DMX Hookup

an ion has dmx ports that are labelled DMX 1 and DMX 2. they default to universes 1 and 2. to make sure this hasn't been changed, go to the shell (Displays > Browser > Exit) and there to Settings > Local I/O. at the top you should see the dmx starting addresses of both ports, by default those are 1 and 513.

when in patch, select a channel and then in the CIA you should see tiles with numbers starting at 1. those are the universes. click on 2. left of it you see tiny numbers 513 to 1024. do they have a black or grey background? each number that is black is empty.

have you made sure, that you have the correct personality and mode for your LED?

and last but not least: what do you mean with Cue on the wheel? and how do you want to get channels into cues without entering them?

Good morning & thank you. I'll check through that info shortly.

 Re the wheel - If you already have q & want to take the whole thing up or down except a channel or two, can you not capture with the wheel, make the change & rerecord?

 Cheers,

Select  Active, -, 1, -, 2, Enter

Selects all active channels on the wheel except 1 & 2 (thus the minus 1, minus 2 syntax).

Alternately use Select Active, minusing out any desired channels, then give a level "@, 55, Enter".  Or Out.
