Stand-alone operation

WARNING! Read “Safety Information” on page 3 before installing, powering, operating or servicing

the smartMAC.

This section describes how to program and run stand-alone light shows on the smartMAC without a DMX

controller. See the

 menu under “Control menu” on page 43 for a table listing stand-alone commands.

See “Effects” on page 22 for a full description of the smartMAC’s effects.

In stand-alone operation, the smartMAC can play up to

100 pre-programmed scenes continuously in a loop. A

smartMAC can either run a stand-alone show

independently, or scene changes can be synchronized

with other smartMAC fixtures.

About scenes

A stand-alone light show consists of a sequence of

scenes. Each scene is a particular lighting effect with

predetermined effects (color, gobo, etc.) and duration.

See Figure 12. Each scene has a dynamic part – the

fade – during which effects move to the scene’s

programmed positions, and a static part – the wait –

where effects do not change.

The duration of the fade and duration of the wait must

be programmed individually for each scene. The total

time it takes a scene to execute is the sum of the fade

and wait times.

Striking the lamp automatically in stand-alone operation

By default, the lamp is not powered on automatically when the smartMAC is powered on. If you want

stand-alone operation to start automatically when power is applied, you must not only activate stand-alone

operation (

 →  →  ) but also activate automatic lamp on ( →  →  ) in the

smartMAC*s control menu.

Programming stand-alone operation

To program a scene in the current stand-alone sequence:

1. In the control panel, select

→ 

2. Configure the effects in the scene in the following menus:

•

 (shutter

•

 (color)

•  (gobo selection)

•

 (gobo rotation)

•

 (focus)

•  (pan/tilt macros)

•

 (effects macros)

•

 and  (pan and tilt positions).

3. Select a fade time using  and a wait time using .

4. Store the scene in your stand-alone sequence as follows:

• Use the

 command to save the current scene as a new scene at the end of the stand-alone

sequence.

• Use the

 command to save the current scene as a new scene at the start of the stand-alone

sequence.
