V General settings
1. Starting parameters
The software has several global parameters (ethernet, audio, midi, outputs...) that are loaded at
startup. These settings can be modified by the user with the "Starting parameters" window. To open it,
go to the "Controller" menu and select "Starting parameters".
3 sections are available: Hardware, Options and Other. Here is a description of the different settings
available:
Outputs
The sofware can control up to 50 universes simultaneously depending on the version. This section
enables to patch these universes to the outputs (USB-DMX interface, IP_DMX or ethernet). Every
universe has to be linked to a single output. If you wnat to control your lights (2048 channels) with the
Art-Net protocol, you should have to specify universe #1 on PC-Ethernet 1 output, universe #2 on
PC-Ethernet 2 and so on...
DMX inputs
It is possible to connect any DMX controller to the software (depening on the version) to control some
features like SPEED, DIMMER, to start buttons or to record a sequence. 10 universes can be linked to
the sofware and must be patched in this section.
Ethernet network
The SLNETWORK feature enables to control DMX interfaces that are connecte to another computer in
the same network. This function must be enabled in this section by selecting the "Activate Network
facility" option. There is also the possibility to setup the IP address of the "slave" computer.
Protections
It is possible to enable some feature of the software or not and to protect them with a password. For
instance, this can be used in a club to have le light jockey only use the program without deleting or
programming anything. Several levels are available but you can also select the custom level and
specify which are the available functions.
Beginner mode
The sofware can be run in 2 modes: advanced and beginner. In this section, sofware restrictions can be
setup for the beginner mode. Many options (windows management, menus...) or functions (buttons
editing, cycle recording...) can be disable for the beginner mode.
