Reset Of All Address Assignments And Control Channel Options; Operation In The Direct Mode; Adjusting An Illumination Scene; Operating The Control Lever - IMG STAGE LINE DMX-1440 Bedienungsanleitung

1) To change the presetting for a control chan-
nel, select the control channel with the but-
tons 12 /+ and 11 / − (2) or via the numerical
keys by two-digit direct input .
2) Go to the parameter
with the cursor key

12 / YES or 11 / NO, define whether the value
of the channel is to depend on the master
fader (indication ) or not (indication
Y
For channels controlling the brightness,
it is very useful to depend on the master
fader so that the brightness of a scene can
be dimmed with the master fader for all
lamps in common . This option should be
switched off for other channels, e . g . for
motion control (pan / tilt) or colour selection .
3) Go to the parameter
the cursor key . Define with the button

12 / YES or 11 / NO whether a crossfading of
the channel should be possible (i . e . during a
crossfading, the controller calculates for this
channel values between the start scene value
and the target scene value and sends them
to the output) or not (at the beginning of a
crossfading the target value is immediately
sent to the output) .
The possibility of crossfading is useful
for channels controlling the brightness and
the motion (pan / tilt) . For channels selecting
the colour or gobo, crossfading with interim
values may have a disturbing effect .
4) Go to the parameter
cursor key . Select with the button 12 / YES

or 11 / NO whether the control channel is to
react to the button BLACKOUT (29) [i . e . in
the blackout state, the control channel has
the value zero] or not .
The blackout function is useful for chan-
nels controlling the brightness, the iris, and,
if necessary, also the gobos if a quick darken-
ing is reached by this function . The blackout
function should always be switched off for
channels which control the motion .
5) Go the parameter
the cursor key . Define with the button

12 / YES or 11 / NO whether the control chan-
nel is to react to the flash buttons (12) and
the button FULL ON (28) [i . e . when pressing
these buttons, the control channel is set to
the maximum value] or not .
The flash function is useful for channels
controlling the brightness, the iris, and, if
necessary, also the gobos . The flash function
should always be switched off for channels
which control the motion and trigger the
reset .
6) With the button ESC / SETUP (21) or

ber . Repeat the operating steps for further
channels or actuate the button ESC / SETUP
again to exit the adjustments of the options

ware version . Then
in the first line . After switching-on, always the
first scene from the memory bank 1 is called .
Therefore, a suitable basic illumination should
be memorized for this scene (chap . 6 .1) .

5.1 Adjusting an illumination scene

with the
Blackout
1) With the buttons CONTROL CHANNEL PAGE
(1), select the group in which the control
channels to be adjusted are located:
1 – 12, 13 – 24, 25 – 36, 37 – 48
49 – 60, 61 – 72, 73 – 84, 85 – 96
ent groups to the same value at the same
time, it is also possible to select several
groups . For this purpose press the corre-
sponding buttons at the same time . The
LEDs next to the buttons show the activated
groups .

2) For the basic adjustment, slide the fader
MASTER LEVEL (15) fully upwards to the
maximum position . Then make the desired
adjustments with the grey sliding controls
(14) . If a control is moved, the display (6)
shows the number of the control channel in
the lower line, e . g .

does not react immediately to the move-

previously been moved to the position which
corresponds to the output value indicated .

If one of the grey sliding controls is
same time, always the output value of the
channel with the lowest number must be
"fetched" . Thus, no abrupt jumps of the
Y/N
output values occur when the unit switches
to another control channel group or illumi-

nation scene .
3) All control channels can be set to the value
Y/N
zero as an initial position . For this purpose,
actuate the following buttons one after the

STORE / PRG (22)
DELETE (24)

Note: After switching on the unit, slide all grey slid-
ing controls downwards to zero . Then assign
.

the value zero to the control channels . Thus,
the output values immediately react when the
sliding controls are moved .

5.2 Operating the control lever

Four control channels of each channel group
may be adjusted alternatively to the sliding con-
trols via the control lever (18) . The two channel
pairs 1 + 2 and 7 + 8 of each group can be
activated independently of each other (move-
ment horizontal = 1
2 or 8 channel) .
nd th
To activate, press the button STICK CTRL
ASSIGN 1 / 2 (17) and / or 7/ 8 (19) . The respective
LED STICK CTRL (11, 13) shows that the con-
trol lever for the corresponding channels of the
selected group(s) is active . To deactivate, press
the button once again .
Notes:
a With activated control lever, contrary to the ad-
justment via the sliding controls, the values for
the corresponding channel pairs are immediately
taken over, irrespective of the last output values .
b A fine adjustment of the channels can be made
after the deactivation of the control lever via the
sliding controls .
c When calling a scene (chapter 6 .2), the control
lever is automatically deactivated .
d The control lever is especially provided for channels
for motion control (e . g . pan / tilt for scanners or
moving heads) . This should be considered when
the control channels are configured (chap . 4 .4 .1) .
e For channels which are operated via the control
lever, the influence by the fader MASTER LEVEL
(15) should be switched off when configuring the
control channels (chapter 4 .4 .2) . Otherwise, value
jumps may occur with active control lever and si-
multaneous actuation of the fader MASTER LEVEL .
5.3 Dimming an illumination scene
118
with the fader MASTER LEVEL
With the fader MASTER LEVEL (15), it is possible
to dim all DMX units simultaneously which can
be controlled in brightness . When actuating the
fader, the display shows the adjusted value in
per cent from the maximum value in the lower
line (e . g .
Master: 25 %
channel for the brightness has been adjusted to
50 %, with a master value of 50 % the output
value is 25 % .
To change only the brightness of the scene
by the MASTER fader, when configuring the
control channels, always switch off the function
Master Depend for the channels which are not
used for brightness adjustment (chapter 4 .4 .2) .
Otherwise, the DMX units change e . g . also the
colour, the gobo, or the light radiation angle
when actuating the MASTER fader .
