myDMX 3.0 / Other Information
7.Other Information
7.1.Stand Alone*
Scenes from a myDMX 3.0 show can be transferred to a compatible DMX interface and run in Stand Alone
without a computer. *Available as an upgrade (Additional Charge)
This is useful to have as a backup, or for a small show or architectural installation where a computer is
not always required. Stand Alone features vary depending on the connected interface. For example,
some interfaces can play several scenes at the same time while others are restricted to one scene at a
time. Other features include calendar triggering and SD card memory to play larger shows. The ‘Stand
Alone’ window can be accessed from the ‘Tools’ menu.
A Stand Alone show can be created by selecting a connected Stand Alone interface from the combo box
on the right. A list of all scenes in the show appear on the left. Scenes can be assigned to Stand Alone by
dragging the corresponding scene from the left and dropping it onto the device on the right. Multi-Page
devices will show a list of pages. By dragging one scene to page A and another scene to page B, both
scenes can be played simultaneously provided they are not controlling the same channels.
Once the Stand Alone show has been built, click ‘Write’ to write the show to the device. Other buttons
include:
Read : takes the show from the device and loads it into myDMX 3.0. Note that on devices with
limited memory, only essential information is saved therefore reading the memory should only be
used if the .dvc file has been lost. For example, scene names may not be recalled.
Test : sets the DMX interface to Stand Alone mode allowing for the Stand Alone show to be tested.
Clear Memory : erases all written scenes from the memory. Note that each time the memory is
written, it is erased first and therefore it is not necessary to clear the memory before writing a new
file.
