DMX Mode is provided as a shortcut for switching between DMX Start Address and DMX
Patch. The LCD will either display the DMX address range or “DMX Patch”, depending on
the mode selected.
Presets
SmartPack features up to 32 built-in presets which can be recalled without the need of any
external control system. For SmartLink enabled systems with a LinkPower supply installed,
up to four 5 or 10 button preset stations may be used for remote recall of the built in presets
and sequence.
When you record a preset, SmartPack will snapshot any level whether set in the test menu
or by a DMX input. If both levels are present it will record all levels. When a new preset is
recorded using the same preset number, SmartPack will record over the previous levels.
Unless preset timing is configured otherwise, presets are activated in the default fade up
and fade down time of 3 seconds.
