Chauvet DVM-HR Impact Driver User Manual


 
Setup
Dipswitch Settings
A DV-Wall video display matrix may consist of up to 16 drivers or 16 individual grid sections in various
pattern configurations. Each driver must be addressed according to your configuration so that the
video displayed appears whole and intact. Two internal dipswitches (JP1 & JP2) are addressed
according to your system layout and configuration.
JP1
Sets the total width one driver will display. The width can be described in either number
of panels or pixel resolution. Possible widths include 1 to 6 panels or 16 to 96 horizontal
pixels.
JP2
Sets the starting vertical line from which this driver will begin to display video. Remember
that a matrix may consist of multiple sections across, so in order to display video
correctly you will need to set the starting address for each section handled by a driver.
JP1 Dipswitch
JP1 dipswitches have their own unique
addressing method. For example setting
dipswitch 3 to ON adds 32 values to the
counter while setting 11 to ON subtracts 16.
