External control
The Imager can be controlled with DMX signals from a DMX control device
such as a DMX recorder or DMX controller. This is described in “Section 3.
DMX control” on page 37.
Stand-Alone programming
Using stand-alone programming, there are two ways of programming and
storing a show in the fixture itself:
• Via an MP-2 Uploader, or
• Using the optional IR remote control (that communicates with the optional IR
receiver mounted on the first fixture in a data link). This method is popular
for installations of up to 10 fixtures because access to the various functions
is faster, and because multiple fixtures can be simultaneously selected and
programmed from a single IR remote control unit (this potentially time-
saving method is known as IR Stand-Alone). If you have any MiniMac
Maestro or Alien 02 luminaires installed on the data link you can also use
this method to program them.
Stand-Alone programming is described in “Section 2. Stand-Alone
operation” on page 25.
