Mode Menu (MODE)

The Mode menu allows you to set the fixture type and protocol and crossload software versions from one fixture to all other Technobeam-i fixtures on the link. The procedures below are listed in the order that they appear on the menu map.

Setting the Fixture Type and Protocol (TYPE)

Use this menu item to change the fixture type and protocol. The protocol is specific to the fixture and determines the number of DMX channels the fixture will use.

Note

Although Technopro and Technoray fixtures have been

 

discontinued, their menu options still exist in the

 

protocol.

Available protocols are listed below:

TB F (Technobeam full protocol) - for use with Technobeam fixtures without an iris. This protocol uses 18 DMX channels and is recommended, unless you need to conserve the extra four DMX channels for other devices on the link. The full protocol gives you more control over pan and tilt position and litho spin speed. This protocol allows you to access the Laser Aiming Device™ (LAD) or macros.

TB R (Technobeam reduced protocol) - for use with Technobeam fixtures only. This protocol uses 14 DMX channels. You should use this protocol if you need to conserve the extra four DMX channels for other devices on the link, and your fixtures do not have an iris.
