10Scene

The GN5 and GN10 10Scene port can be used in the following configurations:

  • None

  • Scenes (Default)

  • Only Scenes

  • User Configs

  • Gateway

When set to Scenes it control the Scenes. When no 10Scene buttons are active then no Scenes are active and the GeNetix node operates normally with DMX control from a console.

When set to Only Scenes it operates like a 10Scene Store - One Scene must always be active and DMX control from a console is not supported. This is designed for installs where there is no console.

When set to User Configs, pressing the 10Scene button loads configuration 1 to 10 depending on the button pressed.

When set to Gateway the 10Scene of the Node (GN5 or GN10 only) functions like a 10Scene Gateway. From MagicQ/QuickQ it is interchangeable with a 10Scene Gateway.

This setting also controls the behaviour of 10Scene external triggers, so it is visible on all GeNetix nodes regardless of whether they have a physical 10Scene port.

GeNetix Scenes

10Scene External Control

The Scenes on the GeNetix nodes can be controlled via external protocols. The options are

  • None

  • 10Scene App

  • MIDI notes 0..9

  • ChamSys Remote Ethernet Protocol (CREP)

GeNetix only supports one Zone ID. The Zone ID supported is determined by the ChamNet ID of the GeNetix device. By default the ChamNet ID is 0 (Def) and the GeNetix will respond to 10Scene Zone 1. When the ChamNet ID is non zero then the Zone ID is the ChamNet ID.

The 10Scene App shows the names and state of the 10Scenes programmed in the GeNetix and enables Scenes to be selected. When the GeNetix node Lock Mode is set to Lock All Devices, then the PIN number of the GeNetix must be entered on the 10Scene App.

MIDI is only available on GN5 and GN10. To control a Scene send MIDI Note On for notes 0 to 9 with velocity greater than 0.

GeNetix supports the X command from ChamSys Remote Ethernet Protocol. GeNetix supports CREP with or without a header on UDP port 6553. GeNetix accepts both x and X.

Command Function

<button id> X

10Scene zone 1 button

<button id> , <state> X

10Scene zone 1 button with state

<zone id> , <button id> , <state> X

10Scene zone button with state

The 10Scene mode determines the action taken. Note that when the 10Scene mode is set to Gateway, then controlling of Scenes from the 10Scene App is not possible.

If state is not specified, then a button press and release is processed. Where state is specified, then it has the following functions:

State Function

0

Button release (this causes the Scene changes)

1

Button press

2

Activate Scene

3

Release Scene (not supported if 10Scene mode is set to Only Scenes)

4

Toggle Scene

For example to activate Scene 2 send 2X.
