Number of Dimmers

The Number of Dimmers setting adjusts the number of EDMX addresses you can patch to.

In the Emphasis Control System, all patching is made to EDMX addresses (called dimmers

within the patch at the facepanel), which are converted to standard DMX at the output

connector (see DMX Output, page 204). All Emphasis Control Systems can access all

32,767 EDMX addresses if required. However, this is usually more addresses than are

required for a typical show.

Your system will default to a setting of twice the number of dimmers as there are channels,

unless you are running a 5,000 channel system, where the dimmer count will default to the

maximum of 32,767.

CAUTION:

If after a show is patched you reduce the number of dimmers below the number

you have patched, those dimmers will become unpatched. Restoring the number

of dimmers will not automatically restore dimmers lost in the patch. It is

recommended that changes to the number of dimmers be made before you patch,

in order to avoid inadvertently unpatching dimmers.

Change the number of dimmers:

Step 1: On your Emphasis Facepanel or from the virtual facepanel in Emphasis

Visualization, press [Setup] [1] [Enter] to display the Systems Settings menu.

Step 2: Press [1] [Enter] to choose Number of Dimmers.

Step 3: Using the numeric keypad on the Facepanel or the virtual facepanel, type in the

desired number of dimmers and press [Enter].

Number of Channels

The Number of Channels setting adjusts the number of control channels you have

available. You may find that you do not need the maximum number of channels in your

system for a particular show. By setting the number of channels to a reduced number, you

reduce the number of pages of channels you might have to page through in channel and

patch displays.

If you do choose to reduce the number of channels in your system, keep in mind that

moving light fixtures and other DMX controlled devices often require more than one control

channel to operate. Make sure that you include enough channels to control these devices.

Change the number of channels:

Step 1: On your Emphasis Facepanel or from the virtual facepanel in Emphasis

Visualization, press [Setup] [1] [Enter] to display the Systems Settings menu.

Step 2: Press [2] [Enter] to choose Number of Channels.

Step 3: Using the numeric keypad on the Facepanel or the virtual facepanel, type in the

desired number of channels and press [Enter].
