JesterML Operating Manual DMX Input

DMX Input

There are three modes that the DMX Input can work in. This is set using the Setup

option DMX Input Setup:

Snapshot This is the default mode, use this mode when using the JesterML

as a backup console. The behaviour is:

1. The 48 preset channels (defined by the patch) from the DMX

Input are mixed HTP (Highest Takes Precedence) with the

local preset outputs, and do not operate in 2-Preset Mode or

control Submasters. These channels are subject to fader

levels, grand master, blackout and fade times.

2. Channels which are patched to the Fixtures are ignored – it is

recommended that when using as a backup console, that no

fixtures are patched.

3. All other channels are recorded and replayed as LTP (Latest

Takes Precedence). These channels snap onto the outputs,

and are not subject to fader levels, grand master, blackout

and fade times.

4. Recorded DMX input in memories and submasters is only

replayed when the DMX Input signal is removed. When a

DMX input signal is attached to the desk, the JesterML re-

transmits any unpatched channels from the DMX input to the

DMX output. So in order to test or use the recorded DMX

Snapshot, the DMX Input should be removed or disabled.

5. Only the first address specified in the DMX Patch is used to

extract a brightness level for the channel. Duplicate

addresses are ignored for the DMX Input.

Chans+Subs In this mode, a wing width must be set, which defines the split

between the top row of faders and the bottom row of faders. The

first <width> levels from the DMX Input are the top row, and the

next <width> levels from the DMX Input are the bottom row. The

function of the top and bottom row faders is dependant on the

desk mode:

• Preset Mode – The DMX Input can be used for 2-preset

operation, and levels are subject to the A Master and B Master

faders.

• Program Mode – The DMX Input can pick-up and reduce

channel levels, as if the faders on the remote desk (wing) were

part of the JesterML itself. Memories and submasters are not

recorded with additional LTP channels grabbed from the DMX

input, to avoid wasting storage space.

• Run Mode – The top bank of faders is paged by the Page A

button, and levels are subject to the A Master fader. The
