4.3. Common Terms
The following are common terms used in intelligent light programming.
Blackout is a state by where all lighting fixtures light output are set to 0 or off, usually on a temporary basis.
DMX-512 is an industry standard digital communication protocol used in entertainment lighting equipment. For more information read Sections “12.1. DMX Introduction” at page 21 and “12.2. Building a Serial DMX Chain” at page 22 in the Appendix.
Fixture refers to your lighting instrument or other device such as a moving head or dimmer of which you can control.
Programs are a bunch of scenes stacked one after another. It can be programmed as either a single scene or multiple scenes in sequence.
Scenes are static lighting states.
Sliders, also known as faders.
Chases can also be called programs. A chase consists of a bunch of scenes stacked one after another.
Scanner refers to a lighting instrument with a Pan and Tilt mirror; however, the Scenemaker 1216 controller it can be used to control any DMX-512 compatible device as a generic fixture.
MIDI is a standard for representing musical information in a digital format. A MIDI input would provide external triggering of scenes using MIDI device such as a MIDI keyboard or sequencer.
Stand Alone refers to a fixture’s ability to function independently of an external controller and usually in sync to music, due to a built in microphone.
Fade slider is used to adjust the time between scenes within a chase.
Speed slider affects the amount of time a scene will hold its state. It is also considered a waiting time.
Shutter is a mechanical device in the lighting fixture that allows you to block the light path. It is often used to lessen the intensity of the light output and to strobe.
Patching refers to the process of assigning fixtures a DMX channel.
Playbacks can be either scenes or chases that are directly called to execution by the user. A playback can also be considered program memory that can be recalled during a show.

OPERATION GUIDE

5.1. Setting up the system

1. Connect this fixture to electric power via DC adapter.
2. Plug in DMX cable(s) to your intelligent lighting as described in the fixtures respective manual. For a quick introduction on DMX see the “12.1. DMX Introduction” at page 21 section in the Appendix of this manual.

5.2. Fixture Addressing
Scenemaker 1216 is programmed to control 16 channels of DMX per fixture, therefore the fixtures you wish to control with the corresponding “SCANNER” buttons on the unit, must be spaced 16 channels apart. Please refer to your individual fixture’s manual for DMX addressing instructions.
5.3. PAN and TILT Assignment
Because not all lighting fixtures are alike or share same control attributes, this Controller allows the user to assign the fader the correct PAN and TILT channel for every individual fixture, including 16-bit channel assignments.

1. Press and hold PROGRAM & TAP SYNC button until the led blinks. Then different DMX channel. Faders are given a channel buttons together (1) time to access the number and are labeled on the surface of the channel assignment mode.
2. Press a SCANNER button that represents the fixture you would like to set PAN & TILT movements.
3. Move one fader of 1-8 channel to select the pan channel (press page button to toggle between pages A and B).
4. Press the Tap Sync/Display button to Pan / Tilt.
5. Move again one fader of 1-8 channel to select this time Tilt channel (press page button to toggle between pages A and B).
6. Press and hold Program & TAP SYNC/DISPLAY buttons to exit and save setting. All LEDs will blink.
   NOTE: All wheels can be re-assigned to output on different DMX channels.
   You can re-assign Pan / Tilt channel to all controller fader channels.

5.4. Resetting the System
Warning: This will reset the controller to its factory defaults. This will erase all programs and settings.

1. Turn off the unit.

   NOTE: To save time, you can copy the settings of one Scanner button to another.

5.6. Fade Time Assign
You can choose whether fade time during scene execution is implemented broadly to all output channels, or only to the Pan & Tilt movement channels. This is relevant because often you will want gobos and colors to change quickly while not affecting the movement of the light.

1. Turn OFF the controller
2. Hold the BLACKOUT and TAP SYNC/DISPLAY buttons simultaneously.
3.  Turn on the controller.
4. Press the TAP SYNC/DISPLAY button to toggle between the two modes. Either all chan- nels (A) or Pan & Tilt only (P).

2. Select a SCANNER button.
3. Move faders to change fixture attributes.
4. PAGE SELECT A/B button: Use to switch between fader control of (A: Ch1~8), (B: Ch 9~16).
5. TAP SYNC/DISPLAY button: Press to toggle the output indicator on LED display between DMX values (0-255) or percentage (0-100).

NOTES: All changes made while in Manual Mode are temporary and will not be recorded.

APPENDIX

12.1. DMX Introduction

There are 512 channels in a DMX-512 connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A fixture capable of receiving DMX 512 will require one or a number of sequential channels. The user must assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller. There are many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels required.
Choosing a start address should be planned in advance. Channels should never overlap. If they do, this will result in erratic operation of the fixtures whose starting address is set incorrectly. You can however, control multiple fixtures of the same type using the same starting address as long as the intended result is that of unison movement or operation. In other words, the fixtures will be slaved together and all respond exactly the same.

12.2. Building a Serial DMX Chain
DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain connection is where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of the next fixture. The order in which the fixtures are connected is not important and has no effect on how a controller communicates to each fixture. Use an order that provides for the easiest and most direct cabling.

Connect fixtures using shielded 2-conductor twisted pair cable with 3-pin XLR male to female connectors. The shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-),  and pin 3 is Data positive (S+).

CAUTION: Wires must not come into contact with each other; otherwise the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.

12.3. DMX Terminator
DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however errors still occasionally occur. In order to prevent electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting the DMX control signals, a good habit is to connect DMX output of last fixture in the chain to a DMX terminator, especially over long signal cable runs.
The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connector with a 120Ω (ohm), 1/4 Watt resistor connected across Signal (-) and Signal (+), respectively, pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the output socket on last projector in the chain. The connections are illustrated below.

Complimentary signal cable can transmits signals to 20 unit fixtures at most. Signal amplifier is a must to connect more fixtures.

12.4. 3-Pin vs 5-Pin DMX cables
DMX connection protocols used by controllers and fixtures manufacturers are not standardized around the world. However, two are the most common standards: 5-Pin XLR and 3-Pin XLR system. If you wish to connect Scenemaker 1216 to a 5-Pin XLR input fixture, you need to use an adapter-cable or make it by yourself.
Following the wiring correspondence between 3-Pin and 5-Pin plug and socket standards
