5-PIN AND 3-PIN CONVERSION
PANDA
װ
uses 3-pin XLR plug / socket. If your controller uses 5-pin XLR plug / socket, you should
convert 5-pin plug / socket into 3-pin socket / plug as shown below.
DMX TERMINATOR
In the Controller mode or Master/Slave mode, the DMX output has to be connected with a DMX
terminator at the last fixture in the chain. This prevents electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting
the DMX control signals.
The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connector with a 120
Ω
(ohm) resistor connected across pins 2
and 3, which is then plugged into the output socket on the last projector in the chain. The connections
are illustrated below.
MASTER / SLAVE SYNCHRO MODE
Without using the controller, many projectors can run synchronously by linking them with each other in
the Master/Slave mode.
Select one projector as the master without connecting any cable to the projector’s input, and set the
DIP switches at random.

Regard the other projectors as the slaves, and
set all No.1 DIP switches on the ON, and the
other DIP switches on the OFF.
Connect the master’s output to the first slave’s
input, and connect the first slave’s output to the
second slave’s input. The rest may be deduced
by analogy. Eventually connect the last slave’s
output to a DMX terminator as shown in the
figure below.
In the Master/Slave mode, the programmes having been set in the master may be actived by sound
via the MIC inside the master, and all projectors will change colours and gobos synchronously
according to the rhythm of music.
