Detailed Instructions:

1. Uploading Files:
   • First, select the devices you wish to control centrally.
   • Choose the required files and upload them to the corresponding device directories.
   • Click on ‘Start Transfer’ to initiate the file transfer process.
   • During the transfer, no operations other than ‘Stop Transfer’ are allowed to ensure the integrity and completion of the file upload.
2. Creating Programs:
   • Ensure that the program file names correspond to files located within the device’s video folder directory, and be mindful of case sensitivity.
   • Separate multiple files with a ‘#’ symbol, for example: `play001.ssv#play002.ssv`.
   • Enter the desired sequence numbers for the programs and provide a name for the program; if left blank, the default original program name will be used.
   • Choose between ‘Overwrite’: to replace the previous program with the same name, leaving only one program, or ‘Append’: to allow multiple programs with the same name.
   • Click ‘Start Creating Program’ to proceed.
   • If the ‘Auto Create Program’ option is selected, the system will automatically create the program based on the settings after the files have been transferred.
3. Setting Wiring:
   • Ensure that the wiring file names correspond to files located within the device’s wiring folder directory, and be mindful of case sensitivity.
   • Click on ‘Set Wiring’ to proceed with the configuration.
4. Centralized Control:
   • Control the play and stop of programs.
   • Enter the desired program sequence number to switch to.
   • Adjust the playback brightness.
   • Modify the playback speed.
   • Modify the timing mode (default is not to send).
   • Modify the synchronization mode (default is not to send).
   • Click ‘Switch’ to complete the centralized control actions.
   • Clean Up Excess Playback Files’: This option clears Ssv-format files in the video folder directory that are not part of any program.
5. Refresh:
   • Set the refresh interval (in seconds, denoted as “S”).
   • Click ‘Refresh’ to view the device status, which includes the playback status, current program being played, number of subordinate devices online, speed, brightness, wiring, and the last refresh time.
   • You can also select ‘Auto Refresh’ to have the system automatically update the device status at the specified interval.
6. DMX Chip Addressing:
   After selecting the devices, choose the chip name, starting address of the first fixture (often referred to as the “first channel” or “DMX start address”), the number of channels, and the number of fixtures to perform centralized writing of fixture addresses. This process allows for the configuration of DMX addresses for lighting fixtures in a coordinated manner across selected devices
