Physical Fader Assignment
(optional setup):
- Use this feature to combine or unify fix-
ture control attributes for dierent fix-
tures. For example; if you were con-
trolling 4 moving mirrors and 4 mov-
ing yokes, the color, gobo and dimmer
channels may not line up ideally on the
physical faders. Use this function to
re-assign the dimmer, color and gobo
channels to faders 1, 2 and 3.
• From now on you will be able to control the same
attributes on all fixtures using the same fader lo-
cation. This is also most useful when needing to
combine all colors together.

channel number and are labeled on the surface
of the controller as such.

channel while in this mode.
Here is no limit to the amount of channels that
can be assigned to a single fades. One can assign
up to all 48 channels of DMX output to a single
Fader.

Asignación del fader físico
(configuración opcional)
- Utilice esta opción para combinar o uni-
ficar los atributos de control para diferentes un-
idades. Por ejemplo, si el usuario debe contro-
lar cuatro espejos móviles y cuatro cabezales
móviles, es probable que los canales de color,
gobo y dimmer no se encuentren alineados con
los faders físicos. Gracias a esta función, podrá
reasignar los canales de color, gobo y dimmer a
los faders 1, 2 y 3.
- De aquí en adelante, podrá controlar los mismos
atributos en todas las unidades con la misma
posición de fader. A su vez resultará de gran utili-
dad cuando precise combinar todos los colores.

2. Sin soltarla, presione la tecla flash #6, 3veces.
3. Presione la tecla flash a la cual desea asignarle
la salida del canal DMX.
4. Sin soltar la tecla RECORD, presione la tecla
flash correspondiente a la salida DMX a la cual
desea asignarle un fader.
5. Reitere los pasos 2 y 3 todas las veces que sean
necesarias.
6. Mantenga presionas las teclas RECORD y REC
EXIT para salir del modo actual.
Ejemplo: Si desea asignar el fader 1 a la salida del canal

sione tres veces el fader 6.
2. Presione la tecla flash 1.

Observaciones
- Todos los faders físicos pueden reasignarse para
que tengan salida por un canal DMX diferente. -
A los faders se les establece un número de canal y
se etiquetan en la superficie del controlador
como tal. Puede comprobar la asignación pre-
sionando la tecla fader del canal correspondiente
cuando esté en ese modo.
- No hay un límite para la cantidad de canales que
pueden asignarse a un fader individual. Es posi-
ble asignar los 48 canales de salida DMX a un mis
mo fader. CHNO corresponde al fader físico. SLD
NO corresponde al canal de salida DMX.
