Capture Dmx To Scene; Default Presets - High End Systems x.Spot Xtreme Handbuch

Capture DMX to Scene

The CAPTURE DMX TO SCENE option works in conjunction with a DMX controller to
automate the creation of scenes on multiple x-Spot fixtures connected to a DMX 512
link. Use the DMX controller to create a scene, then save (capture) the DMX values
for that scene into a fixture's presets.
Transferring the DMX values to the fixture's onboard menu will allow playback
without the controller or transfer to other x-Spot fixtures on the same DMX link, see
"Send Presets to Other Fixtures" on page 3-15.
When capturing a scene into a fixture's presets, all parameter values must be
constant (i.e., there cannot be any pan/tilt movement or scene-to-scene sequencing).
*Note: The fixture's on-board scene memory must be used to manually select values
for the Crossfade and Delay parameters, since a DMX controller will not
transmit those parameter values.
This menu option can be accessed for either User A or User B. To change User mode,
see "Select User Mode" on page 3-20.
To CAPTURE DMX TO SCENE:
1. If the menu system is locked, press and hold down the Menu button until the
extended 2-line display appears indicating the top menu level.
2. Using the left and right arrows on the Navigation button, scroll through the top
level to ONBOARD PRESETS MENU and press the Enter button to select.
3. Using the left and right arrows on the Navigation button, scroll to CAPTURE DMX
TO SCENE. The display will show the current scene number.
4. Use the up and down arrows on the Navigation button to scroll to the scene
number to take values from the controller and press the Enter button to select.
The fixture takes a snapshot of the DMX values coming from the controller and
assigns them to the selected scene. The display will return DONE when the action
is complete.

Default Presets

The DEFAULT PRESETS option resets the fixture to the factory-program preset
sequence. Enabling this menu erases any pre-programmed scenes or parameter
values in the fixture's onboard memory for all scenes in that User Mode.
This menu option can be accessed for either User A or User B. To change User Mode,
see "Select User Mode" on page 3-20.
To restore DEFAULT PRESETS:
1. Press the Menu button to unlock the menu system or to move back up the system
to the top level menus.
