As the first company in the world, MediaLas announced an RGB whitelight projector late 2002, and presented the design early 2003 on Frankfurt´s Pro Light & Sound trade show. In the meantime, MediaLas sold and manufactured a large number of MultiColor systems and earned lots of experience in designing a stable and handy whitelight system.

Preparations Remove the screws of the front lid. Lift the lid and unplug the earth connector on the left power supply section of the AttaXX. Be sure to work in a dust-free ambient, so the optical section is not contaminated. Now safely store the top cover and avoid touching the output window.

Cleaning the optical surfaces Some of the optical surfaces in your AttaXX system are made for very high reflectivity, such as mirror surfaces etc. Reflectivity of more than 98% is obtained only, if the mirror surface is free of dirt or fingerprints. Also, lenses and filters depend on a clean surface for maximum efficiency.

Power source is slightly critical and has strong influence on speed and quality of the complete scanner system. Even if a standard transformer with a bridge and caps will do, MediaLas recommends a stabilized or switched power supply. The MicroAmp is able to run between +/- 20VDC to +/-30VDC, at 1.5A each.

The ILDA standard Driver is set too fast or output speed of computer is too slow. The inner circle is larger than the green square. Driver and output speed matches together. Driver is too slow or output speed of computer is too high. Readjust driver or slow down computer.

Inverting of axis By using the jumpers at the inputs, each driver can be inverted easily. This can be done during scanning also. Just pull out the jumpers and put them in at 90° rotated. Heatsinking The MicroAmps are relatively insensitive to heat, since the power stage contains a overheat shutdown.

Do not use cheap and unshielded cable. We recommend to use the MicroAmps only with MediaLas cables. These cables are tested and designed for this driver. WE do not offer any warranty, if other cables are used. If the galvos gets very hot (above 48°C / 125°F), switch off the system and check for errors or problems.
Information NetPort LAN Option NetPort enhances any laser projector to full LAN connectivity. Drive your laser projector from standard LAN line, by using CAT5 cable. No more analog ILDA signal cables are required. Additionally, NetPort offers internal memory for storing lasershow or laser animations, and replay them via DMX512 control line.
DMX-Player Function NetPort comes with a standalone player for ILDA files. The player allows playback of show sequences stored on internal SD-card by control via DMX or directly from the webinterface. Shows or sequences must be stored in ILDA-format (format 0, 1, 2, 4 or 5). Configuration of the player as well as file upload is done in the webinterface.

Frame Repeat The number of repetitions of each frame of the sequence during playback. By using this parameter, the speed of the animation can be controlled. Frame Repeat can also be controlled via DMX. Displaymode This is the playback mode of each sequence. A sequence can be run in loop mode or in a single (one shot) playback mode.
DMX Settings Select 'DMX Settings' in the 'Player' menu. You will see the actual DMX channel settings. To control the player via DMX signals, the function of the various DMX channels must be set. DMX base address This is the base address of DMX where all used channels of NetPort are staring from. Default address is 1, so all channels start from address 1.

Size (X) und Size (Y) Size control for both projection axes X and Y individual. The difference to 'Size' is that 255 is the maximum, 115-140 is minimum (10%) and values below 115 are inverting the display of the axis. This can be used to invert orientation of the projected image.
