S-PLAY –User Manual

Record, Edit and Playback up to 32 Universes using Art-Net/sACN or 2 Universes using the two built in

DMX ports with an all-in-one show recorder.

ENTTEC’s S-PLAY is a highly accurate, 32 universes

lighting record and playback controller.

Capture or create static scenes or record dynamic

cues from up to 32 universes of Art-Net, sACN or 2

universes of DMX. The built-in pixel effects

generator provides an intuitive tool to create the

desired look to be output to your pixel controller.

Using either RS232, Art-Net, DMX, Digital Inputs,

Relays, sACN, UDP or OSC; send commands to

external devices or receive triggers the device allows

external devices to fully integrate the S-PLAY into

the installation.

Using the intuitive drag and drop timelines system,

build playlists using cues, events and triggers as

building blocks. Control the number of play counts,

priority, fade times and master intensities to fine

tune your playlists.

Build schedules of playlists to play at certain times

of the day or utilize external triggers to allow

multiple playlists to ruin over the top of each other

at the same time with different groups and

priorities.

Safety

Ensure you are familiarized with all key information within this guide and other relevant ENTTEC

documentation before specifying, installing, or operating an ENTTEC device. If you are in any doubt about

system safety, or you plan to install ENTTEC device in a configuration that is not covered within this guide,

contact ENTTEC or your ENTTEC supplier for assistance.

ENTTEC’s return to base warranty for this product does not cover damage caused by inappropriate use,

application, or modification to the product.

Electrical safety

This product must be installed in accordance with applicable national and local electrical and

construction codes by a person familiar with the construction and operation of the product and the

hazards involved. Failure to comply with the following installation instructions may result in death or

serious injury.

Do not exceed the ratings and limitations defined in the product datasheet or this document. Exceeding

can cause damage to the device, risk of fire and electrical faults.

Ensure that no part of the installation is or can be connected to power until all connections and work

is complete.

Before applying power to your installation, ensure your installation follows the guidance within this

document. Including checking that all power distribution equipment and cables are in perfect condition

and rated for the current requirements of all connected devices and factor in overhead and verify that

it is appropriately fused and voltage is compatible.

Remove power from your installation immediately if accessories power cables or connectors is in any

way damaged, defective, shows signs of overheating or are wet.

Provide a means of locking out power to your installation for system servicing, cleaning and

maintenance. Remove power from this product when it is not in use.

Ensure your installation is protected from short circuits and overcurrent. Loose wires around this device

whilst in operation, this could result in short circuiting.

Do not over stretch cabling to the device’s connectors and ensure that cabling does not exert force on

the PCB.

Do not ‘hot swap’ or ‘hot plug’ power to the device or its accessories.

Do not connect any of this devices V- (GND) connectors to earth.

Do not connect this device to a dimmer pack or mains electricity.

System Planning and Specification

To contribute to an optimal operating temperature, where possible keep this device out of direct

sunlight.

Any twisted pair, 120ohm, shielded EIA-485 cable is suitable to transmit DMX512 data to or from the DIN

ETHERGATE. The DMX cable should be suitable for EIA-485 (RS-485) with one or more low capacitance

twisted pairs, with overall braid and foil shielding. Conductors should be 24 AWG (7/0.2) or larger for

mechanical strength and to minimize volt drop on long lines.

A maximum of 32 devices should be used on a DMX line before re-generating the signal using a DMX

buffer/ repeater / splitter.

Always terminate DMX chains using a 120Ohm resistor to stop signal degradation or data bounce-back.

The maximum recommended DMX cable run is 300m (984ft). ENTTEC advises against running data

cabling close to sources of electromagnetic interference (EMF) i.e., mains power cabling / air

conditioning units.

guide and product datasheet.

Keep the S-PLAY and its accessories in its protective packaging until final installation.

Note the serial number of each S-PLAY and add it to your layout plan for future reference when servicing.

All network cabling should be terminated with an RJ45 connector in accordance with the T-568B

standard.

Always use suitable personal protective equipment when installing ENTTEC products.

Once installation is completed, check that all hardware and components are securely in place and

fastened to supporting structures if applicable.

Installation Safety Guidelines

The device is convection cooled, ensure it receives sufficient airflow so heat can be dissipated.

Do not cover the device with insulating material of any kind.

Do not operate the device if the ambient temperature exceeds that stated in the device specifications.

Do not cover or enclose the device without a suitable and proven method of dissipating heat.

Do not install the device in damp or wet environments.

Do not modify the device hardware in any way.

Do not use the device if you see any signs of damage.

Do not handle the device in an energized state.

Do not crush or clamp the device during installation.

Do not sign off a system without ensuring all cabling to the device and accessories has been

appropriately restrained, secured and is not under tension.

S-PLAY Application Diagram

Connection to Relays

The S-PLAY features relays designed for use with low power devices and to provide switching logic for

higher power contactors.

To ensure a safe installation it is imperative that the power connected to the S-PLAY relays is within their

operating limits:

The S-PLAY’s relay specifications are as follows:

To calculate to total power your circuit will pass through the relay, multiply the circuit voltage by the current

you intend to pass through it. This value must be lower than 60w.

If your application requires mains power switching or high current applications, ENTTEC recommends the

use of a DMX switch pack controlled by the S-PLAY’s DMX output, or wire the S-PLAYs relay outputs to

connect to the primary coil of a DIN mount high powered relay or contactor.
