PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Rerun Architectural 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.
A basic system consists of a Rerun Architectural station and a power supply. The solid aluminum faceplate
is designed to install over a standard two gang electrical box. Single gang remote stations can be added
to remotely select shows. Connections to the Rerun Architectural are power (2 wires), DMX512 Input (3
wires) and DMX512 Output (3 wires). Power for the Rerun Architectural can be supplied from a variety
of sources, including a 10V class 2 “doorbell” transformer.
The Rerun Architectural system can work in conjunction with a lighting console, automatically switching
between recorded shows and console control. When the console generates DMX512 the Rerun
Architectural retransmits the incoming DMX512 data. Thus the console operates normally. Upon loss of
DMX512 from the console, the Rerun Architectural starts its previously active show.
Rerun also comes in a portable version (model RERUN-P) 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.
