PORTRAIT Q-AIR Set User Manual
Eng
One transmitter can mange more receivers at the same time, so this means, for
example, that a DMX controller connected to a 2.4 GHz transmitter can control more
than one PORTRAIT Q-AIR simultaneously, which is a very common application in
case of multiple PARs in a flight case, like the PORTRAIT Q-AIR SET. Of course, the
two or more receivers must be placed within 300m from the transmitter.
Another common application is, for example, if in a venue with two dance floors
(let’s call them “zones”) you want to control both with the same controller. The only
advise is that the fixtures in Zone A must use DMX channels other than those used in
Zone B.
NOTE: If two transmitters are active simultaneously on same ID, although there
is no risk of damage to the equipment, we do not recommend to use two or
more transmitters on same ID value, as this is absolutely useless.
5.1. ID code and LED Color
DMX data communication occurs only if transmitter an receiver are both under same
ID code. Users can assign a fixture to one of the 7 available bands (or groups) by
pressing “ID SEL” button several times. Each ID has a different assigned color as
shown in next table.

Red

Green

Red + Greed = Yellow

Blue
5
Red + Blue = Magenta
6
Green + Blue = Cyan
7
Red + Green + Blue = White
This means that the combination Transmitter-Receiver allows the light designer to
use up to 7 x 512 DMX channels in the same venue.
5.2. Wireless DMX Operation
To use this feature, Select “Set” menu in the display, and press “ENTER”. Scroll
“DOWN” button to select “2. 2.4g wireless”. Press “ENTER” – “UP” to set wireless to
“ON”. You will see WDMX indicator starts to blink. This means the fixture is already
connected to other fixtures or to one wireless transmitter box.
