8.5.Connecting the DR1
All the functions available via the display menu are also available via the
DR1
(cod.
CO9703
).
The
DR1
is a remote device designed for technical users who need to perform tasks on the projectors whilst they may be located in inac-
cessible positions. It acts as a remote control.
The
DR1
eliminates the need for climbing up truss structures to gain direct physical access to the projector to alter such parameters as
DMX
address, reading outputs such as lamp life, setting master/slave configurations as well as all other functions available via the digi-
tal display unit on the projector.
In order to utilise the
DR1
remote device, you must first activate the identifying number of the projector
ID
, which must be unique in
the particular DMX universe in which it is currently installed.
The method for setting an identification number
ID
is shown below.
For further information, consult the
DR1
instruction manual.
