Installation Guide

The ‘SGM C5’ requires the ‘.Net framework 4.5’ driver to work, and it must be installed in a

windows 7 or 8 system.

The application uses the ACN network protocol for outputting and does not support XLR in

the current version.

-Run the ‘SGM C5 Installer v1.1.exe’

-The installer provides the ‘.Net framework 4.5’ driver

Creating a setup

The setup consists of a few steps that must be addressed at least once. It is possible to

change the settings later as needed.

On start-up, the application will continue with the latest saved setup.

To start, click ‘Setup’in the top-left corner.

Basic setting

The ‘Basic Settings’handles saving and loading setups. Here you can also choose which

IP-address the output is sent to (ACN).

To choose an IP-address, click the ‘Output IP’ dropdown list and select your IP-address. The

IP-address must be a 2.x.x.x address.

Create a new setup

Creating a new setup will return all settings to default and remove all devices currently

connected to the application.

Saving a setup

This will prompt a save dialog. The application does not have autosave function and shutting

down the system without saving first will result in a loss of all changes.

Loading a setup

This will prompt a load dialog where you can open a saved setup. This is mainly used to

switch between setups or to import setups created by other users.

Device Setup

Here you add devices and set their DMX address and universe.

Adding Devices

Click ‘Add Device’in the menu to the left. This will open a popup, where you can select and

add devices. Select the type of device you wish to add from the ‘Device Type’ selector to the

right. The application will autosuggest a name for your device, but it is possible to give the

devices a name of your own choosing.

Clicking ‘Add Device’ will add a device to the system. Now select all the devices you wish to

add.

Setting up Devices

After adding a device, its DMX address must be set. Select a device from the list and click

‘Setup Device’ from the menu to the left. This will open a popup (Figure 4. Setup Device),

where you can select the desired universe and DMX Address. If the device does not have a

DMX address yet, the application will find the first available address in the universe and

apply it to the device. This can be redone by clicking ‘Suggest Name’. After selecting the

DMX address, it must be “set”.

Figure 3. Add Devices

There are two ways of setting the address, either with a broadcast or without a broadcast.

1. When setting an address with a broadcast, the application will broadcast the DMX

address to all the devices connected to the transmitter within the given universe.

This sets the DMX address and universe in the system for the device and it allows the

user to change the DMX address of the physical device. To do this, click the “control

button” on the device once. After broadcasting the DMX address, you must click ‘End

broadcast’ to tell the devices that the broadcasting is over.

2. When setting an address without a broadcast, the application sets the selected DMX

address and universe for the device in the system. This means that the physical

device already should be addressed.

Toggle Identifying

Clicking the ‘Toggle Identifying’ button, will toggle the identify command for the device. This

will make the device strobe in a white color if it is connected.

Time Setup

The time setup is a scheduler, where you can arrange the output of your devices. The

scheduler has a “tree structure” where the top nodes are the dates when your time split

starts. Each of these splits have week splits, where you can group the days of the week, and

each of these week splits have day splits where you setup the starting time of a day. When

setting up the output of the application, you set it up for each of the day splits in the time

management system. If this is super confusing, try starting with a single seasonal split with a

single week split and two or three-day splits (finish reading the ‘Time Setup’ section first).

Seasons

Here you split up the entire year. Each split has a start date, and will be active until it

reaches the next start date in the seasonal split.

Click ‘Add Season Split’ to add an extra split to the collection, or ‘Remove Season Split’ to

remove the selected split. There must always be at least one split in the collection.

To edit the name and start date of the split, select a split from the collection and adjust it.

Weeks

Here you setup the week for the selected season split. It is important to note that you need

to setup the week for each of your seasons.

When you have more than one week split, you can select a week split and check or uncheck

the marks of the days. Each day must be used exactly once.

Click ‘Add Week Split’to add an extra split to the collection, or ‘Remove Week Split’to

remove the selected split. There must always be at least one split in the collection.

To edit the name and days of the split, select a split from the collection and adjust it.

Days

Here you setup the day for the selected week split. It is important to note that you need to

setup the day for each of your week splits in each of your seasons.

A day split has a start time, and is active until the next day split start time is reached.

Click ‘Add Day Split’to add an extra split to the collection, or ‘Remove Day Split’to remove

the selected split. There must always be at least one split in the collection.

To edit the name, fade-in time and start time of the day split, select a split from the

collection and adjust it.
