Operation Modes
Please find a clear explanation of the differences between all available Operation Modes below and how they
are affected by the menu functions listed above.
Auto:
In Auto Mode, you can select one of the Operation Modes in which the device is not dependent on external
factors such as DMX signals, master signals or sound. Here, one of the basic programmes can be selected
such as setting the alternating speed or correcting the intensity.
Sound:
The sound-controlled mode or ‘sound mode’ uses an in-built microphone that registers the beat of music and
a runs a program based on this. For example, the device can move in virtual synchronisation with any music,
providing an automatic light-show.
When no music is detected or only highs are present in the music due to a break, the device will continue its
program at a slower pace. As such, the light show does not appear to come to a stand still. As soon as sound
is registered by the microphone once more, the device shall continue its program in synchronisation with the
beat.
Slave
In Slave Mode, it is possible to connect several devices of the same type with one another so that they
perform exactly the same movements and functions at the same time. Therefore, single devices do not
respond individually (or chaotically) and this results in a completely coordinated show. In theory, by adding a
DMX booster, an unlimited number of Slave devices can be linked to one Master device. Initially, no problem
would occur if 4 devices were linked and no DMX booster were added.
Please note: If you link devices of a different type or brand (even if they appear to have the same function),
chaotic or strange behaviour can occur. This is often because certain functions are linked to the incorrect
channels. This applies to DMX lighting of all types and brands.
DMX
The DMX Mode is the most comprehensive mode for optimum control over all functions of this device. Via
DMX, it is possible to control either a limited or large amount of functions via a DMX controller or DMX
software.
The device can be set to different channel modes so the channel layout (included below) is in alignment with
the layout of your DMX circuit and with the functions you want to use.
