8 - Setup functions

By means of the Setup menu, accessed by pressing the button, access is gained to the

Studio 12 Scan Control’s numerous functions.

8.1 - Addressing light channels

This function has two fundamental aims: deciding which are the DMX channels corresponding to

the faders in the dimmer channel section and also carrying out multiple patches.

As already said, patching procedure allows to assign the control of DMX channel n to a given

fader. Scan Control allows to link several DMX channels to one fader, so the fader chosen will

control channels n1, n150, n320…

This is very important when operating (for example) in television (broadcasting) applications, in

which quantities of channels are used to create the background white light.

Once access is gained to Setup, the following appears on the display:

For access to these settings, just press the right-hand arrow of the SCROLL buttons (on the right

of the display):

DMX-CH indicates the “physical” dimmer channel of the DMX chain (from 1 to 512); CHANNEL

indicates which dimmer channel on the desk will control the chosen channel or channels; LIM%

indicates any attenuation on that channel; EQUAL indicates the equalization curve allocated to the

channel.

Pressing the dark grey button under the display corresponding to <DEL>, settings carried out are

cancelled.

8.1.1 - Equalization curves

Use of the equalization curve optimizes luminous output when using fixtures with different types

of lamps (e.g. theatrical fixtures and PAR 64).

There are 6 curves (from 1 to 6), linear output (N° 7) and the On/Off step (N°8), which has the

following reference values:

000 ÷ 127 = off

128 ÷ 255 = on.

8.2 - Addressing the fixtures

In the same way as the Light Channels, the units in the Scan Control section must be addressed.

Access to this function is gained using this menu:

Pressing the right arrow of the SCROLL buttons, access is gained to the setting menu:

CONFIGURATION & SET UP

SELECT --> [UNIT PATCH ] ok->

[001] <---- -- --- - <DEL>
