ture. The Vizi Spot 5R can be a 11 channel or 13 channel DMX unit. The 

fixture can operate in three different operating modes; show mode, 

sound-active, or under DMX control. The Vizi Spot 5R can be used as 

a stand alone unit or in a master/slave configuration. For best results 

use fog or special effects smoke to enhance the beams projections. 
During the initial start-up or use of this product a light smoke or 

smell may arise from the unit. This is a normal process and is 

cause by the heat associated with the lamp.
