Unpacking:

DJ

®

.  Every  RollerTron™  has  been  thoroughly  tested  and  has  been 

shipped in perfect operating condition. Carefully check the shipping 
carton  for  damage  that  may  have  occurred  during  shipping.  If  the 
carton appears to be damaged, carefully inspect your fixture for any 
damage and be sure all equipment necessary to operate the unit has 
arrived intact. In the event damage has been found or parts are miss-

instructions. Please do not return this unit to your dealer without first

Introduction: 

The RollerTron™ is a five channel DMX intelligent scan-

ner with a unique barrel mirror that may be easily converted to an intel-
ligent color changer by removing the mirror unit. This unit can also run 
as a stand alone, sound-active unit, or in a Master/Slave configuration 
as either a scanner or color changer. The RollerTron™ comes with sev-
eral build in programs that are compatible with the ScanTron™ and is 
best used in multiples of four. When used as a stand alone unit or when 
used  in  multiples  linked  in  a  master/slave  configuration  the  optional 
IRC/1 controller may be used. The optional controller will access differ-
ent programs and control a blackout function. 

For best results use fog 

or special effects smoke to enhance the beams projections.
