DMX First Ch: the selected start channel.
DMX Last Ch: the selected stop channel.
Increment Ch: sets DMX channel change status.
DMX Level: sets the output DMX level.
For example, set the parameters as below:
DMX First Ch: 1
DMX Last Ch: 5
Increment Ch: 1
DMX Level: 200
When this event was triggered, the DMX level is 200 for channel 1-5.
When this event stopped, the DMX level is 0 for channel 1-5.
If set the Increment Channel as 2, when the event was triggered, the DMX level is
200 for channel 1, 3, 5; when the event stopped, the DMX level is 0 for channel 1, 3,5.
3.2) Time Trigger Event(Time)
This event enables to synchronously trigger DMX output with the external time.
This external time consists of LTC of SMPTE and MTC of MIDI.
In Time Code Configuration, the “Start” means the designated time to start and the

3) Edit Event
3.1) Real Time Clock Trigger Event(RTC)
Each event can be designated a name.
This event enables to control DMX output through the designated time.
This event contains :
a.) Weekly Event(The event will be repeated to perform every week)
b). Dately Event(the event will be performed in designated time only.)
Time: the detailed trigger timer can be accurate to second.
the designated time to start.Start:
the designated time to end.Stop:
In Weekly Event, if the start time is bigger than the end time that can carry out
the trigger over to the next day.
For example, edit a Weekly event:
Time Start: 20:30:00 Time Stop: 08:30:00
Thus, this weekly Event will start at 20:30:00 and stop at 08:30:00 of the next
