be shown trough the green leds. (see number30/31)
2. FULL-ON button: As long as this button is pushed in, all channels will have the same maximal intensity,
regardless the working mode and the black outfunction. The dark button (number 15) has priorityabove
the full-on button
3. TAP SYNC button: By pressing this button twice you will adjust the chase speed. By moving the
{SPEED} fader, this stored speed will be erased. This doesn’t apply for the preset B faders (number 29)
of which the speed is stored.
4. HOME button: Only useful in Chase/Scenes mode (check the chapter “How to use” for more
information). Using this button you can switch a channel that is set in BLIND mode (see <BLIND>
button) back in normal mode. So you have to press <HOME> + <PRESETA/B x> to switch a preset B
fader back in normal mode.
5. BLIND button: Only useful in Chase/Scenes mode (check the chapter “How to use” for more
information).With this button you can switch a channel in BLIND mode. In this mode, the intensity of the
channel will only be determined by the preset fader (A for the channels 1 to 12, B for the channels 13 to
24) and the master A fader. Chases or scenes that are stored in a preset B fader don’t have an
influence.So, you have to press <BLIND> + <PRESETA/B x> to switch a channel in blind mode.
6. AUDIO button: Using this button you can (de)activate the audio function (LED above the Audio button

FUNCTIONS (REAR)
1. DC INPUT: connect the supplied AC/DC adapter to this input. If you should use another adapter, please
make sure that it has 9 ~ 12Vdc and minimum 300mA with + in the center.
2. MIDI TRU(left)/OUT(middle)/IN(right): You can attach an external MIDI-controller to these connections
(formore information, see chapter “how to use”)
3. DMX OUTPUT: Sends DMX-signals to theconnectedfixtures
4. DMX POLARITYSWITCH: A DMX-signal normally has the followingconnections:
In some cases it happens that a cable is inversed, as a result of this the DMX-connection doesn’t work.
This can be solved by using this switch. If your DMX connection doesn’t work and all your DMXreceiversare properly addressed, you can check this switch. In normal conditions alwaysput thisswitch
in theleft position.
5. AUDIO input: Here, you connect an audio line signal, so the connected light effects/lamps will react to
themusic.
6. REMOTEconnector: Using a stereo JACK you can switchthe output in BLACK OUT or FULL ON:
The Ring of the JACK to the mass: BLACK OUT can be switched ON/OFF.
The Tip of the JACK to the mass: FULL ON is active as long as the tip is connected to the mass.

HOW TO USE…
This chapter will explain step by step how the CMX24 works. We advise to read this text step by step.
Switching on:
The CMX24 hasn’t got an ON/OFF switch. You have to connect the adapter that is delivered together with
the CMX24 to the DC INPUT connector and the mains. As soon as this happens, the CMX24 will be switch
on.
Connectingwith dimmers:
The CMX24 is equipped with an 3 contact female XLR connector DMX OUT. Besides the connectorthere is
a slide switch that selects the polarity of the DMX-signal. Normally, this slide switch is switched towards the
side of the XLR-connection.
When the connected DMX-devicesdon’t function correctly,switch this slide switch in the other position.

to 100% and Master B changes to 0%. You will a slow fade from the first scene to the second scene. You
are working in the A-B preset mode.
IMPORTANT: Move the {MASTER A} fader to 100% (highest position) and the {MASTER B} fader to 100%
(lowestposition). The CMX24 will choosefor the highest values.
Channel 1 at100%
Channel 2 at 50% (A:50% is higher then B:25%)
Channel 3 at 75% (B:75% is higher then A:25%)
This only works when BOTH masters are set at 100%. The highest intensity has priority
PARK
Set {MASTER A} fader and {MASTER B} fader at 50%, middle position. The scène is a combination of both
presets.
Press and hold the <PARK> button above the Master B fader. Master B will be set at 100% ( this is visible
on the green leds). When a fade time is set,this will happen slowly.
Press and hold the <1-24> button above the Master A fader. Master A will be set at 100% ( this is visible on
the green leds). Whena fade time is set, this will happen slowly.
CHASE/SCENES mode
This control mode allows you to store a scène or a chase of 24 channels in every Preset B fader. The
CMX24 has 4 pages,so you can store altogether 48 scenes/chases.
You can activatethis mode like this:
Press and release the <MODUS SELECT/REC SPEED> button until the [CHASE SCENES]
lamp is lit above the master A/B faders.
Concepts:
Scene/Chase:
A scène is 1 setting of the intensity of the 24 channels. This is in fact a chase with 1 scene. Only this setting
will be showed constantly.
A chase contains multiple scenes and each scene contains the intensity for 24 channels. The scenes will be
showed oneby one (and you can set the speed/fade time).
You have 4 pages with each 12 PRESET B faders which each can contain a scene or a chase. So you can
store48 chases/scenes.
Record mode:
The CMX24 can work in 3 modes:
Safe mode and program mode are always available, whether you are working in Single Preset, Double
Preset or Chase/Scenes mode. The Edit mode is only available in the Chase/Scenes mode. Next drawing
shows you how you can change fromone modus to another.
o Safemode, in this mode you can’t change the programs

U can also workwith the:
{SPEED}fader, the chase speed will be modified
{FADE} fader: the scene will fadeinto the next scene. If the fade time is set too high, it can be
possible that the lamps will not lit at full level, or maybe the chase will not move anymore.
Manual activation of a Chase
Sometimes it is usefull to activate manually every step in a chase.
This can be done in a very easy way:
{SPEED}fader at its lowest position: SHOW MODE
Press and releasethe <STEP> button, situated at the top of the speed fader.
Each time that you press the STEP button,the next step of the chase will be activated.
Synchronizea Chase
Veryoften, when you play music, you want to synchronize the speed of the chase with the beat of the music.
The CMX24 offers you the possibility to press twice on a button, so that the interval time between the two
momentswill be used as speed setting for the chase. you can do it like this:
Press twice the <TAP SYNC> button on the beatof the music.
The interval time will be used to set automatically the chase speed. The position of the {SPEED} is not
important.
! As soon as you move the {SPEED} fader, the chase time will be controlled again by this speed fader!
Memorize the speed
When several chases are running, the {SPEED} fader, the <STEP> button and the <TAP SYNC> button will
influence all the chases. Sometimes it is useful to program a fix speed, so that the chase can not be
influencedby the speed fader, the step and tap sync buttons while running.
This can be done in a very easy way:
Set the chase time by using the {SPEED} fader or the <TAP SYNC> button.
Be sure that the {SPEED} fader is not set at its lowest position (SHOWMODUS).
Pressand hold the <MODUS SELECT/REC SPEED>
Press and releasethe <PRESETB x> button of the PRESET B fader where the chase is stored

The easiest wayto test this is to activate a chase (by using a preset B fader), then place one of the cannels
in BLIND. Now you can adaptthe intensity by using the preset A fader. This channel will not follow the chase
anymore.However, the FULL-ON button will still activate the channel.
To placethe channel back in normal mode:
Todisconnect the channels 13 to 24 from the presetB scenes/chases:
The level will only be determinated byusing the preset B fader,master A fader and the flash buttons.
You can set the intensity of the channel by using the preset B fader. The preset B fader will not be linked

SINGLECHASE
De single chase mode is useful to create quickly different chases.
When Single chase (indicate with the PARK button) is activated, the CMX24 will create chase, based on all
the preset B faders that are not set to zero. Each preset B fader will be activated till all the faderpositions are
shown.Then, the next preset B fader will be shown.
In this text, we consider that all the preset B faders in output 1 have a scene (1 to 6) or a chase (7 to 12)
stored.
Place the controllerin SingleChase mode:
To have a clear view of the effect you should first place the {FADE} fader in highest position and move the
{SPEED}fader till the display shows [1.05] (1,05 second).
Bring the preset B faders 1 to 4 to their highest position. Now you see a chase, composed of 4 scenes that
are stored in the faders. You can set the speed by using the {SPEED} fader, the <STEP> button and the
<TAP SYNC> button. By moving the preset B faders you can modify the chase. Try also to activate the
preset B 7 to 12 faders.
Like this you can quickly create several chases by combining scenes/chases that are stored in the preset B
faders.

CONNEXIONS
Le fait d'indiquer au système le dernier endroit de la chaîne où le signal DMX doit parvenir diminue les
erreurs de signaux et évite les problèmes de transmission ainsi que les perturbations. A cet effet,il est tout à
faitindiqué de raccorder un indicateur d'arrêt du signal DMX (résistance de 120 Ohms et de ¼ de watt) entre
la broche 2 (DMX-)et la broche 3 (DMX+) sur ledernier appareil de la chaîne.
ENTRETIEN
Nettoyezl’appareil à l’aide d’un chiffon doux, légèrement humide. Evitez d’introduire de l’eau àl’intérieur de
l’appareil. N’utilisez pas de produits volatils tels que le benzène ou le 'thinner' qui peuvent endommager

CONVENTIONS D'ECRITURE
Toutesles touches mentionnées sont "encadrées" par des crochets : <TOUCHE>.
IL EST TRES IMPORTANT DE BIEN COMPRENDRE COMMENT SONT IDENTIFIEES LES NOTIONS CIDESSOUS DANS CE MODE D'EMPLOI!
- Pour appuyer sur une touche et la relâcher aussitôt : <BLACK OUT>.
- Pour appuyer sur une touche et la maintenir enfoncée : <RECORD/SHIFT>+.
Par exemple : <RECORD/SHIFT>+ <CHASE REV>.
La combinaison de ces deux touches veut donc dire : appuyer sur la touche SHIFT et la maintenir ; ensuite,
appuyer sur la touche CHASE REV et la relâcher aussitôt ; ensuite et à ce moment seulement, relâcher la
touche SHIFT.
Effectuer les opérations dans le bonordre est donc très important !!
Lorsqu'une touche porte plusieurs inscriptions, celles-ci sont mentionnées en étant séparées par le signe /.
C'est le texte situé au dessus de la touche qui vient en premier,ensuite le signe /, et enfin le texte situé en
dessous de la touche.
Par exemple : <RECORD/SHIFT>.
Tous les indicateurs (lampes témoins, écrans) sont identifiés par les signes suivants : [XXX].
Par ex. : [LAMPE FADER 1].
Tous les curseurs (nous utilisons ce terme pour désigner les potentiomètres à glissière) sont identifiés par
les signes suivants : {FADER}.
FONCTIONS (FACE AVANT)
1. Touche BLACK OUT : va et vient entre black out (toutesles valeurs DMX sont à 0) et normal. La lampe
témoin à côté de la touche clignote quand la fonction black out est active. Néanmoins, les valeurs DMX
sont toujours affichéespar les LED vertes (se reporter aux N° 30 et 31 sur la figure ci-dessus).
2. Touche FULL-ON : Aussi longtemps que cette touche sera maintenue, tous les canaux donneront leur
luminosité maximale, quel que soit le mode en cours ou l'état de la fonction black out. Par contre, la
touche DARK est prioritaire.
3. Touche TAP SYNC : En appuyant deux fois de suite sur cette touche, on règle la vitesse des effets
chenillards. En manipulant le curseur {SPEED}, cettevitesse peut être réglée en continu. Cette dernière
remarque n'est pas d'application pour les curseurs des présélections B (N° 29), dont la vitesse est mise
en mémoire.
4. Touche HOME : Ne fonctionne que dans le mode Chase/Scenes (se reporter au chapitre 'Comment
utiliser l'appareil …' pour plus d'infos). Grâce à cette touche, on est en mesure de faire repasser un
canal en mode normal quand il est en mode 'BLIND' (se reporter à la touche <BLIND>). Il faut donc
appuyersur <HOME> + <PRESET A/B x> pour faire repasser un curseur des présélections B en mode
normal.
5. Touche BLIND : Ne fonctionne que dans le mode Chase/Scenes (se reporter au chapitre 'Comment
utiliser l'appareil …' pour plus d'infos). Grâce à cette touche, on est en mesure de faire passer un canal
en mode BLIND. Dans ce mode, la luminosité lumineuse du canal n'est déterminée que par le curseur
de présélection (A pour les canaux 1 à 12 inclus et B pour les canaux 13 à 24 inclus) et par le curseur
Master A. Les séquences de poursuite ou les 'scenes' qui sont en mémoire via un curseur des
présélections B n'ont donc aucune influence. Il faut donc appuyer sur <BLIND> + <PRESET A/B x> pour
faire passer un canal en mode BLIND.
6. Touche AUDIO : Grâce à cette touche, on est en mesure de mettre en ou hors service la fonction audio
(la LED au dessus de la touche audio est allumée ou pas). Quand la fonction audio est active,la vitesse
de défilement des scènes ou des effets chenillards est déterminée par un signal audio recueilli par le
micro interne ou en provenance du connecteur LINE IN (N° 5 sur la face arrière de l'appareil). Dans ce
cas, le curseur {SPEED} et les touches <STEP> et <TAP SYNC> n'ont donc aucune influence. La
fonction audio n'est pas utilisable pour les effets chenillards dont lavitesse est mise en mémoire via un
curseurdes présélections B.
7. Touche STEP : Grâce à cette touche, on est en mesure de parcourir manuellement les scènes de
séquences de poursuite. Le curseur {SPEED} doit se trouver en position minimum (SHOW MODE) ou
alors, il faut travailler en mode EDIT. Ceci n'a pas d'influence sur les séquences de poursuite dont la
vitesseestmise en mémoirevia un curseur des présélections B.
8. Touche HOLD : Aussi longtemps que cette touche sera maintenue, l'état de l'ensemble des lumières
resterainchangé. Lorsqu'on relâchera la touche, l'ensemble des lumières commencera à s'actualiser via
un fondu enchaîné dont la durée aura été déterminée par le curseur FADE. Grâce aux touches DARK,
FULL-ON, BLACK OUT et PRESET, il est toujours possible d'influer sur l'ensemble des sources de
lumière.
9. Touche PARK :
En mode Single Preset: pas de fonction.
En mode Double Preset : touche flash pour le curseur MASTER B (tenir compte du curseur
{FADE})
Mode Chase/Scene: touche qui permet de choisir entre Single chase et Mixchase
10. Touches 1 à 24 : toucheflash pour le curseur MASTER A (tenir comptedu curseur {FADE})
11. Touche RECORD/SHIFT : est utilisée pour programmer des pas (étapes) ou pour naviguer vers le
mode Programme. Lorsqu'on appuie sur cette touche en combinaison avec d'autres touches, elle a
diversesfonctions selon la combinaison utilisée.
Exemples:
<RECORD/SHIFT>: enregistrerune scène dans la mémoire de travail.
<RECORD/SHIFT> + <CHASE REV> : quitter le mode PROGRAMMATION ou le mode
EDITION.
<RECORD/SHIFT>+ <REC CLEAR> : effacer la mémoire de travail.
<RECORD/SHIFT>+ <1>, <5>,<6>, <8> : activer le mode PROGRAMATION.
<RECORD/SHIFT> + <1>, <3>, <2>, <3> : effacer l'ensemble de la mémoire, et ce, seulement
depuis le mode PROGRAMMATION.
<RECORD/SHIFT> + <% or 0-255> : choisir le mode d'écran (en % ou en valeurs DMX)
<RECORD/SHIFT> + <5>, <5>, <5> : choisir une fourchette de 5 minutes pour le curseur
{SPEED}.
<RECORD/SHIFT> + <10>, <10>, <10> : choisir une fourchette de 10 minutes pour le curseur
12. Touche ADD KILL/RECEXIT :
{SPEED}.
En mode ADD : la lampe témoin [ADD KILL] est éteinte, et le fait d'appuyer sur une touche de
présélection flash a pour conséquence que la présélection passera à la valeur de 100 %, sans
tenir compte de la position du curseur {FADE}.
