Operating Modes:
The Vizi Beam 5R™ can operate in three
different modes. This next section will detail the differences in
the operating modes.
• Stand alone mode -
The unit will react to sound, chasing through the built-in programs.
• Master/Slave mode -
You can daisy chain up to 16 units together to get a synchronized
light show without the need of an external controller. The units will
react to sound chasing through the several built-in programs.
• DMX control mode -
This function will allow you to control each individual fixtures traits
with a standard DMX-512 controller such as the Elation
®
Show
Designer.
™
Universal DMX Control:
This function allows you to use a uni-
versal DMX-512 controller such as the Elation
®
DMX Operator™
or Elation
®
Show Designer™ to control head movement, the color
wheel, gobo wheel, and the shutter (strobe). A DMX controller allows
you to create unique programs tailored to your individual needs.
1. The Vizi Beam 5R™ uses 10 or 12 DMX channels, depending on
what mode you are in. See pages 44-51 for detailed description
of the DMX traits.
2. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures
on pages 13-15 as well as the set-up specifications that are
included with your DMX controller.
3. Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.
4. This will allow you to create your own programs.
5. Follow the instruction on page 20 to set the DMX address.
6. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on
the last fixture.
7. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included
with your DMX controller.
Stand-Alone (Sound Active or Auto Program):
This mode allows
a single unit to run to the beat of the music or run through a built-in
program.
