The Power Cue DMX allows you to patch various types of effect to an external control device, usually with faders, so that such effects may be faded in and out or set at varying levels and not just switched on and off. The Power Cue DMX lets you make 16 of these patches.
Power Line produces the Power Cue DMX Fader Panel specifically for this purpose. Your Power Cue DMX may have been delivered complete with a Fader Panel already fitted. If not, it is still possible to add one as a separate unit, connected via a data cable supplied with the Fader Panel. Contact your dealer for details. In both cases power comes from the Power Cue DMX and no further external power source is required to drive the Fader Panel.
Alternatively, you may use any lighting desk giving a
Therefore, when you make your cable, do not connect pins 14 and 15 at the Power Cue DMX end.
Using programs you have already made you may assign to a fader :
•a scene, •a chase, •a channel,
•the contents of an output key.
You may elect to patch all channels of a chosen scene to the fader or just the HTP channels; this allows the dimming up/down of moving lights without affecting LTP channels, such as mirrors and color wheels. When patching chases, only HTP channels respond to the fader, in order that the fader does not interfere with mirror movement, color wheels etc.
The patch is programmed via the Power Cue DMX’s SetUp menu as detailed below.
Using a fader while you are In RUN MODE will cause the patched effect to be sent to the outputs.
When a scene is patched to a slider, a copy of the scene is made and and assigned to a memory of its own. When you edit the original scene, the patched scene will not be updated. You must make the patch again to update it.
