Operating Modes
The following overview is designed to show the differences between the various operation modes that are
supported by the above-mentioned menu functions.
Sound:
When in Sound-controlled mode, the device's internal microphone detects the music and reacts to the beat.
The device will move in sync with the music and provide an automated light show.
When there is no music for the device to detect or when only high frequencies are audible, the device will
continue its program at a slower pace, so the light show will not stop abruptly. As soon as the microphone
detects music again, it will resume the automated program and follow the beat.
Slave
In Slave mode, you can daisy-chain multiple devices of the same type so they all function a specific way.
This way you can coordinate your light show by having multiple separate devices moving the same way
instead of all different directions, which can be chaotic. Basically, you can connect an unlimited number of
slave devices to a master device, but a DMX booster is required in between. Generally speaking, you can
connect up to four armatures together without the need for a DMX booster.
Be aware that when you attempt to connect devices of different types and brands, they may behave
strangely and you may not get the desired effect because certain functions are linked to the wrong channels.
This is true of DMX lighting of all brands and types.
The ERO Micro Spot can, in fact, be linked with the ALO Micro Scan because these devices use the same
operating system. This enables you to link multiple moving heads and scanners of this type.
DMX
The DMX mode is the most comprehensive way to maintain ultimate control over all the functions this device
has to offer. It enables you to determine exactly how many functions you want to control via the DMX
controller or DMX software.
This device can be set to various channel modes so the channel layout, which is shown below, corresponds
perfectly with your DMX circle layout, as well as with the functions you will be using.
