Using and operations (DMX512 / Art-Net™ / HTTP)
To use the Mirror Head as intended, a DMX512/Art-Net™ controller is needed with at least 14 channels.
In order to control the Mirror Head at least a 14 channel DMX Master is required.
DMX-512 controlled operation
1.
Make sure the unit is turned off.
2.
Connect the DMX XLR cable to the DMX-IN socket.
3.
Connect the power-cord so the unit turns on.
4.
Check the DMX settings in the control unit.
5.
Start sending DMX commands and check if the system reacts.
Art-Net™ controlled operation
1.
Make sure the unit is turned off.
2.
Connect the power-cord so the unit turns on.
3.
Check the DMX settings in the control unit.
4.
Check the IP address settings in the control unit.
5.
Connect the CAT cable to the control board.
6.
Start sending Art-Net™ DMX commands and check if the system reacts.
RS232 projector control
The Mirror Head control unit offers the possibility to send some basic remote control commands to the projector using the RS232 interface.
1.
Make sure the projector is turned on and accepts RS232 commands corresponding to the RS232 compatibility list in the appendix.
2.
The commands are sent to the projector whenever a specific DMX value is sent on the specific DMX channel – see DMX fixture chart.
NOTE: It is maybe necessary to insert a
DMX / XLR termination plug (with 120
Ohm) in the last unit in the link in order to
ensure proper transmission on the DMX
data link – please ask your DMX operator.
NOTE: If you change the IP address of
the unit you may have to replug the CAT
cable in order to avoid ARP / IP caching of
some intermediate switching equipment.
