ALONE OPERATION
The Wizard Extreme can be operated without a DMX controller in stand-
alone mode. A Wizard Extreme in stand-alone mode can be operated as
a single unit or together with other Wizard Extremes in a “master/slave”
configuration.
Several options are available in stand-alone operation. This chapter
describes these options and explains how to select them using the DIP-
switch.
Important! The Wizard Extreme transmits a control signal when it is set
as master (i.e. DIP-switch pins 2 and 10 are set to ON). To
avoid damage to the electronics, do not connect more than 1
master to the data link.
• If you have Wizard Extremes set to single-unit operation and
you want to connect them to a data link, set them as slaves
before connecting them to the link.
• If you have a Wizard Extreme set as master and you want to
use a different fixture on the data link as master, set the
existing master to slave before you set the new master.
S I N G L E - U N I T O P E R A T I O N
The Wizard Extreme can be set to operate independently of other fixtures
in either music trigger or auto trigger mode. No data link is needed for this
mode of operation.
Single-unit operation, with options for trigger type and effect movement
speed, can be selected as described under
“Stand-alone settings” on
page 19.
M A S T E R / S L A V E O P E R A T I O N
Multiple Wizard Extremes can be connected together on a data link
without a controller for synchronized “master/slave” operation in which
slave fixtures can be set to behave identically with, or respond to, the
behavior of the master.
