Connection to Relay
The S-PLAY MINI is equipped with a set of relays designed for use with low power devices and to
provide switching logic for higher power contactors.
To ensure a safe installation it is imperative that the power connected to the S-PLAY MINI’s relays is
within their operating limits.
The S-PLAY MINI’s relay specifications are as follows:
To calculate to total power your circuit will pass through the relay, multiply the circuit voltage by the
current you intend to pass through it. This value must be lower than 60W. In other words, Voltage x
Current ≤ 60W.
If your application requires main power switching or high current applications, ENTTEC recommends
the use of a DMX switch pack controlled by the S-PLAY MINI’s DMX output or wire the S-PLAY MINI’s
relay outputs to connect to the primary coil of a DIN mount high powered relay or contactor.
Connection to Digital Inputs
The S-PLAY MINI’s digital inputs detect circuit completion to the S-PLAY MINI’s ‘GND’ (V- terminal) to
send triggers.
The maximum resistance of a cable that can be used to connect to a Digital Input to the S-PLAY
MINI’s GND is 20 Ohms.
ENTTEC recommends a total maximum wire length of 100m. (50m total distance from the S-PLAY
MINI in a loop).
The longer the cable, the higher its capacitance and likelihood of interference from EMF (Electro
Magnetic Interference).
To ensure a reliable trigger when creating a system, contact should be made for 3 seconds
when triggering a digital input.
Note: Always run digital input cabling away from main power or high sources of EMI (i.e. air
conditioning units) to reduce interference.
If you require a remote input trigger further away from the S-PLAY MINI than 50m, ENTTEC recommend
the use of a 3rd party GPIO interface that can communicate with the S-PLAY MINI’s other triggering
methods over a network.

Network Discovery
The S-PLAY NINI has DHCP IP address enabled by default.
DHCP: When DHCP is enabled, and the S-PLAY MINI is on a network with a DHCP server, it requests an
IP address on power-up. If the DHCP server is slow or absent, the S-PLAY MINI falls back to the default
IP address: 192.168.0.10 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.
Static IP: When DHCP is disabled, the default Static IP becomes the communication address. Adjust
network settings, including Static or DHCP, Netmask, and Gateway within the Settings page on the SPLAY MINI’s web interface. Remember to note the changed Static IP after modification in the web
interface.
Note:
When configuring multiple devices on a Static network, ENTTEC recommends connecting one device at
a time to the network and configuring a unique IP to avoid IP conflicts.
When the S-PLAY MINI is set to a static IP, the default gateway MUST be the same for both the S-PLAY
MINI and your computer for EMU to discover the S-PLAY MINI.

• Art-Net, sACN, DMX triggers start when a value is received that is equal or above the
‘Trigger Level’. It will then stop when the value drops below.
• Digital Input: when configured as ‘Activate on Break’ - Recording starts when the
connection between the Digital input port and GND is broken and stops when the
connection is made. This is reversed when set to ‘Activate on Make’.
• Button: Reset/Trigger button on the device can be set to trigger the recording on press or
release.
7. Toggle Live Preview on to send the recorded data to your fixtures of your
S-PLAY’s outputs as defined on the Settings page.
8. If you are recording looped content, enable Perfect Loop to allow the S-
PLAY to automatically stop recording when it detects a loop by matching
the incoming frames with the first 10 frames of the recording.
9. Once the recording is initiated, the timer in the top right of the window will start running as soon
as data begins to be captured. The DMX values captured will be shown for their corresponding
channels.
Recording Tips: During Art-Net or sACN recording, when utilizing the 'live preview' function, it is
crucial to ensure that no other active Art-Net/sACN device is outputting on the same universes that
are being recorded (including the S-PLAY itself). This precaution eliminates the possibility of
interference loopback, which can result in erratic or inaccurate recordings. To adjust the output
settings of your S-PLAY, navigate to the Settings page.
When recording live generated content, Perfect Loop may have inconsistent results due to the
dynamic nature of the live content generation, where the exact same 10 frames may not always be
generated.

Effects
Effects in the S-PLAY MINI rely on a gradient, which makes it perfect whether fine-tuning a multitude
of single channel dimmers or RGB/RGBW lights in 16 or 8bit variants. To create an Effect, press the
green icon and select Effect as the cue type to open the Effect editor window:
1. Firstly, provide a cue name to aid identification.
2. If you wish to view the output live whilst creating your effect, press the preview button at the top
left of the interface to send the recorded data to your fixtures of your S-PLAY’s outputs as defined
on the Settings page.
3. In the Fixture Control section, users can define the LED type that the effect will reference and set
the LED start address for the initial fixture (i.e., the DMX Start address of your first fixture). The
Address Offset, referring to the required channel for the fixture, will be automatically populated.
For example, if you have an 8-channel fixture where the first channels are intensity and strobe,
and color begins from channel 3, you can set your address offset as 8 and the LED start channel
as 3.
This configuration ensures that the effect will play every 8 channels, starting from the 3rd channel.
4. The Effect Start Channel defines the position (phase) where the the gradient will apply. The
Number of Fixtures sets the number of the LEDs which will be included within the effect. By
inverting the gradient direction after every defined number of fixtures, the Invert Every X Fixtures
allows the creation of a grid of fixtures showing in a non-linear fashion (perfect for pixel tape
projects!).
5. By clicking on the gradient graphic, the user can modify and define the gradient colour at any
point. Each colour point can be dragged to a position to create preferable effect. A maximum of 8
colours can be created for a Effect Cue in S-PLAY MINI. In order to create for smooth loops,
ensure the beginning and end colour of the Effect are the same. The exact range of fixtures that
the color point in the gradient graphic will affect can be counted based on Number of Fixtures
and Position (%).
6. This look can be saved as it is, or a speed and direction can be defined using the slider. (We
strongly recommend using the preview option whilst doing this to ensure all is as you expect in
the real world).
7. Use the toggle switches below the gradient to define the universes that the effect will occupy.
This is useful when layering effects or overlapping with other groups. Any universes which are not
enabled will be set 0 values on each channel.

Event and Trigger Tracks
These tracks are specifically designated for events and triggers. The vertical line indicates the precise
timing at which the playlist will either pause until the trigger becomes active or execute the event.
When triggers are used, the playlist will pause and maintain the last output value. To resume playback,
simply activate the selected trigger or press the play button again.
Example Playlist
In this example, a playlist named "Playlist A" is created. It is set to automatically start playing on
power up and will loop indefinitely (Play Count: Infinity).
Within the playlist, there is an Effect Cue labelled "c" that will play while simultaneously triggering an
UDP Event (UET). At the 3-second mark, the playlist will pause and wait for a digital input trigger (G1)
to be received before resuming the playback of the effect, which will continue until the 7-second mark.
The playlist will then proceed to send additional Events and wait for triggers as specified. Upon
reaching the end of the playlist, it will loop back and replay the sequence.

Storage & Calculating Requirements
Static Cue
Snapshots are comprised of a single DMX frame. The maximum file size of a frame of one universe
with associated metadata is 518 bytes.
To calculate the theoretical file size of a static cue, multiply 518bytes by the quantity of universes you
intend to capture as part of the static cue. This calculation will give a file size in bytes.
Dynamic Cue
A dynamic cue can be thought of as a stream of Static Cues. To calculate the theoretical file size of a
Dynamic Cue the size of a single 1 universe DMX frame (518 bytes) should be multiplied by the
quantity of universes being captured, the quantity of frames being recorded per second and duration
of recording (in seconds).
Triggers & Events
Triggers and Events each have a maximum file size of 1Kb (1000bytes). To calculate the theoretical
storage size all Triggers and Events your configuration will occupy, multiply the total quantity of
Triggers and Events you will use by 1Kb.
((518 bytes) * (Quantity of Universes to be captured)) = Static Cue Size (bytes)
((518 bytes) * (Quantity of Universes) * (Frames per Second [produced by the DMX source]) *
(Intended Recording Length [seconds])) = Dynamic Cue Size (bytes)
((1000 bytes) * (Quantity of Triggers and Events)) = Total Trigger and Event Size (bytes)

Lock Feature
S-PLAY MINI includes a locking system to prevent settings, playlists, and cues from being modified.
By default, the S-PLAY MINI is unlocked, allowing any computer within the network to modify settings,
create cues, generate playlists, and trigger playlist actions.
Sign in to access this feature using default login details provided in this document. To lock the unit,
simply click on the padlock located in the top right-hand corner of the user interface. When not
signed in, the unit will display only the home page with all the functional tabs hidden.
When the S-PLAY MINI is locked, users can:
Access to the custom interface.
Play and Stop any/all playlist.
Adjust playlist intensity
To unlock full functionality the user account must be logged in.
When a user is logged in, the unit can remain locked for the rest of the users accessing from other
locations/browsers on the network. However, the unit will ensure that only one browser is open at the
same time when accessing "Home", "Cue Library" and/or "Playlist Page". This is to avoid having
conflicting commands that can jeopardise any part of the recording process.
To unlock the S-PLAY MINI, simply click on the padlock icon on the top right corner of the web
interface.

Servicing, Inspection & Maintenance
The device has no user serviceable parts. If your installation has become damaged, parts
should be replaced.
Power down the device and ensure a method is in place to stop the system from becoming
energised during servicing, inspection & maintenance.
Key areas to examine during inspection:
Ensure all connectors are mated securely and show no sign of damage or corrosion.
Ensure all cabling has not obtained physical damage or been crushed.
Check for dust or dirt build up on the device and schedule cleaning if necessary.
Dirt or dust buildup can limit the ability for a device to dissipate heat and can lead to damage.
The replacement device should be installed in accordance with all steps within the installation guide.
To order replacement devices or accessories contact your reseller or message ENTTEC directly.
Cleaning
Dust and dirt build up can limit the ability for the device to dissipate heat resulting in damage. It’s
important that the device is cleaned in a schedule fit for the environment it is installed within to
ensure maximum product longevity.
Cleaning schedules will vary greatly depending on the operating environment. Generally, the more
extreme the environment, the shorter the interval between cleaning.
Before cleaning, power down your system and ensure a method is in place to stop the system
from becoming energised until cleaning is complete.
Do not use abrasive, corrosive, or solvent-based cleaning products on this device.
Do not spray device or accessories. The device is an IP20 product.
To clean an ENTTEC device, use low-pressure compressed air to remove dust, dirt and loose particles.
If deemed necessary, wipe the device with a damp microfiber cloth.
A selection of environmental factors that may increase the need for frequent cleaning include:
Use of stage fog, smoke or atmospheric devices.
High airflow rates (i.e., in close proximity to air conditioning vents).
High pollution levels or cigarette smoke.
Airborne dust (from building work, the natural environment or pyrotechnic effects).
If any of these factors are present, inspect all elements of the system soon after installation to see
whether cleaning is necessary, then check again at frequent intervals. This procedure will allow you to
determine a reliable cleaning schedule for your installation.
