The PIXIE driver comes with a pre-loaded scrolling rainbow 
sequence which will playback and loop forever on power 
up. More sequences can be recorded or loaded using PRO-
Manager App. The maximum length of the sequence de-
pends on the recording parameters. 

E.g.  The  shortest  possible  show  with  510  channels  at  40 
frames per second, will be 25 seconds. If the show has a 
repetitive nature you could also get it to loop-back forever. 

Remember that any data coming from DMX or USB ports 
will override the playback mode.
