Preset 10 Panel

Okay guys. Kind of weird question here.

If i buy this. Would i be able to use this for 6 LED wash lights?

The manual (http://www.dfd.com/p10p.html) indicates that it can handle a full 512 address universe, so it seems like it should work fine for 6 LED wash lights.

The Preset 10 behavior is described pretty well in provided link. Since it is fading all DMX values at once and not just the intensity channels of the fixtures, it might not look right until it has completed the fade. You can record fade times as well.

You can't really record fade times as much as assign fade times to a specific button.

Also it's worthy to note that they only activate when they don't sense DMX data on the bus.

I've had this unit installed at many a school lately. It pairs extremely well with 6-8 CS4's and a CS20 board. As long as you don't exceed the 512 addresses you can put as many items as you want.

Okay. so what we plan on using this for is Special Event preset panel in an outdoor venue that doesn't have any dimmers.

We will be using 6 Pix 60 Fixtures that are all set to the same Address

So what the plan for it would be is
1 : Full White Intensity (Full Red, Full Green, Full Blue)
2 : Half White Intensity
3 : Full Red Intensity
4 : Full Green Intensity
5 : Full Blue Intensity
6 : Half Red Intensity
7 : Half Green Intensity
8 : Half Blue Intensity

Fade time doesn't matter because they would be set at the beginning of the event before people would get in there. And would stay on until the end...unless it needs to change in which case they would be able to just flip over right away.

You might want to consider the relatively new Preset 10A-POPO as it allows you to have more than one preset active at the same time (HTP).
Could possibly give a greater variety of "looks" in this application. Instead of canceling the last button when you press a new one, the
"Push On/Push Off" version lets you select any or all presets as active. Depends on how simple you want it to be, but with the LED "on" indicators for each active preset , it doesn't seem like it would confuse people too much.

Looking at the manual for it....This one looks like it's the new one that you can have more then 1 at a time

".... relatively new Preset 10A-POPO as it allows you to have more than one preset active at the same time (HTP)."
I thought I just said that.

 

[AxlD1234]

Yes. That's what i was saying....the one we are ordering is the new one that can do that

Pre10 is rugged, simple and reliable. Never have had an issue.
