4.4 PERSONALITY
DMX MODE
The A8 offers 5 different operating modes (see DMX protocol page 25). For using the full
range of DMX channels use the Standard 8 BIT or Standard 16 BIT modes. Switching 8
BIT to 16 BIT allows 16 BIT access to the RGBW channels. In order to operate the A8
with less DMX-channels the DMX Mode can be set to COMPRESSED MODE. In this
mode the channels colour macro, pan/tilt speed, effect speed and blackout move are
deactivated. With extended mode (E8) each LED string can be controlled seperately.
CAMERA MODE
For flicker free recording in TV-studios the A8 zoom offers three different modes from 50
Hertz (PAL, Secam) to 60 Hertz (NTSC). Flex mode is designed, if cameras have a
refresh frequency that makes the 50 or 60Hz settings ineffective. Access the menu
PERSONALITY, CAMERA MODE and choose the required frequency. To confirm press
“ENTER”. This can be also controlled with the control channel (channel 5) via lighting
desk.
PAN/TILT
RESOLUTION sets pan and tilt to 8 bit or 16 bit control resolution. The default setting is
16 bit. If this fine resolution is not required, you can set to 8 bit for quicker operation off
pan/tilt values. The PAN INVERS and TILT INVERS commands invert the direction of pan
and tilt. The PAN/TILT SWAP command sets pan commands to tilt and vice versa.
CURVES
Dimming curves can be adjusted for the dimmer channel and the RGBW channels. There
is a square-law curve for finer control at low intensity and coarser control at high intensity
and a linear-law curve available.
SHORTEST DISTANCE
This setting is only for the colour wheel channel. On ON (default) it always take the
shortest route from one colour to another in order to simulate a physical colour wheel. On
OFF it routes only from white to cyan and backwards.
DMX INPUT MODE
The A8 provides an embedded radio-DMX receiver. The receiver works together with the
JB-Lighting Wireless TRX transmitter. To enable the A8 to receive radio-DMX change the
menu from WIRED (factory default) to WIRED/WIRELESS. The fixture needs to be logged
-in to the Wireless TRX transmitter. To log-in press the „Start“ button (see also manual
Wireless TRX). The radio channel is displayed when the A8 is logged. The main display
will show the intensity of the incoming signal. If the A8 is connected either via DMX cable
and radio-DMX, the cable signal has priority.
