Data Loss and Power On
DMX Loss Behavior and ACN Loss Behavior
DMX Loss Behavior and ACN Loss Behavior may be set to “Hold Last Look” or “Wait and
Fade”. Each behavior type is set to “Hold Last Look” by default.
•
Hold Last Look - holds any active dimmers at whatever levels they were receiving prior
to the loss of data. The last levels are retained until data is restored or the Paradigm
ACP is reset.
• Wait and Fade - holds the last levels received when the data was lost for a user-defined
amount of time and then fades those input levels to zero intensity using a user-defined
fade time. The default wait time setting is three minutes and zero seconds. The default
fade time setting is zero minutes and three seconds. Wait and fade times can range
from zero minutes and zero seconds to 60 minutes and zero seconds.
