WHAT IS REPORTED ON THE AC ADAPTER PLATE.
Press
POWER key to verify the correct installation.
If pressing the
POWER key no leds light up, please check if there is tension in

3.1 FIRST USE OF THE UNIT
2.4 DMX 512 OUTPUT/INPUT CONNECTION
Make sure you are using 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 XLR connector coming from the unit 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
6
2.5 EXAMPLE OF DMX 512 LINE CONNECTION
MATRIX has a DMX 512 input/output that uses standard XLR 5-pin connector The
input it is for now disabled from the software.
The cable must have shielded with these characteristics:
- 2 conductors plus screen
- 120 Ohm impedance
- low capacity
- maximum transmission rate 250 Kbaud.
For the connection do reference to the figure.
MMAATTRRIIXXis a universal DMX controller and is provided with an initial generic configuration.
For a correct operation YYOOUUMMUUSSTTconfigure the controller with the type of projec-
tors/scanner connected to it.
The
SETUP LIBRARY sheet includes the list of the projectors/scanner contained in
the internal memory of the controller, if the requested configuration is not present
in the library, you need to make a personalized one.
The operations to configure the controller is described in the user’s manual at
chapter:
10.7 Function MENU: EDIT DMX PATCH
MMAATTRRIIXXis endowed with graphic display with adjustable contrast from menù, if the
initial setting isn’t correct, it is possible to change the contrast.

Fanout key
Using the joystick the PAN and TILT channels of the
scanner’s mirror and and moving heads can be adju-
sted (Fig.8).
The joystick type is with central return, thanks to the
sophisticated software of management, it allows an
easy and exact positioning.
The mirror’s speed movement could be changed

proportional type, if you leave the joystick in central
position the mirror keeps still; whereas the more you
move it away from the centre the faster the mirror
will run.
Pressing twice the Joy speed key joystick passes directly
to the fine movement mode.
The Joy speed key led will light up to indicate the activation of this function.
Useful function for control moving heads
