If preset playback was enabled when you powered the fixture OFF, preset playback restarts automatically when you power the fixture back ON again. You can disable preset playback at any time by selecting OFF from the PLAY menu.

1. Keep pressing the <Menu> key until PLAY appears in the LED display. (The Play option allows you to turn preset playback on and off.) The dim flags close when you make this selection, so you will not see any light exiting the fixture; this is normal.

2. Press <Enter>, then use the <Up> and <Down> arrow keys to select ON.

3.Press <Enter> to start preset playback.

4.Your scene(s) start playing back, starting with scene 1, continuing to the first unprogrammed scene, then returning to scene 1, etc. The LED display should look similar to the one below:

Dot indicates preset playback is on

MENU ENTER

Figure 4-2. A dot always appears in the LED display whenever preset playback is on.

5. To turn preset playback off, keep pressing the <Menu> key to select the PLAY option and press <Enter>.

6. Use the <Up> and <Down> arrow keys to select OFF and press <Enter>. That stops preset playback, but leaves the currently-running scene active. Select an unprogrammed scene to return the fixture to its default state (with no scene active).

Synchronizing Preset Playback

Once you have programmed one or more scenes for your Technobeam fixtures and connected them to a DMX 512 link, you can synchronize preset playback from one fixture as described in this section.

Note

Do not put a controller on the DMX 512 link if you want

 

to use synchronized preset playback.

Setting Up the Fixtures

Make sure you do all of the following when you set up the link. More information about setting up a DMX 512 link is shown in Chapter 2.
