ColorMaker T10 User Manual

Introduction
The PX-T10 is the most advanced wireless LED controller on the market today. The PX-T10 design is an accumulation of years of research and development by ColorMaker inc. The PX-T10 is a microprocessor based system that can be updated by the user as new software is developed. The hardware was designed with more memory and features we could ever use so we are only limited by our imagination.
This manual was written by the PX-T10 software developers at ColorMaker. We have tried to explain the numerous features the PX-T10 has to offer in the simplest terms possible. We understand the user will not think like a software developer and understand our technical language so we have 9am to 9pm technical support for the confused user. We have take thousands of technical calls and have a good understanding where users are most confused and have tried to explain less technical terms in this manual. All we ask is that you take the time to read and the rest will fall into place with a few phone calls.
The PX-T10 basic functions can be learned in a just a few easy steps and will cover lessons in this manual. The more complicated features can be mastered is just under an hour. As always we have 9am to 9pm technical support (407) 862-3363 and 24/7 email support Jerry@ColorMaker.net. The lessons in this manual have been written to provide the user with start up information to get up and running is just a few minutes. We will then take you into the fi xture color editing with the various functions and discuss how each function will work. This will be followed by scene control and we will teach you how to record and play scenes. The fi nal lesson will be using the ColorRoll features and how it will senselessly integrate into the controls.
