6.3.6 Connect Loss Action
This menu allows you to set the actions that the
e24V3 will take when a DMX signal is connected
(or restored after a loss). There are separate
settings for
• Dimmer channels whose “Control Source” is
DMX.
• Dimmer channels whose “Control Source” is
the output of the DMX/MEM Switch. See
“Control Source” earlier in this section for
details.
Press;
[Menu] [DMX Input] [Connect Loss Action].
The screen is divided into two sections;
• The top section sets the action for dimmer
channels under “DMX Control”. These
settings are described below. The screen
also shows the channels that are under
“DMX Control”. In the example above it is
channels 10, 11 and 12.
• The bottom section sets the action for
dimmer channels controlled “via DMX/MEM
Switch”. These settings are described on the
next page. The screen also shows which
channels are under “DMX/MEM Switch”
control. In the example above it is channels 5
to 9 and 13 to 24.
6.3.6.1 “DMX CONTROL” CONNECT
LOSS ACTION AND BACKUP MEMORY
In the event that the DMX input signal is lost, the
DMX controlled channels in the e24V3 can be
configured to respond in different ways.
The e24V3 can either HOLD the last valid DMX
levels indefinitely or, after a programmable
(hold) time, it can crossfade (Xfade) to a
“Backup Memory” previously stored in the
e24V3.
When DMX is restored, the e24V3 will
immediately crossfade (in the Xfade time) back
to the DMX signal.
Pressing [Hold Time] brings up a keypad screen
where you can enter a DMX hold time from 0 to
300 seconds (5 minutes) or you can select an
[Infinite] DMX hold time. After making your
selection press [Set].
