Animated Lighting Standard Channel Mapping


	Standard Channel Mapping

It's pretty easy to purchase pre-sequenced music from Animated Lighting. All you have to do is hook up all the components, sit back and watch the show. We've found the best results happen when you follow our standard channel mapping methodology. It's easy to understand and simple to adapt to your venue. We're going to help you out with 16 channel, 32 channel and 48 channel shows.

Channel Map for our Standard 16 Channel Shows.

This is a typical house. Although your home might not look just like this, you can see where the different light circuits are placed. Once you understand where things go, it's very easy to change things around based on the unique features of your home.

Now just because this house four windows on the top floor doesn't mean your house has to be built the same way. You might have only two windows upstairs and two downstairs. No problem, Just move two windows in the picture above to the downstairs windows of your house. The trick is to keep the basic groupings the same.

What does 2S mean? Second story, of course!

We recommend putting the Monster Brain in the garage and away from the harsh weather. The controller can be in a central location close to all of your light plugs. Make sure the address for the controller (we call it Controller A) is set to 0/0.

Inside your light controller is an address switch and is usually located near the top. When we say set the address to 0/0 it means the rotary switch on the left should point to 0 and the rotary switch on the right should point to 0

That's it! Here's the official Standard Mapping Cheat Sheet.
