Select the parameters to assign to the DMX channels.

Set the parameters so that the function that the VC-1-DMX controls (data type) matches the function on the DMX-compatible equipment (lighting equipment) you’re using.

When you select a data type, the setting parameter is shown that corresponds to that function.

Data type parameter

Setting parameter

Explanation

Fixed Value

Outputs a fixed value.

Value

Sets the value to output.

Master Dimmer

-

Outputs the Master Dimmer value set in “Realtime Parameter”.

Red

Green

Blue

Amber

Yellow

Purple

Cyan

White

This analyzes the video in the region specified by “Area”, and outputs the intensity of each color.

Area

Selects the video region to analyze.

For details, refer to “Area parameters”.

Ratio

Sets the ratio for the value to output in respect to the video analysis results.

MIDI (Note)





This converts the velocity values of note-on messages received by the MIDI IN connector, to be output as DMX-compatible data.

“0” is output when a note-off message is received.

Value Offset Adds the Value Offset value to the velocity value of the note-on/note-off messages received, and outputs the result.
Value Gain Multiplies the velocity value of the note-on/note-off messages received times the Value Gain value, and outputs the result.
Channel Sets which MIDI channel is used for receiving.
Note Number Sets the note number of the note-on/note-off messages received.

MIDI (CC)

This converts the control change message values received by the MIDI IN connector, to be output as DMX-compatible data.

Value Offset

Adds the Value Offset value to the control change messages received, and outputs the result.

Value Gain Multiplies the value of the control change message received times the Value Gain value, and outputs the result.
Channel Sets which MIDI channel is used for receiving.
Control Change Sets the control number for control change messages to be received.

Red (Pickup 3 Color)

Green (Pickup 3 Color)

Blue (Pickup 3 Color)

This extracts only three characteristic colors from the video region specified in “Area”, as red, green and blue.

Area

Selects the video region to analyze.

For details, refer to “Area parameters”.

Ratio

Sets the ratio for the value to output in respect to the video analysis results.

Red (Pickup 4 Color)

Green (Pickup 4 Color)

Blue (Pickup 4 Color)

White (Pickup 4 Color)

This extracts only four characteristic colors from the video region specified in “Area”, as red, green, blue and white.

Area

Selects the video region to analyze.

For details, refer to “Area parameters”.

Ratio Sets the ratio for the value to output in respect to the video analysis results.
Rotate Speed

Outputs a value corresponding to the tempo that was set (or the tempo that the VC-1-DMX detected).

Min. Speed Sets the value (minimum) that’s output when the tempo is the slowest (BPM = 20).
Max. Speed Sets the value (maximum) that’s output when the tempo is the fastest (BPM = 250).
