Enable/Disable outputs when stopped, as needed. Leave
the Write Protect Flash unchecked, or you will not be able to
save the show you are creating to the Mp3-50/8 or Mp3-
50/40. Disable it after you have completed programming, if
needed. The Repeater Control Channel and First Animation
channel number were set on a previous tab.
b) Mp3-50/8 with One Show Control, One Mp3 Control Channel:
The most typical installation for a Mp3-50/8 uses one eight bit
channel for Show Control, and a second one for controlling the
Mp3 playback. This means that none of the Show Control outputs
are ‘lost’ to the Mp3 Player. The Mp3 Player is configured for trig-
gering AudioFile starts on the MPU input bits.
This configuration gives you a show capacity of approximately
2-1/2 hours in the onboard Flash memory.
Starting with a blank site file, you can create all the channels
you need by:
1) Open PC•MACs, Create a 'New' show. Go to 'Channels
Pulldown'/'Create Multiple Channels....'.
2) Select sixteen digital and zero analog channels. The first
eight outputs (on channel ‘0’) will go to the Show Control
Outputs. The last eight outputs (on channel ‘1’) will be used
for triggering the Mp3 Player.
3) Click ‘OK’ to create these channels.
When you have finished programming your show you will
AutoDownload it to the Mp3-50/8. Set the ‘First Channel’ to ‘0’
and the ‘Last Channel’ to ‘1’ on the PC•MACs File Pulldown/Save
as AutoDownload.... window.
In the Mp3 Configurator Program:
1) Track Setup Tab: Point it at your SmartMedia card and set as
needed.
2) PlayLists Tab: Set up as needed, if needed.
3) Audio Tab: Set audio levels and EQ as needed. Disable Re-
alTime Audio Level Control. Enable/Disable amplifier as
needed.
4) Input Tab: You will be using the MPU inputs in this case. Dis-
able ALL of the Optoisolated Inputs.
