Indications and Procedure:

1) Divide the 512 usable DMX-Channels into Scanner and PAR Channels,
e.g. DMX-Channels 1-300 for Scanner and DMX-Channels 301-512 for
PAR.

2) Do not have double usage of DMX-Channels. There is a display
showing the used DMX-Channels in the Setup Menu Utility.

3) Scanners with different DMX- Addresses are shown one after the
other and rising in the Setup. For your own orientation you should
supply a setup-list as you can see below (There is a list for copying in
the appendix).

For example:

1) GLP Patend Light 575/1200 or Star Tec 1200
There are six Gobos at the Gobo channel on the DMX-Values 1 - 128.
From 129 - 255 it is Gobo rotation or Gobo position. It is possible to put
the six Gobos to the Gobo Keys and the Gobo rotation to SPECIAL
Key Red: Gobo.

2) GLP Max 250 HLX
On the Shutter-Channel (Channel 8) at the DMX-Values 0 - 127 are
the Shutter Frequencies, from 128 - 255 Speed is checked for Color/
Gobo. You can put the DMX-Values 0 - 127 e.g. to SPEC.4 and the
DMX-Values 128 - 255 to ROT.GOB.WH. The SPECIAL- Keys are having
the same DMX-Channel.

2.1.1 Shutter

First of all make the adjustments for the Shutter-Channel.

In this case it is only the adjustment for „Shutter open“ and „Shutter
close“. If you have got an independent scanner i.e. not over a chaser
(between open and close) you should put the DMX-Values for the
Shutter-Frequencies on a special key, e.g. Spec.4.

Channel of the scanner you have to remind this with the choice of the
new DMX-Channel.

of the new DMX-Channel.

¾ -F2- (Predef-Sc) Î „Copy predefined scanner from ROM-area“ Î

Here it is possible to copy predefined scanner from the store to a
DMX-Channel. It is also necessary to have at least one PAN-channel

These are Dimmer-Channels which stay untouched when scenes are
dissolved by fading times, i.e. the announced DMX-Value „jumps“ from
one scene to another without dissolving. Use this mode for example for
rolling color changes.

-F1- (No dimmer) Î „No dimmer list:“

There are three different possibilities for inserting channels. They can also
be used in combination.

the SD2 with the NUM-Block keys. That means the first DMX- Channel
which is corresponding to the first receiving channel (confirm with ENTER).

„Give number of used DMX channels :“ Î Enter the number of the via
the SD2 forwarded channels with the NUM-Block keys (confirm with

ENTER).

Example:

a) „Give first DMX input channel :“ Î Most channel [1] but could be also

every other channel. Set the first sending DMX-Channel of the
external DMX- Desk.

b) „Give first DMX output channel :“ Î Sets the corresponding output

DMX- Channel of the SD2. Can be every channel of the SD2.

c) „Give number of used DMX channels :“ Î Selects all addressed

channels up from the outgoing DMX- Channel. For example: Your
input channel is No.10. Your outgoing channel is No.30. Now you
select 5 used DMX- Channels (DMX 30 – 35) so the external DMX- Desk
is controlling the SD2 channels No.30 - -35.

certain functions of the scanners. For example Pan/Tilt or Color,... all
other functions are not concerned from this Effect Chaser. As opposed
to the normal Chaser you can now program chaser for each function
(not only Dimmer or Shutter). That means selective chaser for Pan/Tilt,

Effect Chaser are also put together by the DMX information from existing
scenes. There they take over only the selected DMX Channel information
from Pan/Tilt, Color, Gobo,...
