Working mode explanation:
Sound active:
The unit uses its internal microphone to sense music (the beat of the music) and will change patterns
according to the beat of the music. The microphone is situated at the front of the laser device. On the rear of
the laser, there is an adjustable microphone sensitivity knob.
Please note that the sound-activated mode will not function properly when the music source is not loud
enough or when only high-pitched sounds are played.
Auto-beam:
The laser device will activate a pre-defined lasershow on a solid speed setting. The patterns are mainly
beam-effects.
Auto-animation:
The laser device will activate a pre-defined lasershow on a solid speed setting. The patterns are mainly
animations and graphics.
Slave mode:
It is possible to link several ITA3D 600 fixtures for a synchronized lasershow, without the use of a DMX
controller.
Connect your devices with standard XLR-XLR cables. The first device in the chain needs to be set to a basic
function, such as sound-active or one of the auto shows.
Select the slave mode on all other connected device in the chain. You will notice that these devices will
mimic the actions of the first device.
DMX mode:
With an external DMX-controller (or DMX-software) it is possible to control every feature of the laser device.
It is possible to adjust the built-in patterns and to add several effects, such as zoom-effects or pattern
rotation.
NOTE:
When the DMX-signal or master/slave signal is lost (due to a failure in the DMX-connection or any
other reason), the laser will shut off the output due to safety issues. This prevents the projection of static
images and/or patterns.
ILDA mode:
When you wish to control this laser using ILDA-lasersoftware, you need to connect a DB25 cable to the laser.
The laser automatically detects the ILDA-connection and will override any selected working mode, thus
switching automatically to ILDA mode. When an ILDA signal is detected, but there is no data-transfer, the
laser will shut off automatically, to prevent the projection of static beams. Also when the connection during a
lasershow is lost, the laser will shut off the beam output to prevent injury.
WARNING
When using this laser device, Ayra strongly recommends not using the laser for audience scanning
purposes*. Only a skilled technician and/or laser operator should operate this laser while audience scanning
is performed, for safety reasons.
Audience scanning should always be performed with a moving graphic (such as a tunnel or wave) and with
large graphics, to prevent that high-intensity beams are projected into the eyes of your audience long enough
to cause serious injury. Because the automatic modes of this laser use different types of graphics, the laser
should not be used for audience scanning purposes when operating in these modes.
Only when using DMX or ILDA, it is safe to project laser patterns into your audience,
but only
:
- When the graphics are large (so the beam intensity is relatively harmless)
- When the graphics are moving (such as rotating movement, so the graphic can never project continuously
on the same spot)
- When you have a laser emergency power cut-off installed (use the interlock feature or a 230V power
switch)
- When a skilled technician or laser operator is controlling the laser
- When the audience scanning begins at a distance of at least 10 meters of the beam output
