CopyCat Console
System Overview
The CopyCat offers a simple method of recording presets for
backup or playback.
The CopyCat comes in two configurations: Consolette or Stage
Panel. Both operate in the same fashion.
Consolette Connection:
Connect the DMX-512 signal from the primary console to the
CopyCat, then connect the output signal to the dimmer bank.
Power Indicator: Shows power to the CopyCat (Green LED).
DMX Indicator: Shows incoming signal (Yellow LED).
RC Indicator: Shows remote control for console (Red LED).
Mode Switch:
Pass Thru - The incoming DMX-IN signal is the only source to
the dimmer bank.
Pile-On - The DMX console and the CopyCat are on line at
the same time in a "highest takes precedence"
operation.
Solo - The CopyCat ignores the incoming DMX signal,
and is the only source for the dimmer bank.
To Record:
Press the RECORD button and the playback button underneath
the desired handle.
To Delete a Preset:
Press RECORD with no incoming DMX signal. This will fill the
preset with zeros.
