them.
9) Flash Setup Tab: Enable Animation from Flash, unless you
will never be using the onboard show storage.
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.
e) Mp3-50/40 with DMX-512 w/Overlapping Channels: This config-
uration goes back to the typical installation (‘b’ above) and adds
one or more channels of DMX-512 output. If you are using Serial
RealTime Update mode during programming, this is the only con-
figuration which will allow you to access ALL of the Show control
and DMX-512 channels through the serial port.
The DMX-512 transmission always starts with the first channel
stored in the Flash memory, and transmits the first sixteen consec-
utive channels. The six channels of Show Control (five for the digi-
tal outputs and one for the MPU control) are sent out through the
first six channels of DMX-512 (you probably don’t want to put a
dimmer on these channels). This leaves somewhere between one
and ten channels of DMX-512 output for lighting, moving lights,
or whatever.
Depending on the number of DMX channels you need, this
configuration gives a capacity of between 41 and 18 minutes 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 forty-eight digital and zero analog channels. The digi-
tals that come out of the J6 connector are addressed from
‘0’ through ‘3’. The digitals that will come out of the 1/4 J6
are addressed at ‘4’. The last eight outputs (on channel ‘5’)
will be used for triggering the Mp3 Player.
3) Click ‘OK’ to create these channels.
4) Go to PC•MACs 'Channels Pulldown'/'Create Multiple Chan-
nels....'.
