SSIGNMENTS
The DMX Manager Plus ships as a three-in/one-out merger, using highest-
level-takes-precedence (HTP). This common set-up allows a console or
remote to be plugged into the system at various locations. It also allows
multiple DMX transmitters, for example an architectural controller and a
lighting console, to operate at the same time.
Because each port can be set to either input or output, the DMX Manager Plus
can be reconfigured as a one-in/three-out opto-splitter or, when used with the
channel patching features described further below, can combine two input
universes into either one or two unique and different outputs.
To reconfigure the ports, first the direction must be set, then a universe or
channel patch must be selected. While reconfiguring, menu options are
dependent on whether the port direction is set as an input or output.
If starting from factory default settings, Port D must be reconfigured first.
The following example shows how to change the DMX Manager Plus from its
default merger configuration to a one-in, three-out splitter application.
The initial Port Status Screen looks as follows (alternating with DMX status):
Push the bottom port select button to choose Port D for editing. This is the
port properties screen:
Patch changes should be made after setting the port direction. DMX options
will be discussed later. Press the bottom port select button to select DMX
output. The screen will change to “DMX Output”. Press either or to
change the screen to “DMX Input”, then press √ to accept the change. The
screen will return to the previous menu, which will have changed:
