4.5 PERSONALITY

DMX MODE

The Sparx7 offers 3 different operating modes (see DMX protocol page 34). For using the 

full range of DMX channels use the Mode 2 - 16 BIT. Use this mode for smoother operation

with the RGBW channels. In order to operate the Sparx7 with less DMX-channels the 

DMX Mode can be set to Mode 3. In this mode the patterns running only between color

wheel and RGBW channels.

PAN/TILT

RESOLUTION

 sets pan and tilt to 8 bit or 16 bit control resolution. The default setting is

16 bit. If this fine resolution is not required, you can set to 8 bit for quicker operation of 

pan/tilt values. The 

PAN INVERS

 and 

TILT INVERS

 commands invert the direction of pan 

and tilt. 

The PAN/TILT SWAP

 command sets pan commands to tilt and vice versa.

CURVES

Dimming curves can be adjusted for the dimmer channel and the RGBW channels. There 

is a square-law curve for finer control at low intensity and coarser control at high intensity 

and a linear-law curve available. 

SHORTEST DISTANCE

This setting is only for the colour wheel channel. On 

ON

 (default) it always take the

shortest route from one colour to another in order to simulate a physical colour wheel. On 

OFF

 it routes only from white to cyan and backwards. 

DMX INPUT MODE

The

Sparx7 provides an embedded radio-DMX receiver. The receiver works with the JB-

Lighting Wireless TRX transmitter. To enable the Sparx7 to receive radio-DMX change the 

menu from 

WIRED 

(factory default) to 

WIRED/WIRELESS

. The fixture needs to be logged

-in to the Wireless TRX transmitter. To log-in press the „Start“ button (see also manual

Wireless TRX). The radio channel is displayed when the Sparx7 is logged. The main

display will show the intensity of the incoming signal. If the Sparx7 is connected either via

DMX cable and radio-DMX, the cable signal has priority.
