JesterML Operating Manual DMX Input

Setting up the Jester24/48
• Clear the desk to defaults to ensure a 1:1 patch. (NB: if you wish to save any
old show data to USB, do this first). To clear the desk, go into Super User
(hold SHIFT and MODE for a few seconds), then select Reset Desk, select
<OK>, and confirm the warning pop-up. Once back in the main Super User
menu, hold MODE for a few seconds to leave Super User.
• Make sure the desk is in Preset Mode (hold MODE for a couple of seconds if
in Run Mode or Program Mode).
• Set all the preset faders to zero, the A Master to full, and the B Master to zero.
Raise the Grand Master to full, and ensure that Blackout is not active.
• Set the fade time and speed pots to Manual (click off).
• Press the Page B button so that 25-48 is selected and the STORE button
lights up orange.
• Make sure that the A FADERS, B STORED LED is lit, if not, press the STORE
button so that it is.
Setting up the JesterML
• Set a 1:1 patch for all 48 preset channels. This is done in the DMX Patch
menu in Setup (hold SHIFT and MODE for a few seconds to enter Setup). You
can either do this manually if you wish to keep your fixture patch addresses, or
hold down CLEAR for a few seconds to set the default patch (which will
unpatch the fixtures). To auto-patch the fixtures consecutively after the 48
preset channels, hold down SHIFT and CLEAR for a few seconds.
• Return to the main Setup menu, and scroll down to DMX Input Setup. In this
menu, set the mode to Chans+Subs, and set the Wing Width to 24.
• Return to the main Setup menu, and hold MODE for a few seconds to leave
Setup.
Testing the Setup
• Put the JesterML into Preset Mode. Set the A Master to full, and the B Master
to zero. Raise the Grand Master to full, and ensure that Blackout is not active.
• On the JesterML, press the Page B button so that the bottom LED is lit and
the STORE button lights up orange.
• On the JesterML, make sure that A FADERS, B STORED is displayed on the
main LCD, if not, press the STORE button so that it is.
• Move the channel faders on the Jester24/48 to fade the channels up and
down. The results can be seen on your dimmers, and on the monitor screen
connected to the JesterML.
• When programming, all operations are performed on the JesterML. Only the
preset faders are used on the Jester24/48.
Saving Shows
All show data is recorded on the JesterML, so save shows to a USB memory stick on
the JesterML. You may save the default setup of the Jester24/48 too if you wish, but
there is no real need since this will only contain the default 1:1 patch on that desk.
Memories & Submasters on the JesterML will include the preset channels recorded
from the Jester24/48. Other channels from the DMX Input are ignored and not
recorded – in this simple setup these will all be at zero anyhow.
