Triggering Cues Via DMX on a Smart 8

23/09/2010

The “DMX cue” mode allows pre-programmed cues to be triggered by a DMX signal acting as a “Remote Cue GO”. Three consecutive DMX addresses need to be allocated for this feature.

The first of these DMX addresses is called the DMX Base address. To trigger a cue by DMX the cue number (1 – 25) should be set in DMX base address + 3. The “GO” signal is then achieved by writing 165 decimal to the DMX base address and 90 to the DMX base address + 1. As long as these values remain in the DMX base address and the DMX base address + 1 the cue will run (until it completes). If these values are changed the “GO” signal is removed and the cue will stop running.
