PIRENE & 33 - 78
Important:
The DMX & MIDI protocols have different speed of data transmission, and DMX is most quick
protocol. For this, it is recommended don’t use MIDI polyphony of more of 30 notes/controllers.
In other words, don’t use more than 30 lighting channels at the same time.
The MIDI protocol has smaller resolution than the DMX protocol. In short, MIDI works with
levels (or velocities) from 0 to 127, and DMX works with levels from 0 to 255. This difference is a
loss of resolution. This loss is not important for conventional lighting, but can be a trouble in the
moving lighting.
Some MIDI equipments have special functions (pre-programmed) for the MIDI controllers from
120 to 127. To use these MIDI controllers, please, observe their use in the MIDI equipments, to
avoid behaviour undesired.
The MIDI equipments number the 128 notes/controllers from 0 to 127 or from 1 to 128.
AUTOMATIC CONTROL
When the unit is turned off:
An inner relay connects the signal in IN1 with OUT1.
USER CONTROL
The information pages show us, among others, the status of the input and output ports.
The user, using the F1-F6 keys, can deactivate any active port, at any moment.
From the first information page, use the left-right ARROWS to access to the others information

Status Page:
In case of the DMX ports, the stage page shows the numbers of received channels (input) and the
number of transmitted channels (output). An asterisk, *, can appear when the DMX input is in
fault. In case of the MIDI port (input and output), no additional information is showed. Observe
that the MIDI protocol can have no activity for long time.
