Many people have an external dimmerpack with PARs connected to; most of these people need a separate chaser to control these. That's why there is a build in chaser in the Freestyler software: DMX400.
Specifications:
- 4-6-8 channel
- Dimmer / channel
- Flash / channel
- Master dimmer
- Master flash
- Background
- Static or chaser modus
- 6 different chases
- Can be controlled by sound
- Fade time
Configuration of DMX 400:
First step is to make sure that you've configured some Pars or RGB fixtures. See add / remove fixtures
Now rightclick on the fixture you want to control with the DMX400 on channel 1 and select "Use in DMX400", Freestyler will ask you the DMX400 channel (1-8). Repeat these step for each fixture you want to control with DMX400, but always make sure it has an intensity channel or RGB channels !
The two buttons on the right are only for RGB functionality (All same color and Disable color changing)
You can use DMX 400 in two modes: Static (no animation) or chaser (animation).
Each channel has its own intensity, there is a master intensity and a background intensity (always visible).
To change chaser pattern press the "Program" button, if you want to change pattern after a certain time then press the button under the interval slider and set the desired interval.
Note: When running sequences at the same tim: the chaser only works when in a sequence the corresponding channels are set to" off". If in a sequence the same channels are marked as "Fade" or "Snap" then the sequence has priority and the DMX400 channels are ignored.
