The LED Messenger is a three channel, DMX intelligent, 

LED  personal  phrase  projector.  This  fixture  can  project  15  phrases 
that can be designed and edited by you. Ten of the 15 phrases are 
preprogrammed for your convenience, but you can edit over the pre-
programmed phrases with your own individual phrases. These prepro-
grammed phrases can be restored by entering a simple code, that will 
be explained further in the user manual. Every phrase can include up 
to 30 charaters, and can be stored in the memory to be used for later 
occasions. The LED Messenger can also project 16 preprogrammed 
LED patterns. This fixture has four operating modes; Built-In program
