External Control Setup

Controlling Director with a Lighting Console

In order to use trigger controls from a lighting console, the correct output settings must be configured at the console.
For example, when using a PRG Vx76 control console, the output configuration is set using the Settings window.

To configure Vx76 console MIDI output:

Step

1. At console’s Setup menu, select Settings.

Step

2. At Settings window, select Midi tab.

Step

3. At MIDI Output section, choose an output using drop-down menu. This setting will depend on your own

particular setup. (IAC Driver Bus 1 is selected in this example.)

Step

4. At MIDI ID field, enter a number. In most cases, 0 will work.

Step

5. At Format field, enter a number. In most cases, 1 will work.

Step

6. Select "All Submasters" radio button.

Step

7. Select "Go Cue #" radio button.

When the "last received" menu items are no longer grayed out, this indicates that Director is successfully receiving
MIDI data.
