Hi all,
I recently bought a laser: http://www.mediazero-shop.de/catalog/documents/ES-100G_en.pdf
And I also bought a DMX controller, STAIRVILLE DJ-X 16 DMX CONTROLLER, http://images.thomann.de/pics/prod/107942_manual.pdf
The problem is that I'm not able to figure out how to use it even basically. I explain my doubts and issues:
First of all, in the laser manual says that setting the switch 10 to "on" puts the device into DMX mode. Ok, I set it. Now my question is, should I set the other 1-9 switches to any other number? as long as I'm using the DMX controller I don't know if the switches are "valid" anymore , as you can see in the manual, it says that depending on the channel it does patterns, effects or speed..so no idea if setting switches will change the behavior of the DMX controller. And regarding the next question, I don't see in this DMX controller a channel selection..
The other topic regarding the switches is that my DMX controller doesn't have channel selection, so I don't know if this dmx only works for one device. Any idea about this? because in this sense, I don't know if I should select a channel in the laser and how to select it in the dmx controller.
The third question is that I managed to do "something" manually with the laser by moving the channel faders. It seems that the number one changes the pattern, but only has 3 patterns (and I know the laser has a lot more). I also try to use a combination of the Master fader but I'm not sure if this is correct or how to do it. The rest of faders move the size, and goes X and Y Axis only when a combination of settings is set (I managed it randomly and I don't know how to obtain the same...)
And, what are the "latch" buttons for? why only the top row has leds?
So basically I want to move manually the laser with the faders, not programm yet, but I don't have any idea of how to start because the DMX controller is everything but intuitive.
Any help, even the smallest one will be appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance!
