Operating Modes:
The Dynasty Scan DMX can operate in three
different modes. This next section will detail the differences in
the operating modes.
• Stand alone mode -
The unit will react to sound, chasing through the built-in programs.
• Master/Slave mode -
You can daisy chain up to 16 units together to get a synchronized
light show without the need of an external controller. The units will
react to sound chasing through the several built-in programs.
• DMX control mode -
This function will allow you to control each individual fixtures traits
with a standard DMX-512 controller such as the Elation
®
Show
Designer.
™
Universal DMX Control:
This function allows you to use a uni-
versal DMX-512 controller such as the Elation
®
DMX Operator™
or Elation
®
Show Designer™ to control head movement, the color
wheel, gobo wheel, and the shutter (strobe). A DMX controller allows
you to create unique programs tailored to your individual needs.
1. The Dynasty Scan DMX uses six DMX channels. See pages 15-16
for detailed description of the DMX traits.
2. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures
on pages 5-7 as well as the set-up specifications that are
included with your DMX controller.
3. Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.
4. This will allow you to create your own programs.
5. Follow the instruction on page 8 to set the DMX address.
6. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on
the last fixture.
7. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included
with your DMX controller.
Stand-Alone Operation (Sound Active):
This mode allows a
single unit or several units linked together, to run to the beat of the
music.

the submenu.

4. You may invert the pan and tilt functions by in the system menu
by following the directions on page 8.
Master-Slave Operation (Sound Active):
This function will allow
you to link units together and operate without a controller. The units
will be sound activated. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act
as the controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling units
programs. Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave.
1. Using standard XLR microphone cables, daisy chain your units
together via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remem-
ber the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR
connector is the output. The first unit in the chain (master) will use
the female XLR connector only - The last unit in the chain will use
the male XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a
terminator at the last fixture.

Master:
Tap the “LEFT” or “RIGHT” arrow buttons until AUDIO is
displayed

the submenu.
3. Press either the “UP” or “DOWN” arrow buttons to select either
“On” or “Off”. Once you have decided, press the either the
“RIGHT” or “LEFT” arrow buttons to exit the submenu. The Slave
units will follow the Master once the Master has been pro-
grammed.
