signal from an external DMX controller.  Map the soft

ware’s DMX universes to the interface outputs 

in order to optimise the 

memory storage capacity of the controller in Stand Alone mode.  Manually choose the number of active channels for each 
DMX universe. 
 
Clock tab 
Displays the time and date of the selected interface from the list.  Modify the time and date (minutes, hours, days, months

option “restore if power off”.

 

 
When the Merge In/Out option is activated, the input from Line B (DMX-B) is analysed and combined with the interface 
output A (DMX-A), such that both DMX streams are merged in real time.

he “Select dimmer channels” option to 

choose Dimmer or RGBW channels separately to be controlled directly by 

a dimmer button or dry contacts. 
 
Master / Slave tab 
Select the Master/Slave mode when using multiple interfaces in order to synchronize their standalone mode.  Refer to each 
interface datasheet to understand the possible configurations.
