The DMX Generator can be installed in a standard 47mm UK-type double-gang

backbox. All cable connections are made on the rear of the product.

Connect a 15v DC power supply to the supply terminals on the back of the product.

(see p.6)

On the Mode PSU, supplied with the ColourStyle, the +wire has a white stripe on

it, and the – wire has no stripe.

ColourStyle from Mode Lighting is a fully-programmable, network-enabled DMX

control system.

It is a stand-alone product, that can be configured to produce patterns on DMX

fixtures in a few minutes, without having to use PC-based configuration software.

ColourStyle’s many features enable you to get up and running very quickly, or to

edit and create fully definable scenes, sequences and triggers in precise detail.

ColourStyle is intended for use in fixed installations, and therefore has rising-clamp

screw-terminal connections for the DMX.

The following is a summary of common DMX pin-outs on other connectors:

DDMMXXWWiirriinngg--CCoonnttiinnuueedd

ColourStyle should be connected at one end of the daisy-chain, and not in the

middle. However, the default outputs created by the QQuuiicckkSSeettuuppAAssssiissttaannttare

transmitted from both universes, and therefore it would be possible to have one

chain of DMX fixtures connected to output A, and another connected to output B.

Avoid long runs with power or high-voltage cables, as noise pickup can interfere

with the signal that reaches the DMX fixtures.

On the back of the Box are terminals for DC power, two DMX universes, and three

pairs of configurable terminals that may be used as analogue outputs or trigger

inputs..

DDMMXXWWiirriinngg

There are two separate, fully independent, DMX “Universes” on a ColourStyle. Each

has DMX +, DMX – and Screen connections via screw-terminals, as shown above.

DMX fixtures are usually wired together using a daisy-chain. The furthest device in

the chain needs to be terminated with a 120Ωresistor between DMX+and DMX-.

For a trouble-free installation it is recommended that you use good quality shielded

cable with a twisted pair for the data, with a minimum size of 24AWG.

The DMX standard suggests a maximum length of cable of 300m, before signal

repeaters are used.

DMX wiring should not be T’d off, or star-wired. ‘Y’ connections should not be used,

as they will cause degradation in the signal quality.

The ColourStyle is unusual in that you can connect multiple fixtures to one DMX

universe even if you want to control them totally independently of each other. This is

because the ColourStyle allows you to change any DMX channel level or group of

channels’ levels at a time without having to specify the levels of all the other channels.

For further details see the section on creating custom Scenes (see CD).

Using the ColourStyle looks and feels very much like using a pocket MP3 player: you

set up scenes as if they were songs, and sequences are handled much like play-lists.

You can assign Favourite looks for quick access.

Configuring the DMX Generator is performed entirely using a combination of the

scroll-wheel, the “Back” button, the “Select” button and three soft-keys.

The three pairs of con-

figurable terminals on

the rear of ColourStyle

can be configured as

either Contact Inputs or

Analogue outputs (see

page 32).

They are wired as

follows:

Up to 32 “loads” may be connected to each DMX universe. Modern DMX fixtures

do not present a full unit of “load” to the DMX output, and therefore more than 32

may be used. For example all DMX fixtures from Mode Lighting are 1/10th load, and

therefore 320 may be connected to each DMX Universe.

If you need to connect more than 32 fixtures-worth of “loads” then use a DMX

signal amplifier or booster.

3. The bottom left-button is “On/Off”, or “Mute”.

The button is red when the output has been “muted”, and all DMX channels will be

transmitted with a value of 0.

4. The three middle buttons next to the screen on the Left-Hand Side act as soft-keys.

In some menus these have special functions, which are indicated by icons on the left-

hand side:

The icon/text on the screen next to the three buttons below indicate the function of

the soft-keys (for example in the image above they are add (+) , delete (-) and Edit (!).

Some menus may not have soft-keys options, in which case the three middle buttons

do not perform any function.

Each menu has three parts: the title, the menu options, and the scroll bar. Some

menus also have up to three extra soft-key features indicated by icons on the left

hand side.

1. The top-left button, which is next to the menu title, takes the user back to the previous

menu screen from any sub-menu. This “Back” button action is uniform throughout

the system’s operation, and is just like the “Back” button on your computer’s web

browser.

When the back button is available it will illuminate orange.

2. The bottom-right button is the “Select” button, which is used to select menu

options, to tick or un-tick toggle options, or to execute commands, or to move to the

next menu. This is just like clicking on items in a computer’s web-browser.

you don’t need it then the day-to-day user interface won’t confuse users by

including the Sound-to-Light on/off switch as part of the main menu.

And that’s it!

The ColourStyle will create standard static solid colours, standard rolling-block

colours and cascading colours automatically, filling both DMX universes so that it

doesn’t matter which one has been used.

scenes at the same time), or multiple-zones

(many different fixture types with independent

control).

- To configure a single zone, press SSeelleeccttor the <✓> button.

The ColourStyle will then ask you two questions in order to configure standard

scenes and sequences, for a single zone.

quickly configure different fixture types or groups,

perhaps in different areas in a building, each with

the standard scenes for independent operation.

A zone is a group of identical fittings.

If you answered “NNoo” to configuring a single

zone system then you will be asked if you want

to configure a multi-zone system:

To configure a multi-zone system, press SSeelleecctt

or the <✓> button.

The system will start at the first zone, and will

walk you through the setup, step-by-step:

In a multi-zone system it may be more conven-

ient for you to connect different zones to differ-

ent DMX universes, you are therefore given the

option of choosing which universe the fixtures in

the zone are connected to.

ColourStyle has a built-in beat trigger system to give you a stunning lightshow, controlled

directly from your sound system.

To use sound-to light, connect a line-level audio source to the ColourStyle’s audio

input. ColourStyle detects beats, and uses them step through the current sequence.

If “Sound-to-Light” was selected during the Quick Setup Assistant then it can be

enabled and disabled by toggling button 4.

The musical notes icon changes to show whether the sound-to-light is currently

controlling sequences.

Next you will be asked to specify the DMX

channel that is used. If you are configuring sev-

next-available DMX channel, taking into

account all of the fixtures that have already

been added in previous zones.

If you need to, then use the scroll wheel to

If you are configuring another zone, then follow the on-screen instructions again.

The ColourStyle will now create scenes and sequences for each zone, as well as

“master” favourites that control all zones.
