BLACK-OUT button: its LED glows at half intensity, after pressing it, it starts flashing -
indicating that the black-out effect is switched on. In the lower line of the display the
'BLACK OUT ON' caption appears for a short time. Then on the set black-out
channels the set active values will get on the dmx line (these are usually the
SHUTTER channels and they have such values, at which the units do not let out any
light), which overload the value of the automatic channel and the manual one as well,
as well as the contingent switched-on strobe effect or sequence running. After
pressing the button again the black-out effect is switched off, its LED glows at half intensity again, and on the
display the 'BLACK-OUT OUT' caption will appear for a short time.
Another function of the button is to switch the controller on and out (POWER function). When pressing it for a
long time the switched-on controller is switched out.
the program will run always in the 1
group, too. When pressing any of the buttons, its LED starts flashing, and the one with that serial number will
be the current group. From the LEDs 1-16 always those are flashing at full intensity in program mode, which
are the programs with those serial numbers that have been launched in the current group.
Launching the programs:
After pressing the PROGRAM button the programs can be launched on buttons 1-16. After launching the
program its LED starts flashing, indicating that the program is running. The display indicates the number of
the running program which is in the current group as well as the scene number. If you select another group,
the LED indicating the program having run until that time will be flashing at half intensity indicating that the
program belonging to it is running, but not in the current group. If such a program has already been running
in another group, it can be launched as well, the difference is that the program will take up the speed and
scene shifting time of the current group.
The programs which are being created can be masked. Specify which units should be part of it. When
launching a program, the units belonging to its mask will run according to the launched program. If a unit has
been running in another group so far, it will leave that group and only the remaining programs will belong to
that program. This is called unit robbery. If all the units have been robbed from a program by program
launchings in other groups, the program automatically stops, its LED will not flash any more.
If the program button is pressed and held and any of buttons 1-16 is pressed, the program belonging to it will
not start. The controller only displays the name of the program in the lower line for a short time. This way the
program can be identified easily and there is no chance to launch a wrong program accidentally!
Program scene shifting time modification:
The time between loading the program scenes after one another can be set in different ways. With the WAIT
potentiometer the scene shifting can be stopped (stop), shift for music can be switched on (music), or the
time clue can be adjusted (wait) with the BMP button (manual bpm) or the jog discs (auto bpm). With the
SCENE button (scene) you can also affect the program scene shifting.
In music mode the programs can be shifted from the built-in microphone unit or from outer source through
the audio port.
1. STOP mode:
stop mode is not interrupted.
GROUP buttons: The controller can manage four groups,
including the own program running speed, scene shifting time,
and in each group a program can be launched. If none of the four
LEDs glows, an 'A' letter appears next to the 'G' caption on the
display, it means that the contingent speed - or scene shifting
time modification concerns all of them (ALL). When launching it,

display the STOP caption appears. In the
