Common Terms

The following are common terms used in intelligent light programming.

Blackout is a state where all lighting fixtures’ light outputs 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 “DMX Primer” and “DMX Control Mode” in the Appendix.

Fixture refers to your lighting instrument or other device such as a fogger or dimmer which you can

control.

Programs are a number of scenes arranged one after another. It can be programmed as either a single

scene or multiple scenes in sequence.

Scenes are static lighting states.

Sliders are also known as faders.

Chases can also be called programs. A chase consists of a number of scenes arranged one after

another.

Scanner refers to a lighting instrument with a pan and tilt mirror; however DMX controllers can use this

term 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 devices such as a MIDI keyboard.

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 fade time between scenes within a chase.

Speed slider affects the amount of time a scene will hold its state. It is also considered a wait time.

Shutter is a mechanical device in the lighting fixture that allows you to block the light’s path. It is often

used to decrease the intensity of the light output and to strobe.

Patching refers to the process of assigning faders to a DMX channel within a fixture.

Playbacks can be either scenes or chases that are directly called to execution by the user. A playback

can also be considered a program memory that can be recalled during a show.

SM-8/2

Set Up and Operation

Follow the directions below, as they pertain to your preferred operation mode.

Before plugging the unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product specification

voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 120V specification product on 230V power, or vice versa.

Connect the device to the main power supply. The device can be sound-controlled as it is equipped

with a built-in microphone.

Resetting the System

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

01) Turn off the unit.

02) Press and hold down the BANK UP and AUTO/DEL buttons.

03) Switch the unit on (while still holding down the BANK UP and AUTO/DEL buttons).

04) All LEDs will blink to indicate a successful reset. This process may take up to 30 seconds.

Warning: This will reset the controller to its factory defaults.

This will erase all programs and settings.

Fixture Addressing

The SM-8/2 is programmed to control 16 DMX channels per fixture. Therefore, the fixtures you wish to

control with the corresponding FIXTURE buttons on the unit must be spaced 16 channels apart from each

other (check the respective fixture’s manual for how to enter the information into the fixture).

Note: failure to use these DMX assignments may cause a lack of control of the fixtures.

Physical Fader Assignment (optional setup)

Use this feature to combine or unify fixture control attributes for different fixtures. For example; if you were

controlling 4 moving mirrors and 4 moving yokes - the color, gobo and dimmer channels may not line up

ideally on the physical faders. Use this function to re-assign the dimmer, color and gobo channels to

faders 1, 2 and 3. From now on you will be able to control the same attributes on all fixtures using the

same fader location.

01) Press and hold down the PROGRAM & TAPSYNC buttons to access the channel assignment mode.

02) Press the SCANNER button that represents the fixture whose faders you would like to re-assign.

03) Move the SPEED fader until you arrive at controller channel (number).

04) Move the FADE TIME fader to select the DMX channel.

05) Press the MIDI/ADD button to confirm your setting.

06) Repeat steps 3-5 as often as necessary. If you wish to copy a scanner’s physical assignments to

another scanner, follow steps 7-13. If you do not wish to do this, press and hold down the PROGRAM

& TAPSYNC buttons twice, to exit mode.

Example: Copying Scanner 1 to Scanner 2

07) Press and hold down FIXTURE button # 1.

08) While holding down button # 1, press FIXTURE button # 2.

09) While holding FIXTURE buttons # 1 and # 2, press and hold down the MIDI/ADD button.

10) Release FIXTURE button # 1 first before releasing FIXTURE button # 2.

11) Release the MIDI/ADD button.

12) All FIXTURE LED indicators will flash to confirm successful copy.

13) Press and hold down the PROGRAM & TAPSYNC buttons twice, to exit mode.
