369-564a 1 10.25.11 DMX 512 Control Interface Description Allows GRAFIK EyeR lighting controls to operate lighting and other equipment that uses the DMX 512 protocol, including: - Strobes, fiber optic lighting, and LED-based lamps. - Fogger machines. - Animated characters and motorized fixtures. Converts GRAFIKR zone intensities into DMX 512 channel settings. Each zone is assigned to a DMX 512 channel. Works with GRAFIK EyeR 3000 and GRAFIK EyeR 4000 Series Control Units, as well as GRAFIK 5000T, GRAFIK 6000R, and GRAFIK 7000T Systems (see DIP switches 1 and 2). Interface does not require an address. Example of Usage A DMX 512-controlled fiber optic fixture is setup so that: Channel 5 controls color channel or dial setting. Channel 6 controls shutter open/close. The Control Unit s scenes are setup so that: Zone 5 intensity = desired fiber optic color. Zone 6 intensity = desired shutter open/close. When a scene is selected at the Control Unit: DMX 512 Interface converts new scene s zone intensities into DMX 512 channel settings. Fiber optics automatically change color and shutter open/close.
