DMX Operation:

This fixture will react with DMX operation. For best results use only 1 (one) motor function for each
scene (or step), when programming scenes into a DMX controller.  This will give you faster mirror and
faster gobo/color changes.  For Example:

A.  With DMX controller move the mirror up then program the step.
B.  Move the mirror down then program that step.
C.  Change the gobo/color wheel then program that step.
D.  Continue this pattern to achieve best results.

1.  Operating through a DMX controller gives the user freedom to create his/her own programs 

tailored to their own individual needs.  This function also allows you to use your fixtures as spots.

2. This operation will allow you to control each individual fixtures traits with a standard DMX 512

controller such as the American DJ Show Designer

or the American DJ

®

DMX Operator.

4. To run your fixture in DMX mode, plug in the fixture via the XLR connections to any standard DMX

controller. - Follow the set-up specifications that come with the controller.
