4. OPERATION
The WELL COM can store up to 24 unique steps in each of 18 scenes available for playback. Each sce ne
can be assigned a Fade Time and Hold Time, and output on as many of the 512 channels available to the
WELL COM as desired.
Visual Modeling Mode
This mode programs the output by visual modeling. To prog ram the steps of a scene by DMX chan nel, see
Edit Mode
.
Designing or Editing a Step
To program the light output for a step through the Visual Modeling mode, first select whether the products
to be programmed are RGB, RGBW , or RGBA. From the home p age of the ap p, press RGB FIXTURE (for
products with red, green, and blue LEDs), RGBW FIXTURE (for products with red, green, blue, and white
LEDs), or RGBA FIXTURE (for products with red, green, blue, and amber LEDs).
DMX Address
The DMX ADDRESS setting determines which range of DMX channels are currently being edited. In RGB
mode, the WELL COM will control the currently selected channel and the next 2. In RGBW and RGBA
modes, the WELL COM will control the currently selected channel and the next 3.
Products with different DMX starting addresses must be programmed separately. First program the color
for one starting address, and then change the DMX ADDRESS setting to the starting address of the next
product or set of products. The WELL COM will continu e to send previously configu red channel information
until the settings for those channels are changed.
Products that need to be the same color at all times should be set to the same DMX starting
address. Products that need to be different colors should have different starting addresses,
spaced apart so they do not overlap.
For example, in RGB mode: Product 1 and 2 need to be the same color, so they are both set to
DMX Address 001. Product 3 needs to be different, so it is set to DMX Address 004, because
channels 002 and 003 are taken up by Products 1 and 2.
Count
The COUNT setting allows products with con secutive, non-overlapping DMX addresses to be pr ogrammed
to an identical color without switching the DMX starting address in the app. Set the starting address of the
first fixture, and the number of fixtures, and that number of DMX addresses will respond to the visual
modeler. Examples:
•In RGBW mode, set the DMX ADDRESS to 001 and the COUNT to 4, for the following DMX
addresses to respond identically: 001, 005, 009, and 013.
•In RGB mode, set the DMX ADDRESS to 029 and the COUNT to 7, for the following DMX
addresses to respond identically: 029, 032, 035, 038, 041, 044, and 047.
