The DL.2 Menu System

Menu Screen Descriptions

Menu screens are presented on the display as a tabs. Sub-levels for a specific menu appear as that tab as is selected.

DMX Tab

The DMX screen lets you configure the fixture for the DMX link, view the DMX settings for the fixture on each channel of its range, and view all 512 channel values on the DMX link.

DMX_Control Screen

Use the Control Tab to configure your fixture.

You can choose from three DMX Protocol types:

•Standard protocol requires 170 channels and enables all DL.2 parameters for direct DMX control.

•Dual protocol reduces the fixture footprint to 132 channels by implementing only two graphic objects.

•Single protocol simplifies DL.2 control to a single graphic object and uses 94 channels.

DMX Source defines the source of DMX data and has two options:

•DMX512—Data is transmitted over standard DMX cables.

•Art-Net—Data is transmitted over Ethernet cables using the Art-Net protocol. Set the number of DMX Universes (and DL.2 Ethernet Subnetworks containing this fixture from 0–16).

Scroll through the numbers 1-512 in the Start Channel field to set a valid start channel for the protocol you have chosen:

•Standard protocol = 1–343

•Dual Protocol = 1–381

•Single Protocol = 1–419

For more on choosing valid DL.2 start channels, see Determining a DMX Start Channel on page 38.

You can assign each fixture a unique Fixture ID number from 1-255. This allows the fixture to be identified on the DL.2 ethernet fixture link for tasks like synchronizing playback between DL.2 fixtures and uploading custom content with the Content Management Application (CMA). You can manually set this number in the menu or through the CMA, see Fixture Identification on page 190. For more on DL.2 Ethernet fixture links, see Setting up an Ethernet Fixture Link on page 11.
