DMX in LD2000 |
|
The QM2000 board has an on-board DMX port, so you can control external devices using the QM2000. Pangolin provides an adapter cable which goes from the QM2000's DB-15 connector (DB-9 on some early boards) to a DMX-standard female 5-pin XLR connector:
Enable DMX in softwareTo use DMX output on the QM2000 board, it must first be enabled. This is done by selecting the Settings/DMX Settings menu from within LD or Showtime. The resulting screen is shown below. Note that there is only one tab because at this point, DMX is disabled.
Once you click on "Enabled for output", then two additional tabs will become visible. Output Control tabThe Output Control tab is where you select the
number of output channels you want, along with various
other output parameters that help ensure that DMX is being reliably
transmitted. TTL, AUX, and Shutter channels tabIn the TTL, Aux and Shutter channels tab, you can
route the Showtime TTL and Aux Outputs to any DMX512 channel. In
addition, you can also route the graphics shutter to a DMX channel
if desired. This is the quickest way to get up and running with DMX
on LD2000, if you have a show that you created on the older LD
(QM32) system.
