TRANSMIT?
^¥ TO SCROLL
The TRANSMIT mode is used to generate DMX512 data. By transmitting DMX512 you can assure that
DMX512 receiving devices are operating correctly and diagnose problems. In order to transmit no incoming
DMX512 can be present on the Gizmo’s DMX512 input.
Press [ENTER] to select the TRANSMIT mode. There are four options within this menu. Use the [Ç] or
[É] key to scroll between these options. Use the [ENTER] key to select the desired option.
Transmit one channel
This mode allows selection and control of a single channel. All other channels are set to zero. While in
any of the transmit modes, the DMX512 input is disabled.
The channel number to transmit can be selected by using the numeric keypad or by using the [Ö ], [<], [>],
and [Ñ ] keys. The [Ö ] key moves to the first channel (channel 1). The [Ñ ] key moves to the last
channel (channel 512). The [<] key moves to the previous channel and the [>] key moves to the next
channel.
The level is set by pushing the [AT] key followed by a level. The level can be set using the numeric keypad
or by using the [Ь], [З], [Й], and [á] keys. The [Ü] key sets the channel to full. The [á] key sets the
channel to zero. The [Ç] key raises the level by one step and the [É] key lowers the level by one step.
When selecting the channel number, the displayed level is applied to the newly selected channel and the
previously selected channel is set to zero. This allows the operator to step through a lighting rig for a
channel check by pressing a single button.
Scene Mode
This is a shortcut to SCENE EDIT mode branch of the menu tree. SCENE EDIT allows you control more
than one channel as well as save and recall stored scenes.
Autofade one channel
The AUTOFADE ONE CH mode operates in the same fashion as the TRANSMIT ONE CH mode to select
the channel number. The level for the selected channel will ramp up and down. This is a useful mode to
use when a specific lamp needs to be identified.
Autofade and step
This mode operates similarly to the AUTOFADE ONE CH mode. The difference is that when the selected
channel fades to zero, the channel number is incremented and it then starts to fade up. This is useful for
performing an automated channel check.
