e)! IR Trigger Mode

Turning this mode on disables

DMX-512

,

MIDI in

and

Net Serial

input on the

DMX-512/MIDI serial port

.

Data output from the DMX-512/MIDI serial port will be buffered and repeated, but otherwise an unaltered
version of what is received on the input.

When this mode is enabled, it sets the DMX-512/MIDI port to 1200 baud, and listens for commands

transmitted by the Gilderfluke & Company IR transmitter and receiver. The IR Remote is typically used to
trigger an animation or sound system mounted on a vehicle, turntable, or other installation where wires
can’t be used.

The connections to the IR Remote Receiver are as follows (view is facing end of cable with latch up):

In addition to these connections, the IR Receiver requires a seven to twenty-four volt DC (Direct Cur-

rent) power supply connection. This is normally attached to the two pads marked “+” and “-” on the receiver.
A jumper option allows you to bring this in through the blue wire on the RJ-11 connector.

The IR Transmitter has an eight position dipswitch which sets which show it selects. The lower nibble

of the address is set with the first four switches, and the upper nibble is set with the last four. Valid show
numbers are 01h through FFh:
