4.3.Common Terms
The following are common terms used in intelligent light programming.
Blackout is a state by where all lighting xtures light output are set to 0 or off, usually
on a temporary basis.
DMX-512 is an industry standard digital communication protocol used in entertain-
ment lighting equipment. For more information read Sections “12.1. DMX Introduction”
at page 21 and “12.2. Building a Serial DMX Chain” at page 22 in the Appendix.
Fixture refers to your lighting instrument or other device such as a moving head or
dimmer of which you can control.
Programs are a bunch of scenes stacked one after another. It can be programmed as
either a single scene or multiple scenes in sequence.
Scenes are static lighting states.
Sliders, also known as faders.
Chases can also be called programs. A chase consists of a bunch of scenes stacked one
after another.
Scanner refers to a lighting instrument with a Pan and Tilt mirror; however, the SCENE-
MAKER 1216 controller it can be used to control any DMX-512 compatible device as a
generic xture.
MIDI is a standard for representing musical information in a digital format. A MIDI
input would provide external triggering of scenes using MIDI device such as a MIDI
keyboard or sequencer.
Stand Alone refers to a xture’s ability to function independently of an external con-
troller and usually in sync to music, due to a built in microphone.
Fade slider is used to adjust the time between scenes within a chase.
Speed slider affects the amount of time a scene will hold its state. It is also considered
a waiting time.

ENGLISH
SCENEMAKER 1216 User manual

Shutter is a mechanical device in the lighting xture that allows you to block the light
path. It is often used to lessen the intensity of the light output and to strobe.
Patching refers to the process of assigning xtures a DMX channel.
Playbacks can be either scenes or chases that are directly called to execution by the
user. A playback can also be considered program memory that can be recalled during a
show.
5. OPERATION GUIDE
5.1. Setting up the system
1. Connect this xture to electric power via DC adapter.
2. Plug in DMX cable(s) to your intelligent lighting as described in the xtures respec-
tive manual. For a quick introduction on DMX see the “12.1. DMX Introduction” at
page 21 section in the Appendix of this manual.
5.2.Fixture Addressing
SCENEMAKER 1216 is programmed to control 16 channels of DMX per xture, therefore
the xtures you wish to control with the corresponding “SCANNER” buttons on the unit,
must be spaced 16 channels apart. Please refer to your individual xture’s manual for
DMX addressing instructions.
5.3.PAN and TILT Assignment
Because not all lighting xtures are alike or share same control attributes, this Con-
troller allows the user to assign the fader the correct PAN and TILT channel for every
individual xture, including 16-bit channel assignments.
1. Press and hold PROGRAM & TAP SYNC button until the led blinks. Then differ-
ent DMX channel. Faders are given a channel buttons together (1) time to access
the number and are labeled on the surface of the channel assignment mode.
2. Press a SCANNER button that represents the xture you would like to set PAN &
TILT movements.
3. Move one fader of 1-8 channel to select the pan channel (press page button to
toggle between pages A and B).
4. Press the Tap Sync/Display button to Pan / Tilt.
5. Move again one fader of 1-8 channel to select this time Tilt channel (press page
button to toggle between pages A and B).

other.
5.6.Fade Time Assign
You can choose whether fade time during scene execution is implemented broadly
to all output channels, or only to the Pan & Tilt movement channels. This is relevant
because often you will want gobos and colors to change quickly while not affecting the
movement of the light.
