Verify the contens of the packing.
If one of the following parts of the packing is missing or damaged, please,
contact your dealer immediately.

Make sure you are using a shielded twisted cables suitable for the
transmission of the DMX 512 signal with connectors of good quality and
connection as shown on the side of the connector.
Plug the 5-pin cannon connector coming from the dimmer completly in the
DMX 512 output
Use the “push” safety hook to disconnect it and than extract it gently.
ATTENTION: the shielded part of the cable must never be connected to
the ground of the electrical system as this could cause faults during the
working of the controller.

2.2 INPUT CONNECTION FOR POWER SUPPLY
Plug the connector of the ballast completly in the power input
To disconnect it, extract gently.
ATTENTION: do not use ballast different from the one supplied, it could
cause serious damages at the internal circuitation.

MAKE SURE THAT VOLTAGE AND POWER FREQUENCY CORRESPOND
TO WHAT IS REPORTED ON THE BALLAST PLATE.
The supplied ballast has a plug, therefore you should only plug it in the
socket.
Just inserted the plug in the socket and the connector to the power input, the led
on the MAN key is turn on.If this condition is not true, please check if there is
tension in the electric socket or check the connection between ballast-controller
and ballast-electric socket.
If the problem persist, please consult your dealer.

The MMAANNUUAALLfunction ((MMAANN)) is activated
pressing the
MMAANNkey. (Fig.1)
The activation of the function has signalled from the green

3.2 GRAB Function
The GGRRAABBfunction allows to memorize the state of the
channels of output ((SSCCEENNEE))in one of the 6 registers of
memory.

- Create in output the scene that you want to memorize (in any operational formality).
- Now in the outputs monitor and in output you will have a preview of the SSCCEENNEE.
- Press for over 1 second the GGRRAABBkey (Fig.2). ( the MMAANN+ SSCCEENNEElights must flash)
- On the outputs monitor comes automatically selected the register of active memory .
- Select, if different from the active one, the register of memory on which memorize the
SSCCEENNEE., through the key +and -
- Press the GGRRAABBkey (Fig.2) for confirm and conclude the copy, otherwise
another key for get out of the copy, with no modification.

press again the CCHHAASSEEkey for get out of the function.
Through the +and -key (Fig. 5) you
can regulate the speed of the cur-

The GRAB function is of fundamental importance for the progamming of the V-MIX 6;
but his use has made extremely simple.
It is main point remember that the GRAB function captures all the levels of output
and it transfers them in a register of memory; it allows to memorize the exact
present scene in output.
It’s indifferent in the way in which you have created that scene.
What comes memorized is exactly what you see on the outputs monitor and on the
stage.
