![]() 1- Arena requires a value such Playmode (0, 1, 2, 3) or Trigger Column (0 to 255)as then use Decimal.The most recent version of this document can always be found in the application folder next to the PDF version of this manual.In order to control Arena precisely, you'll need to express DMX in decimal 8-bit values (0 to 255) not percentages (0 to 100) but sometimes you might find that using percentages is easier if what you're controlling is express in percentages in Arena such as Opacity which goes from 0.0 to 1.0. Whether you use DMX Auto Map or not, make sure you look at the Resolume Arena DMX Auto Map Sheet.pdf document to understand how DMX works in Arena.Īll DMX channels are described in a separate PDF document. That decision is really up to you and should match your work flow. You could think of Arena as a a collection of independent channels you control individually or create a fixture with all the channels you want to control as a whole or create several fixtures with any group of channels you want to control as a subset. So let's say you're planning on using only a few, as I mentioned in my first post, you'll want to turn off DMX Auto Map and if it's your first time mapping DMX, make sure you remove all the DMX mappings for the Composition by pressing 'Remove All' so that you can start from scratch.Īs a disclaimer, I'm not a GrandMa2 expert but it's a light board so essentially it'll be the same as any other light board that can control moving intelligent lighting. Now, if you are only planning to use a few attribute, then you don't need to worry about that. ![]() I'm not sure how many attributes you need to control Arena using DMX but if you plan on using the DMX Auto Map, you should dedicate a full DMX universe to Resolume or you will get confusing results. (For example I map 2 columns at the dimmer value at the GMA2, for example I chose column 1 at 5% dimmer and column 2 at 10%, it reads as the same command, so when I scroll through the dimmer at up to 5%, column 2 will also trigger)ĭo any of you have a successful mapping or mapping tips that I'm missing? Maybe I'm doing this completely wrong so once again I need you help! ![]() I tried to edit the fixture image at the GMA2 with no success, then I tried what Oaktown mentioned, the DMX automap switched off and map myself.īut then I got a bit confused at how to map, for example how to choose the video at the columns at a Deck, because even though I map each column at a different value at the same category of the GMA2, it reads it as the same command. The 38 channel image was all over the place, for example the "Opacity" dial at the GMA2 controls the audio volume of the Arena. The 27 channel image works fine and accurately, but limited to some features, such as the transition speed/time. Now there are 2 images in the Grand MA2 that I needed to choose to patch Arena, 1 being the 27 channel and the other being the 38 (I forgot their names). ![]() I got it running, apparently I also needed to upgrade the firmware to get the DMX profile for the Arena 5 from the Grand MA2.įollowed all the IP stuffs and it worked well. ![]()
