4.1 Channel Assignment
The ability to assign/patch the 8 channels of the LED Master 64 is one of its most powerful
features. This gives you the option of customising the controller to the DMX channels of your
lighting fixtures. For example: If you have a lighting fixture with the following channels:
1 – Master dimmer
2 – Red
3 – Green
4 – Blue
You can now assign/patch the controller in the following way:
Set the MASTER DIMMER fader of the controller to ‘1’
(If no dimmer channel is present, set to ‘n’)
Set the RED fader of the controller to ‘2’
Set the GREEN fader of the controller to ‘3’
Set the BLUE fader of the controller to ‘4’
Set all the remaining faders to ‘Zero’
When this has been completed the master dimmer, red, green and blue faders will now
control the fixture correctly.
Also, you will now be able to use the pre-set colours, auto chase, auto fade etc.
If the controller has been updated to V1.5 or later the user may now patch a virtual dimmer
for any fixture that does not feature its own onboard dimmer channel(i.e. 3 DMX channel
RGB fixtures).During the patch process please assign the MASTER DIMMER fader to
display ”n”, this will activate the controllers virtual dimmer function. The virtual dimmer will
then give control over intensity for all functions of control including manual colours, fades
and chases.
NOTE: If 2 or more channels are set to the same number during assignment they will flash
to indicate an error. Please ensure all channels have a different number prior to saving.
The only exception to this is ‘0’ or zero, as you can set multiple channels to zero
(no DMX output).
