PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Rerun Portable is a lighting control station capable of storing up to ten 40-minute shows. Shows are
recorded by capturing the output of a DMX512 console. The recorded show start and end points may be
trimmed non-destructively. Each show can be set to hold the last look, loop to itself or link to another show.
Shows are started by pressing one of the ten show buttons.

The Rerun Portable is housed within a rugged Pelican™ water resistant case. Just under the clear case lid are
the DMX512 input and keypad. The DMX512 out and attached wall transformer power supply connections pass
through the case on liquid tight strain reliefs.

The Rerun Portable system can work in conjunction with a lighting console, automatically switching between
recorded shows and console control. When the console generates DMX512 the Rerun Portable retransmits the
incoming DMX512 data. Upon loss of DMX512 from the console, the Rerun Portable starts its previous show.

Rerun also comes in an architectural version (model RERUN-A) and a rack mount version (model RERUN-R?)
The Rerun Architectural and Rerun Portable units can support one universe of DMX512 data. The rack mount
version can be built to support multiple universes of DMX512. Substitute the number of universes in place of
the question mark in the model number for the rack mount version. As many as four universes can be supported
in a single 1U chassis. Additional universes can be supported in the rack mount version using expansion units.

SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

The Rerun Portable should be installed between the console and DMX512 receiving devices. Typically, it
should be within arms length of the console operator.

Remove the cable connected to the output of the console. Use a short DMX512 cable to connect the output of
the console to the DMX512 input of the Rerun Portable. Connect the cable that was originally connected to the
console to the DMX512 output connector of the Rerun Portable . This inserts the Rerun Portable into the
DMX512 signal path.

Plug the Rerun Portable power supply into mains power.

Note:

! DMX512 from a console will not pass through if the Rerun Architectural is not powered .

RERUN PORTABLE FACEPLATE CONFIGURATION

Each Rerun Portable has six jumpers, JP1 through JP6, that select different modes of operation. The factory
default is to have all jumpers installed.

JP1 Record Lockout - When removed, the [RECORD] button is disabled and show editing is disabled. When

installed, recording of shows is enabled.

JP2 Hold Last Look - When removed, upon the loss of signal the last valid input is held on the output. When

installed, upon the loss of signal the last active show is started.

JP3 Hardware Test - Rerun Portable enters a hardware test mode when this jumper is removed.

JP4 Leave installed. This jumper is only removed for factory use.

JP5 When installed, incoming DMX512 signals will override the Rerun Portable levels and all shows will be

locked out. When removed, incoming levels will be combined with those of the active show on the Rerun
Portable in a highest-takes-precedence (HTP) fashion.

JP6 CF Card initialize - When removed, the memory card is erased. Use with CAUTION!
