Комплектация архитектурных светильников MH50.

В комплекте со светодиодной архитектурной подсветкой MH50 поставляется шнур питания,
Пульт управления ДМХ Мастер и сигнальный провод длиной 50 метров с разъемами
XLR для передачи сигналов управления от пульта к первому световому прибору.
Сигнальные кабели для передачи сигнала от первого прибора к каждому последующему находятся в коробке с приборами, по одному кабелю в коробке.
Светильник MH50 состоит из двух секций.
Каждая секция имеет 5 каналов управления по протоколу ДМХ-512.
Итого весь прибор управляется по десяти каналам.

Описание каналов управления MH50.

Первая секция:

  • 1 Канал управления — Яркость всех цветов.
  • 2 канал управления — Яркость Красного
  • 3 Канал — Яркость Зеленого цвета
  • 4 канал — Яркость Синего цвета
  • 5 канал — Эффекты (Мигание, выбор основных цветов и т.п.)
  • Вторая секция:

  • 6 Канал управления — Яркость всех цветов.
  • 7 канал управления — Яркость Красного
  • 8 Канал — Яркость Зеленого цвета
  • 9 канал — Яркость Синего цвета
  • 10 канал — Эффекты (Мигание, выбор основных цветов и т.п.)
  • Установка стартового адреса DMX.

    Пример установки адресации.

    На каждом приборе есть кнопки для установки стартового адреса ДМХ.
    Стартовый адрес означает, что если вы установите первый прибор адресом 001
    То он будет управляться по первым десяти каналам (из 192 возможных),
    т.е. от первого по десятый канал.

    Следующий прибор нужно установить со сдвигом на один, т.е. одиннадцатым и далее плюс десять к каждому последнему адресу.
    Для удобства программирования, в случае работы с этим пультом,
    лучше адресовать приборы через 16 адресов.
    Т.е. первый прибор имеет адрес 001, второй адресом 017, третий адресом 033 и так далее.

    Таким образом, нажимая, при программировании на кнопку Scanner 1 вы обращаетесь к первому прибору и нажимая, на клавиши Scanner 2 вы обращаетесь ко второму прибору и так далее.
    Такая адресация необходима в том случае, если все секции всех приборов будут управляться раздельно, т.е. самостоятельный выбор любого цвета в любом приборе.
    Если нужно чтобы все или группы приборов управлялись синхронно, можно установить их одинаковыми адресами.

    Подключение приборов к пульту.

    Включите питание всех приборов.
    Установите адреса приборов MH50 — 1, 17, 33, 49, 65, 81, 97, 113, 129, 145, 161, 177.
    Соедините пульт ДМХ Мастер с первым прибором MH50 сигнальным шнуром.
    Соедините первый прибор со вторым прибором перемычкой (в комплекте) и так далее все приборы соединить последовательно.
    Включите блок питания пульта ДМХ Мастер или DL100 в сеть 220 вольт.

    Программирование.

    Общие принципы программирования с помощью пульта DL100 или DMX Operator:

    Пульт имеет два режима работы.

    1) Программирование-Запись и изменение сцен и программ (Только режим «Program»).

    2) Воспроизведение сцен и программ.

    А) Воспроизведение в «Ручном режиме»
    Б) Воспроизведение в «Автоматическом режиме» с выбором скорости выполнения программы.

    режим «Program»:

    Сначала вы записываете в банк сцен (Восемь кнопок вверху пульта с надписью «Scenes») статичные сцены с выбранным цветом.
    В память пульта можно записать 240 сцен (30 банков по 8 сцен). Банки (ячейки памяти) выбираются кнопкой около дисплея с надписью Bank.

    Затем при программировании «Чейзов» = Программ, сообщаете
    Программе, какие сцены, из какого банка она должна воспроизвести.

    Программа будет воспроизводить записанные в нее сцены из банков сцен.
    Скорость работы программы изменяется в процессе воспроизведения с помощью
    переменного резистора Speed слева под дисплеем.
    Скорость перехода от сцены к сцене регулируется резистором Fade Time

    Комбинируя, положение фейдеров Speed и Fade time вы можете подобрать
    нужный вам ритм переключения приборов в процессе воспроизведения программы.

    Программирование сцен:

    После включения блока питания пульта, пульт управления находится в ручном режиме.
    Для входа в режим программирования нажмите и удерживайте нажатой три секунды клавишу Program.

    После этого должен загореться светодиод на дисплее напротив надписи Program.

    Пульт готов к программированию статичных световых картин.
    Проследите, чтобы не горел светодиод напротив надписи blackout — если светодиод горит, это значит, что на выходе пульта нет управляющего сигнала (иногда нужно чтобы выключить приборы не прерывая работу программы).

    А) Затем клавишами под надписью Scanners выберите № прибора который собираетесь программировать, в вашем случае №1. (последовательность программирования может быть любой т.е. можно взять сначала прибор №3 и т.п.).
    Теперь 8 переменных резисторов на панели управления будут управлять функциями световых приборов (приборами любого типа).
    В каждом конкретном приборе, если это не светодиодные MH50, эти переменные резисторы будут управлять тем, что заложено
    в прибор производителем.

    Итак, с помощью резисторов (движков, слайдеров, фейдеров) управления устанавливаете требуемый цвет, яркость и если надо, мигание.

    Первая секция MH50:

  • 1 Канал управления — Яркость всех цветов.
  • 2 канал управления — Яркость Красного
  • 3 Канал — Яркость Зеленого цвета
  • 4 канал — Яркость Синего цвета
  • 5 канал — Эффекты (Мигание, выбор основных цветов и т.п.)
  • Вторая секция:

  • 6 Канал управления — Яркость всех цветов.
  • 7 канал управления — Яркость Красного
  • 8 Канал — Яркость Зеленого цвета

  • (ВНИМАНИЕ! Для того чтобы перейти на вторую страницу и управлять девятым и десятым каналом, надо нажать на кнопку Page Select и перейти на вторую страницу)

  • 9 канал — Яркость Синего цвета
  • 10 канал — Эффекты (Мигание, выбор основных цветов и т.п.)
  • Вы установили нужный цвет первого прибора!

    Если Вы пишете программу, в которой первая сцена это — один прибор светит а остальные не светят, то надо сохранить эту сцену, нажав на кнопку Midi/ADD и затем на кнопку Scene 1 — т.е. сначала сообщаете пульту, что вы хотите что-то сохранить, затем указываете в какой банк (по умолчанию Bank №1 пока на запишете восемь сцен), и в какую сцену, указав номер № сцены (Жмите на клавишу с номером сцены). Пульт мигнет индикатором три раза, это значит, что сцена записана.

    Б) Затем снимите обращение, к первому прибору, нажав на клавишу с надписью Scanner 1 выбрать клавишами Scanners прибор №2 (!!не забудьте снять обращение к первому прибору!!).
    Также как и в первом случае установить нужный цвет, яркость и если надо, мигание.

    В) Затем снять обращение ко второму прибору (и не забудьте снять обращение к прибору №2), выбрать клавишами Scanners прибор №3 и выбрать нужный цвет, яркость и если нужно, мигание.

    Г) Затем выбрать прибор №4 (и не забудьте снять обращение к прибору №3).

    И так далее все приборы.

    Вы установили первую световую картину (Сцену) и для записи её в память пульта надо нажать клавишу MidiADD
    и выбрать № сцены цифровыми клавишами (расположены горизонтально в верхней части пульта под надписью SCENES-для начала нажать №1.

    Пульт мигнет всеми индикаторами три раза, значит, сцена записана в банк сцен под номером один.
    Обычно по умолчанию первые 8 сцен записывается в первый банк.
    Всего пульт имеет 30 банков по 8 сцен.

    Когда заполните первый банк (первые 8 сцен), переключитесь на 2 банк с помощью клавиш Bank+ или Bank-, там их две и они листают банки вверхвниз. И так далее.
    Номера банков сцен отображаются на дисплее (правая цифра).

    Для записи других световых сцен надо повторить шаги А-Б-В-Г — и так далее.

    Внимание! Повторение! Для сохранения статичной сцены, сначала нажмите клавишу добавить MidiADD и затем номер сцены для сохранения.

    Всего в пульте можно записать 240 сценкартин. Имеется 30 банковячеек памяти по 8 сценкартин в каждой ячейке.

    Банк сцен не обязательно должен быть заполнен до конца.
    Пишете нужное вам количество сцен!

    Структура банков сцен пульта.

                  Сцены с 1 по 8 
    Банк №1  1  2 3 4 5 6 7 8
    Банк №2  1  2 3 4 5 6 7 8
    Банк №3  1  2 3 4 5 6 7 8
    Банк №4  1  2 3 4 5 6 7 8
    Банк №5  1  2 3 4 5 6 7 8
    Банк №6  1  2 3 4 5 6 7 8
    
    ------------------------------------------------
    --      1  2 3 4 5 6 7 8
    --      1  2 3 4 5 6 7 8
    --      1  2 3 4 5 6 7 8
    Банк №30 1  2 3 4 5 6 7 8
    

    Стирание программ.

    Внимание! Перед записью программ, лучше стереть старые программы, т.к. если старые программы были длиннее чем новые, то лишние сцены не сотрутся при записи новой программы.
    Стереть программы можно в режиме программирования (Program).
    Войдите в режим «PROGRAM» нажать и удерживать нажатой три секунды кнопку «Program».
    Затем нажать и держать нажатой номер программы которую вы хотите стереть одновременно нажимая кнопку с надписью «Auto / Dell».

    После этого индикатор пульта мигнет три раза. Это говорит о том, что программа стерта.

    Проверить легко. Выйдите в режим программирования, нажимая три секунды кнопку «Program».

    После этого пульт выйдет из режима программирования. Автоматически загорится индикатор напротив надписи «Black Out».
    Нажмите на кнопку «Black Out» чтобы открыть выход пульта, затем выберите программу и нажмите кнопку «Auto / Dell». Если вы корректно стерли программу, ничего не будет происходить.

    **********************************************************************************************
    Стирая программу, вы никак не влияете на память сцен и всегда можете
    оперативно записать любую программу, используя банк сцен.
    ***********************************************************************************************

    Режим «Black Out»

    Внимание! При каждом выходе из режима программирования выходной сигнал пульта автоматически блокируется и загорается светодиод напротив надписи «Black Out» около дисплея.
    Чтобы снять блокировку, нажмите на кнопку «Black Out» и светодиод напротив надписи «Black Out» погаснет и это значит, выходной сигнал пульта поступает в приборы.
    Режим «Black Out» нужен для того, чтобы можно было остановить работу приборов на время, не останавливая работу программы.

    Запись программ.

    Световые сценыкартины можно разнообразить и сделать более динамичными или медленными, если записать их в Программы и воспроизводить в автоматическом режиме.
    Программа это набор сцен записанных в нее в определённой последовательности.
    Сцены в программу можно записывать из любого банка сцен.
    Можно повторять одну сцену некоторое количество раз и затем перейти к другой.
    Необходимо помнить, что в одну программу можно записать не более 240 сцен.
    Многократно записывая одну и ту же сцену в разные шаги программы, можно установить время смены световой картины достаточно большим (актуально для подсветки фасадов зданий и декоративного освещения внутри помещений).

    Начало написания программ.

    Не выходя из режима программирования для записи программы, выберите
    № программы, которую собираетесь писать клавишами от Chase 1 до Chase 6.
    Например, выберем Chase 1. На индикаторы отобразится (появится) номер «Чейза». Затем набираем в Чейз = Программа нужные вам сцены из банка сцен.

    Первая сцена (добавление в программу):

    А)) Для этого нажмите клавишу номера сцены, и прибор ее немедленно покажет.
    Если сцена вас устраивает, нажмите клавишу

    для записи сцены в программу.
    Если не устраивает, читайте пункт «Просмотр, редактирование сцен и Изменение сцен в банке памяти»

    Вторая сцена (добавление в программу):

    Б)) Для этого нажмите клавишу номера сцены, и прибор ее немедленно покажет.
    Если сцена вас устраивает, например сцена номер №2 из первого банка, нажмите клавишу MidiADD для записи сцены в программу.
    Если не устраивает, читайте пункт «Просмотр, редактирование сцен и Изменение сцен в банке памяти»

    Остальные сцены:

    Повторить пункт А)) и Б))
    далее номер сцены затем добавить (Midi/Add), № сцены затем добавить столько раз, сколько вам надо.
    Когда закончится первый банк сцен, можно перейти во второй банк, нажав на кнопку Bank+ или Bank-, там их две, и они листают банки вверхвниз.

    В программе сцена называется «Шаг» или «Step».
    Шагов в одном ЧейзеПрограмме может быть не более 240.
    В таком количестве шагов нет необходимости и на практике чем проще программа,
    тем лучше она смотрится.
    После добавления всех необходимых сцен в программу процесс программирования
    Надо завершить выходом из режима программирования.

    Для выхода из режима программирования нажать и удерживать 3 сек. Клавишу Program.

    Пульт имеет два режима работы.

    1> Программирование-Запись и изменение сцен и программ (режим «Program»).

    2> Просмотр сцен и Воспроизведение программ (режим «Manual»).

    А) Воспроизведение в «Ручном» режиме
    Б) Воспроизведение Сцен и Программ в «Автоматическом режиме» с выбором скорости выполнения.

    2> А) «Ручной режим» Воспроизведение Сцен.
    После включения пульта в сеть он автоматически переходит в ручной режим.

    Выберите банк ячейку клавишами Bank и нажмите № сцены, которую хотите увидеть.
    Затем выберите следующую сцену и так далее.
    Редактирование сцен только в режиме Program> !!!.
    Войти режим Program выбрать сцену клавишами SCENES.
    Для редактирования ранее созданных сцен надо выбрать прибор клавишами Scaners
    Изменять положение луча, цвет и др. у выбранного прибора. Затем просто сохраните
    изменения под тем же номером нажимая на Кл. MidiADD и затем на № сцены
    которую вы вызывали.

    Для воспроизведения из выбранного банка сценкартин в автоматическом режиме
    нажмите клавишу AutoDel для активации авто режима.
    Выберите номер ячейки памяти сцен клавишами Bank и сцены начнут автоматически воспроизводиться со скоростью паузами, на которые настроены переменные резисторы Speed (скорость программы) и Fade Time (время удержания сцены).

    Выбрать скорость воспроизведения сцен двумя способами:

    1) С помощью переменных резисторов Speed и Fade Time (один из них скорость смены картин, а другой время стояния на месте = пауза).

    2) Если три раза с одинаковыми интервалами нажать на клавишу Tap Sync, то эти интервалы будут приняты пультом за скорость воспроизведения.
    Интервалы между нажатиями могут соответствовать ритму музыкального сопровождения.
    Клавиша Tap Sync имеет приоритет над ползунковыми переменными резисторами скорости и паузы!
    Для выхода из Автоматического режима надо нажать клавишу Auto Del еще раз (Если это вам сейчас необходимо).

    <Авто Триггер и Аудио Триггер> Автомат и от Звука.

    Автоматический режим работы программы от внутреннего тактового генератора

    Войдите в автоматический режим, нажав на кнопку Auto/Dell
    Загорится индикатор возле дисплея напротив надписи Auto Trigger.

    Выберите нужную программу с помощью блока программных клавиш Chase №.
    Например, Chase №1. Программа будет воспроизводиться с выбранной скоростью.
    Выберите скорость воспроизведения вручную с помощью переменных резисторов Speed и Fade Time или с помощью клавиши Tap Sync.
    Резисторы Speed и Fade Time для максимально быстрого воспроизведения, установите Speed = 0.1 sec, Fade Time = 0
    В пульте можно записать только шесть программ.

    Все программы могут работать или по одной или последовательно в любом выбранном порядке.
    Это значит, если вы выбрали первую программу, то работает только первая программа. Если вы перед входом в режим Auto или после входа в режим «Auto», выбрали подряд две программы, то обе программы будут воспроизводиться одна после другой в закольцованном режиме.
    Если выбрать все шесть программ, то все шесть программ будут отрабатываться последовательно.
    Чтобы исключить программу из списка воспроизведения, надо еще раз нажать на кнопку с номером той программы, которую вы хотите исключить.

    В пульте имеется встроенный микрофон.
    Для перехода к режиму музыкальной активации программы, выберите номер программы кнопками Chase №.
    То что вы уже выбрали программу отобразится на дисплее — загорится номер программы напротив надписи Chase.

    Нажмите один раз кнопку Music/Bank Copy — на индикаторе появится соответствующий значок.
    Теперь если зазвучит музыка, сцены программы будут переключаться автоматически на максимальный уровень сигнала от микрофона.
    Максимальный уровень обычно имеют басовые ноты в музыкальном сопровождении.

    Если вам надо изменить сцены в каком либо банке памяти, войдите в режим программирования — нажать и держать три секунды кнопку «Program». Затем выберите банк сцен кнопками Bank.
    По умолчанию выбран банк №1. Затем выберите сцену. Можете просмотреть все сцены во всех банках и записать на бумаге те номера сцен, которые вы хотите изменить.
    Можете сразу во время просмотра, увидев неправильную сцену, изменить ее.
    Для этого последовательно обратитесь к приборам, которые участвуют в этой сцене с помощью кнопок Scanner и перемещая движки переменных резисторов, установите нужный цвет и другие функции, затем сохраните измененную сцену под старым номером, нажав на кнопку Midi / ADD.
    Т.е. сначала вход в «Program» затем просмотр сцены, нажимая кнопку с номером сцены, затем изменение, затем сохранить, нажав «Midi / Add».

    1) Если после входа в режим Авто и выбора программы, программа не воспроизводится, значит или она не записана или стерта или скорость воспроизведения установлена очень маленькая.
    2) Также проверьте, не нажата ли кнопка Black Out (горит светодиод напротив надписи Black Out возле дисплея).

    Troubleshooting

    Showtec Showdesigner 512

    This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems. If a problem occurs, carry out the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit operates properly, do not carry out following steps.

    1.

    Fixture does not respond to controller: Check the DMX-address of the fixture and the controller.

    Make sure they match. Make sure the connections are correct.

    2.

    Interference between chases; If the same channel is assigned to different running chases, the one

    with the highest channel value will be put out.

    3.

    Note: when in programming mode, as long as the LED indicator is lit, the value will be stored, even if

    the value is zero.

    4.

    Except for the channels assigned to the jog wheels and the channels set with slope, slope is not

    assigned to the other channels.

    5.

    For the master controlled channels, the master sliders are valid only when the dimmer buttons are

    activated (LED indicator is on). If some channels can’t be controlled, please check if they are

    assigned to master control.

    6.

    If the device does not operate properly, unplug the device.

    7.

    Check power from the wall, all cables, the fuse, the settings (return to default), etc.

    8.

    If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again.

    9.

    If nothing happens after 30 seconds, unplug the device.

    10.

    Return the device to your Showtec dealer.
