Introduction
The OPTIMA-DS is a 16-pattern, DMX-512 chaser/cross-fader logic
controller. The number of channels can be set to any value from 3 to 8 using
a rotary slector on the back of the unit. Maximum and minimum level
adjustment masters are provided with individual control for the first 4
channels. When operating as a chaser, The OPTIMA-DS switches its
outputs between maximum and minimum levels. When cross-fading, the
outputs gradually ramp from one level to the next.
The OPTIMA-DS has simple to use push-button controls with LED
indicators. Following is a description of the buttons and the various functions
they perform.

he Control Panel
A -
Dual Button Controls
The following four pairs of up/down control buttons are used to select the
chase (or fade) pattern, the chase (or fade) rate and to set the minimum
and maximum master levels. Momentarily pressing and releasing a button
causes the associated value to increment (decrement) in single steps.
Pressing and holding a button causes a more rapid variation that stops
when the button is released.
1- MODE (Up-Down Buttons)
The "MODE" up-button increments the pattern number from 1
to 16. Its associated LED turns on when pattern number 16 is
reached. The "MODE" down-button performs the reverse
operation and its associated LED turns on when pattern
number 1 is reached.
3- MAX. LEVEL (Up-Down Buttons)
The "MAX. LEVEL" up-button is used to gradually increase
the maximum master level up to 100%. Its associated LED
turns on when 100% is reached. The "MAX. LEVEL" down-
button performs the reverse operation and its associted LED
turns on when 0% is reached.
B -
Single Button Toggle Controls
The following four buttons work as toggles. They turn the function on, if previously off, and turn it off, if previously on.
1 - FADE SELECT
If the fade mode had been previously selected, depressing the Fade
Select button switches the OPTIMA DS to the chase mode and vice-
versa. The associated LED turns on when the selected mode is fade.
2 - AUTO SELECT
Selecting the AUTO mode causes the OPTIMA-DS to automatically
scroll through all 16 chase patterns. Otherwise, the same pattern
repeats unless changed using the MODE up/down buttons. The
associated LED is on when Auto is selected.
3 - STOP SELECT
Selecting the STOP mode stops the chasing and fading cycles and
causes all channels to go into a static mode. The OPTIMA-DS
effectively becomes a simple DMX console with 4 individually
dimmable channels, using DIM1 to DIM4 buttons, and a MAX. LEVEL
master. The LED associated with the STOP button turns on to indicate
that the OPTIMA-DS is operating in a static dimmer mode.

2- RUN RATE (Up-Down Buttons)
The "RUN RATE" up-button increments the chase speed from 1 to
255. Its associated LED turns on when the speed reaches a
maximum of 255. The "RUN RATE" down-button performs the
reverse operation and its associated LED turns on when the
speed reaches a minimum of 1.
4- MIN. LEVEL (Up-Down Buttons)
The "MIN. LEVEL" up-button is used to gradually increase the
minimum master level up to 100%. Its associated LED turns on
when 100% is reached. The "MIN. LEVEL" down-button performs
the reverse operation and its associted LED turns on when 0% is
reached. The minimum level is used to prevent the outputs from
completely turning off. This feature creates a very attractive
special effect to lighting displays.
4 - BLKOUT SELECT
When selected, the associated LED turns on. All channels are blacked
out and go to 0% intensity.
C -
DIMMER buttons
DIM1-DIM4
The individual levels of the outputs can be adjusted to any level
between 0% and 100%, using the DIM buttons in conjunction
with the maximum master control. Each DIM button performs
Raise and Lower functions alternately. Pushing and holding a
button causes the level of the corresponding output to vary in
one direction. Releasing the button and pressing again causes
the output level to vary in the reverse direction.
The LED's above the DIM buttons indicate the output status of
the first four channels.
