Controller operation
The speed channel must be set to “tracking speed” when using a cross-fader
(tracking control) to program fades.
The speed channels also provide a “blackout speed” that makes transitions invisible.
8-BIT VERSUS 16-BIT PAN/TILT RESOLUTION
The 8-bit modes (1 and 3) provides coarser control of pan, tilt, and gobo indexing
than the 16-bit modes (2 and 4), which use 3 additional control channels for fine
position control.
To select DMX mode
1Scroll to Pro in the main menu, press [enter], and scroll to the desired DMX mode,
d1, d2, d3, or d4.
2 Press [enter] to activate the setting and return to the main menu.
ADDRESS SELECTION
The control address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to
receive instructions from the controller. The total number of channels used depends
on the control mode.
Be sure to allow adequate channels when setting the control address. If control
channels for one fixture overlap control channels for another fixture, then one of the
fixtures will receive the wrong commands. Two MiniMAC Maestros operating in
the same control mode may share the same address if they are to respond
identically. They will receive the same commands and individual control will be
impossible.
To set the control address
1Scroll to Adr in the main menu and press [enter]. The current address is displayed.
2 Scroll to the address that is assigned to the fixture on the controller. Press [enter] to
activate the address setting.
CONTROLLABLE EFFECTS
LAMP POWER
Lamp power can be switched on and off from the controller. When set-up for
controller operation, and with the automatic lamp-on personality set to off, the
lamp remains off until a lamp-on command is sent.
