PLAYBACK OF SHOWS
Recorded shows may not be played when there is incoming DMX512 unless the pile-on jumper (JP5) has been
removed. When DMX512 from a console is present, the Rerun Portable’s RED LED will be on and the only
action possible is recording of a show. When the “pile-on” jumper is removed, incoming DMX512 data will be
piled onto the currently running show in a highest-takes-precedence fashion.
Playing a show
Shows are played by pressing one of the [SHOW] buttons. When a [SHOW] button is pressed, the current show
will stop running. The Rerun Portable will then execute a two second fade from the current levels to the levels
at the START POINT of the new show. After the fade is complete, the new show will start running. The SHOW
LED will illuminate adjacent to the button that was pressed.
The two second fade feature can be disabled (see Editing Show Parameters). If the fade feature has been
disabled in the newly selected show, selecting that show will immediately stop the current show and start the
new show from its START POINT.
When a show comes to its end and looping has been enabled (the default state) the show will start over from
its START POINT. If looping has not been enabled the Rerun Portable will continue sending the last levels of
the show until another show is selected. The END LED will light to show that the end of the current show has
been reached.
Note:
! If a show is playing at the time power is lost, Rerun Portable will return to the start of that show when power is restored.
! DMX512 from a console will not pass through if the Rerun Architectural is not powered.
Pausing a show
A running show can be paused by pressing the [PAUSE] button. When a show is paused the PAUSE LED will
illuminate and the Rerun Portable will continue sending the current DMX512 values for that point in the show.
While paused, various show parameters can be edited. See the section on show editing for details.
A paused show can be resumed by pressing the [PAUSE] button again. The PAUSE LED will extinguish and
the show will continue playing from the point at which it was paused.
Looping a show
When a show is selected, its recorded loop status is loaded. This is indicated by the LOOP LED. If desired,
the loop status of a show can be temporarily overridden. While the show is running, push the [LOOP] button.
This will toggle the temporary state of the LOOP LED. If the show was looping, the [LOOP] button will cancel
the loop . If it was not looping, the [LOOP] button push will enable looping. Pressing the show button will reload
the recorded loop status for the show and re-start the show from its START POINT. Altering a show’s loop
status while it is running is temporary. It is not recorded with the show.
Note:
! Looping can also be recorded into the show. This is covered in the editing show parameters section of the manual.
LOCKING THE FRONT PANEL
There is an option which will allow the front panel of the Rerun Portable to be locked to prevent unauthorized
operation. This feature is disabled by default. When the feature is enabled, the station can be locked or
unlocked by tapping the active [SHOW] button three times. When entering the lock mode, all of the front panel
LEDs will flash once. The LEDs will not flash when exiting the front panel lock mode.
