Using Emphasis with Dimmer Doubling™

Dimmer Doubling is a feature of ETC Sensor dimming that enables you to use a single

dimmer and a special two-fer to control two Source Four fixtures separately, In Emphasis,

there is no convention for patching dimmers as 1A and 1B to indicate which side of the

Dimmer Doubler you are using, as was the case in previous control consoles. To patch

doubled circuits, you will need to patch the EDMX address corresponding to DMX 1-256 for

the A-side of the doublers and EDMX addresses corresponding to DMX 257-512 for the B-

side of the doublers.

If you have any questions about patching Dimmer Doubling within an Emphasis Control

System, please call ETC Technical Services (see Help from ETC Technical Services, page

3).

Note:

Dimmer Doubling is available only for ETC dimming systems operating at a nominal 115

volts, 60Hz. It is not available for systems operating at other voltages or frequencies.

Disable/Enable the Facepanel DMX Ports

If you experience problematic Facepanel behavior and you are not using the facepanel

DMX ports for data distribution, you may find improved performance by disabling those

DMX ports. This is especially true for Express facepanels and high channel count systems.

Disable/Enable the Facepanel DMX Ports:

Step 1: Power up or reboot the Facepanel.

Step 2: When the prompt appears at startup, press [1][2][3] to enter the Configuration

menu.

Step 3: Press [

v] [Enter] to view the DMX menu.

Step 4: Press [Enter] to toggle the state of the “Local DMX/EDMX Input/Output” setting

from Enabled to Disabled.

Note:

If you make an error while changing any of these settings, and you want to return to the

previously stored values, do not press

[S8]. Simply turn the facepanel power off and on

again. The previous settings will be restored.

Step 5: Press [S8] to save your settings and exit the DMX configuration screen.

Step 6: Press [S8] to save your settings and exit the main configuration screen.

Disable/Enable EDMX on Powerup and Show Read

Emphasis Control Systems typically start up and load shows with no specific cue loaded

into a fader pair, essentially sending out all zeros on the EDMX line. This may cause

undesirable behavior in systems that have suffered an unexpected or unintentional

shutdown and are using ETCNet2 DMX Nodes configured for Hold Last Look functionality.

The new “Disable EDMX on Powerup and Show Read” feature allows you to configure your

system to startup and load shows with EDMX output disabled. You can then establish the

state of your console (play back a specific cue, for example) and enable EDMX afterward.

This will cause the ETCNet2 DMX Nodes to transition to an active state without fading to

black.
