Playback Settings
Preset programming requires one fixture to act as the Master. All other TechnoArc fixtures on the
link can then be set as slaves to playback the Master presets. Slave fixtures receive all their
preset parameter and timing information from the master fixture.
Playback settings designate a fixture as a master or a slave and also allow you to revert from Auto
Programming to DMX control from a console or set a fixture in Master or standalone mode for
audio control.
