values up until the 256th bytes sent, then followed with a
two byte checksum.
The Show Control Outputs, Audio Level Control, And Re-
peater Control channels often overlap with some of the
lighting control channels when operated in this mode. If
you don’t want to do this, you can actually use all sixteen
DMX-512 channels for lighting control if you address your
Show Control Outputs, Audio Level Control, and Repeater
Control channels
after the sixteen lighting control channels.
Of course this will eat up your Flash memory capacity
mighty quickly.
6) Status Output: (Mp3-50) Two position Screw Terminals. This output
is the uncommitted collector (+) and emitter (-) of a darlington
optoisolator. It can be used as a remote ‘audio running’ indicator
for an external system. The current capability of this output is only
about 50 ma.. It can be used to drive LEDs and solid state relays,
but not heavy or inductive loads.
7) Left Speaker Output: (Mp3-50, Mp3-50/8, Mp3-50/40) Two posi-
tion Screw Terminals. This is one of the two outputs of the Mp3-
50, Mp3-50/8 or Mp3-50/40 ‘s onboard amplifier. It can be used
with any speakers from 4 ohms upwards. The amplifier is rated for
a maximum output of 11 Watts per channel. This is plenty power-
ful for most applications. External amplifiers can be fed from the
Line Level Outputs if more power than this is needed.
8) Right Speaker Output: (Mp3-50, Mp3-50/8, Mp3-50/40) Two po-
sition Screw Terminals. This is one of the two outputs of the Mp3-
50, Mp3-50/8 or Mp3-50/40’s onboard amplifier. It can be used
with any speakers from 4 ohms upwards. The amplifier is rated for
a maximum output of 11 Watts per channel. This is plenty power-
ful for most applications. External amplifiers can be fed from the
Line Level Outputs if more power than this is needed.
9) ‘1/4 J6’ Inputs/Outputs: Ten Position IDS Connector. This connec-
tion serves two completely different functions, using the very
same pins:
Mp3-50: These pins are used to connect to the eight optically
isolated trigger inputs which are used to select AudioFiles,
start, mute, half mute, pause, or unmute the Mp3 Player.
What each of these pins will do is set using the ‘Mp3 Con-
figurator’ program. These inputs CAN NOT be used to start
an animation sequence running on the Show Control half
