Automatic operation (auto)
XR7 can work in automatic mode without a DMX controller.
First of all connect the projectors with a DMX cable (picture below).
To activate Auto mode on the first unit, use the menu to run through the different modes
until AUTO appears on the display, at this point press enter.
Now it is possible to choose between the different pre-programmed games (GAME 1-2-3)
or Game P which is user programmable through REC mode. To confirm game activation
press ENTER on the chosen GAME.
The first unit that will work as a Master should be placed in Automatic mode (AUTO), the
other projectors have to be place in 16 channels DMX mode (MODE 16CH) and the DMX
address should be set at A001. Once a game is chosen and set it is possible to select the
speed of the game (SPEE) and the gobo focus (FOCU).
The first unit that will function as a Master must be put in (AUTO) mode, the other
projectors have to be put in slave mode (selectable through the menu). In this way all
units will be synchronised with the master, the projectors need not be of the same
model.
On the master unit it is possible to vary the speed of the GAME P (SPEE)
NB: It is possible to run GAME P on the other units even though these do not have GAME
P programmed. You can do this by setting the units to the same mode as the master is
set before programming GAME P (10CH or 16CH DMX) and selecting A001 ad the DMX
address.
It is possible to programme your own game on the XR7 that will then run in AUTO mode
(GAME P). Each unit can have its own programmed game.
In REC mode each projector must be set to the same mode (10CH or 16CH DMX).
For the programming of GAME P besides the channels necessary to control the unit a
further 3 DMX channels are needed. So that in REC mode if the 10CH mode is selected
you will need 13 channels for the programme to work correctly whereas 16CH mode
would occupy 19 channels.
Connect the unit to a DMX mixer/controller, every unit should be set to its own Address
(See the paragraph on DMX addresses). The projectors can also be different of models:
XR7 spot/wash and XR 250 spot/wash. When you are in REC mode R.001 appears on the
display (DMX address).
