permanent part of a
larger control system, the Mp3-50/8 or Mp3-50/40 accepts data
through its DMX-512 and RS-422 serial port. This data is used to
update the outputs, and takes precedence over the on board
Flash memory.
