DMX Settings

The DMX Settings menu displays the direction, activity and refresh rate settings for both

DMX port A and DMX port B. These settings are contained in the architectural configuration

and may be configured using LightDesigner.

Port activity is determined by the traffic through each port. The display may read active
or inactive.

Refresh rate is the only user-selectable setting within this menu. When a DMX port is
set to input or disabled, the refresh rate is not selectable or changeable. Refresh rate
settings do not affect updates to streaming sACN outputs data.

The “Best/Auto” setting is default and allows the application to determine the
refresh rate of output DMX to optimize frame sends.

The “Slow 31Hz”, “Med 35Hz”, “Fast 41Hz”, and “Max 44Hz” yield pre-configured
DMX timing and are provided as tools to assist in compatibility issues with DMX
receiving devices that require a specific setting.

menu. DMX Settings displays with Port A Refresh selected.
