Introduction to the rear
Explanation:
There are 2 optical isolated DMX512 output sockets, which have the same signals.
The USB interface is compatible to the USB Drives which meet FAT format, such as USB1.0, USB2.0
and so on
Audio signal input socket is a 1/4” mono socket with –10 ~ 0dB input level. When the plug is connected,
music trigger signal comes from audio input signal. When the plug is pull out, music trigger signal comes
from the environment sound picked by the inside microphone.
Please use the standard fuse. The standard is printed on the backboard.
The power supply must be connected to the earth line to ensure the safety.
Set X/Y channels for scanners
Flame 384 scanner console can control the scanners with 8Bit or 16Bit X/Y resolution.
Before Flame 384 scanner console uses modulation wheel to control the X/Y position of any DMX512 standard
scanner, the address of every scanner must be set and the set control channel number of each scanner must be
written to the console one by one.
X axis of 16Bit resolution scanner is controlled by two data channels. Y axis is controlled by two data channels, too.
So X/Y is controlled by 4 data channels: X axis coarse channel (high 8Bit), X axis fine channel (low 8Bit), y axis
coarse channel (high 8Bit), and Y axis fine channel (low 8Bit). For 8Bit resolution scanner, X/Y is controlled by 2
data channels: X axis coarse channel and y axis coarse channel,
The explanations of the display can be seen in append table 1.
Setting operation of X/Y:
From the User’s Manual of the scanner, whether the scanner is 8Bit X/Y or 16Bit X/Y and the attribute of the
corresponding channel can be known.
1. Press SET X/Y key, the indicating light is on. It is in setting scanner’s X/Y state.
2. Use scanner keyboard to choose scanner.
3. Use modulation wheel WX to choose edit item.
4. Use modulation wheel ST to choose the value of the corresponding channel, range: 1-16, no.
5. Repeat step 2-4 to set X/Y of the other scanners.
6. Press SET X/Y key to quit the edit state.
For example:

The setting of 16Bit scanner
The setting of 8Bit scanner
For 16Bit scanner, if the values of X-H,Y-H are set and the values of X-L,Y-L are set to [no], the 16Bit scanner
will be running in 8Bit X/Y resolution. This will lost some characteristics of 16Bit scanner, such as high
precision of X/Y orientation and the smoothness of the moving trace.
Auto correction to the wrong setting:
X-L=no, Y-L=no must be set at the same time. That just one is ‘no’ is a mistake. Flame 384 checks and
corrects X-L, Y-L to be ‘no’ at the same time automatically.
Check the X/Y setting of the scanners:
Use following ways to check:
1. Press SET X/Y key, the indicating light is on. It is in setting scanner’s X/Y state.
2. Use scanner keyboard to choose scanner. Check the X/Y setting.
3. Repeat step 2 to check X/Y setting of all scanners.

The manual mode
The scanner’s channel values, such as intensity, gobo, X/Y, pattern, and color, can be set manually.
Usually, the control contents of each channel of various scanners are different. With the particular comprehension
to the control contents of each channel of various scanners, the scanner connected to the control net can be
controlled with facility. The control contents of each channel of ordinary scanners can be seen in the append
tables.
In the edit state or running state, it can be operated manually.
Manual operation is the highest priority operation. The chosen scanner will be divorced from the running scene,
Chase and environment automatically. Manual operation is the basic operation. Manual operation, especially multi
scanner manual operation, can be saved as scene, which is the basic operation of edit Chase step.
When the number indicating light is on, that scanner is in the chosen state. It can be set by CHANNELS sliders and
modulation wheels.
CHANNELS 1-24 channel sliders and modulation wheesl
The values of each channel of scanners can be set by 1-16 channel sliders. X channel of a scanner is set by
modulation wheel WX. Y channel is set by modulation wheel ST. The set range of a slider is 0-255. Whether
8bit or 16Bit X/Y scanner, the set range of a modulation wheel is 0-999. It represents the moving range of X
axis or Y axis. For 16Bit scanner, modulation wheel WX controls X-H and X-L at the same time. Modulation
wheel ST controls Y-H and Y-L at the same time. For 8Bit scanner, modulation wheel WX controls X-H only.
Modulation wheel ST controls Y-H only.
When the X/Y channel is controlled by modulation wheels, the corresponding X/Y slider is locked. The X/Y
position of a scanner must be set by modulation wheels.
In the manual mode of a scanner, slider and modulation wheel can change the value of the corresponding
channel. The screen displays the value of these channels.
When the scanner key is pressed, the X/Y current appears at the right part of the screen. Turn the modulation
wheels, the values of X/Y can be changed.
Move 1-8 channel slider, the screen displays:
Move 9-16 channel slider, the screen displays:
Note: the values of channel and X/Y depend on the slider position and the X/Y modulation wheel value. In a
moment of slider moving, the value display will disappear until the next moving.
Manual operation of single scanner
1 Press HOLD key to make the indicating light off.
2 Choose scanner: press scanner number key, the indicating light is on.
3 Use CHANNELS sliders to set the channel values, use modulation wheel WX and ST to adjust X/Y

Manual operation of the same kind multi scanners
1 Press HOLD key to make the indicating light off.
2 Choose scanner: according to the 2 step of Manual operation of single scanner, multi scanners can be
chosen. (Note: only the scanners with the same X/Y channel can be chosen at the same time.)
3 Use CHANNELS sliders to set the channel values. Use modulation wheel WX to adjust X position. Use
modulation wheel ST to adjust Y position. And the adjusted channel values are set to all chosen
scanners at the same time.
Manual operation of the different kind of multi scanners
For the manual operation of the different kind of scanners, set one kind of the scanners and make these
scanners in the hold state first. Then choose another kind of the scanners to set. This is also the usual
operation method to set 1 scene. The hold state of the scanner can be change to the choosing state by
pressing its key to make the indicating light on.
1 Press HOLD key to make the indicating light on.
2 Choose scanner: use the way of choosing single scanner or multi scanners to choose scanners. (Note:
only the scanners with the same X/Y channel can be chosen at the same time.)
3 Use CHANNELS sliders to set the channel values. Use modulation wheel WX and ST to adjust X/Y
position.
4 Press the corresponding number key of the chosen scanner to make the indicating light blink. The set
values of these scanners are in the hold state. And the adjusted channel values are set to all chosen
scanners at the same time.
5 Repeat 2-4 steps to set other scanners manually.
Cancel the manual operation of scanner
Press CLEAR key, the manual operation is canceled and the set values of the scanners can not be saved.
Scene Edit
The appropriate values of channels (such as color, intensity, pattern, X/Y, and so on) of various scanners can make
a needed light art pattern in the space-scene. Each scene is an aggregate of the set channels of the various
scanners. Flame 384 console can save 48 scanner scenes. The saved scenes can be run at any moment.
Important tips
For the simultaneous running of the multi scenes and multi Chases, the different values of the same channel
which are produced at the same time are treated by HTP Technique. So following setting is proposed:
1 For all scenes which just include pattern effect controls, such as color, pattern, and so on, the values of
X/Y, intensity, and so on are set to 0.
2 If Chase just include the controls like X/Y, intensity, and so on, the values of the other channels are set
to 0.

Process of scene edit:
1 According to the ways of manual operation, choose scanner and set the various channel values and
X/Y position.
2 Press SAVE TO SCENE key, then press scene district key and scene number key. In the end, press
ENTER / SWITCH key to confirm the save.
Example:
If you want to save the current scanner running states to A13 scene, press SAVE TO SCENE key,
then press A key in SCENE, and press 13 key, in the end, press ENTER / SWITCH key.
Tips:
Scene edit can be done at any time. After the various setting to multi scanners, if the art pattern is
what you want, just perform the above step 2. The running states of all scanners can be saved to a scene
number. For instance, using simultaneously running scene B02 and C07 as basic, choose 3 scanners
manually and set the light beam to some position, then save the combination to scene C01. So, run C01
can recur this light art pattern combination.
Copy of Scene
Example: Copy scene A01 to scene C10.
1 Press A key in SCENE, then press 1 key. Then the console run A01 scene.
2 Press SAVE TO SCENE key, press C key in SCENE, then press 10 key and
ENTER / SWITCH key.
Chase Edit
Flame 384 console can save 48 Chases.
A Chase is a buildup of some Chase steps. The concept of Chase step is very similar to the scene.
A Chase step is made up of the aggregation of each channel value of various scanners, the step time and the
graduate change parameter Cross.
The total capability of the Chase step is 1600. Each Chase can have up to 100 step. In each step of a Chase, the
step time and the gradual change parameter Cross can be set independently. The standard operating speed of a
Chase is decided by the step time and the gradual change parameter Cross of a step. The speed can be adjusted
from 1/3 to 3 times as the standard speed by SPEED slider.
Step time value
The value defines the interval time between the current to the next step. The unit is 0.1s. The changeable
range of Time is 1-600. It means that the minimum time of a step is 0.1s and the maximum is 60s.
Cross value
The value defines the time ratio of the gradual change treatment between two Chase steps. The range of the
value is 0-100%. For instance, in the current step, Time=10, Cross=60% express that the current step will use
1 second and use 40% of this 1 second as stay time, 60% as gradual change treatment time for moving to the
next step.

Process of Chase edit
1. Press EDIT CHASE Key
2. Choose the Chase number which will be
edited. For instance, if want to edit Chase
C15, press C key in CHASE, then press
15 key. if the Chase is empty, the screen
will display:
3. Press ADD key to add a step;
4. Use modulation wheel WX to change
the items, such as STEP, TIME and
CROSS. Use modulation wheel ST
to set the value of the current item.
- If current STEP xx is the last one of CHASE, the relevant character will be display as *xx.
For example: The last step of current chase is 20, the relevant character be displayed as *20.
- The scale of TIME: 1 - 600, unit is 0.1 second.
The value of TIME defines the interval between current step and next step.
- The scale of CROSS: 0 – 100%. The value of CROSS defines the proportion of TIME for fulfilling
Cross process.
For example: TIME=100, CROSS=70%, the hold time at last step=10s×(1-70%)=3s;
Residual time for transferring from last step to next step.
Total time for processing is 10s×70%=7s.
5. Set the channel values of various scanners in the current step manually. Use ENTER / SWITCH key
to change the setting state of Chase step, the various channel values of manual operating scanners,
and the setting state of X/Y.
6. Repeat step 3-5 to edit next Chase step.
7. Press EDIT CHASE key to end edit.
Tips:
When ADD key is pressed to add a Chase step, the values, such as the channel values of all
scanners, the values of TIME and CROSS are copied to the new added Chase step automatically. So
just change some items to make a new Chase step.
If the current Chase is empty, all channel values are set to 0.
In the edit state, use ENTER / SWITCH key to switch between the Chase setting state and manual
setting state, which set the various channel values and X/Y values of scanner. In different state, the
