Using DMX400

Many people have an external dimmerpack with PARs connected to; most of these people need a separate chaser to control these. That's why there is a built in chaser in Freestyler called DMX400.

You can even use it with RGB LED fixtures !!!

Specifications:

- 4-6-8-12 channel - Dimmer / channel - Flash / channel - Master dimmer - Master flash - Background - Static or chaser modus - 9 different chases - Can be controlled by sound - Fade time - RGB support

Configuration of DMX 400:

First step is to make sure that you've configured some Pars or RGB fixtures. See add / remove fixtures

Now right click on the fixture you want to control with the DMX400 on channel 1 and select “Use in DMX400”, Freestyler will ask you the DMX400 channel (1-12). Repeat these step for each fixture you want to control with DMX400, but always make sure it has an intensity channel or RGB channels !

The three buttons on the right are only for RGB functionality (Disable color changing, all same color and vivid colors)

You can use DMX 400 in two modes: Static (no animation) or chaser (animation).

Each channel has its own intensity, there is a master intensity and a background intensity (always visible).

To change chaser pattern press the “Program” button, if you want to change pattern after a certain time then press the button under the interval slider and set the desired interval.

Note: When running sequences at the same time: the chaser only works when in a sequence the corresponding channels are set to“ off”. If in a sequence the same channels are marked as “Fade” or “Snap” then the sequence has priority and the DMX400 channels are ignored.
