The DMX-controller can send certain commands to each RDM device which allow remote setup of the
units. Thanks to this the projector can be setup remotely.
The following functions can be managed remotely:
No more need to take a ladder and set all units one by one!
•
DMX START ADDRESS:
The start address can be set remotely from 001 to xxx.
•
PERSONALITY:
The DMX working mode (DMX-chart) can be set remotely.
These 2 functions make it possible to prepare a complete DMX-patch of all projectors on the DMX-
controller and send these data to all projectors at once. More functions will be added later.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Note:
when the projector is switched on the display shows “[UPDATE WAIT …]” This message informs you
that IF you want to upgrade the firmware, you should do it while this message is shown on the display. For
normal use you can ignore this message completely.
A. Standalone 1unit:
•
Just connect the projector to the mains.
•
Select one of the standalone options, [AUTO RUN] [EFF MODE] or [STATIC COLOR]
•
Adjust the master dimmer [MASTER DIM] if necessary
•
Refer to chapter HOW TO SETUP to learn how to set the menu options.
B. Two or more units in master/slave setup:
•
Connect the units together. Refer to the chapter “electrical installation” to learn how to do this.
•
Select one of the standalone options, [AUTO RUN] [EFF MODE] or [STATIC COLOR] in the first
projector of the chain. This “Master” unit will send all the information to the slave units. This means all
the main program settings need to be don
e in this “Master” unit.
•
Adjust the master dimmer [MASTER DIM] if necessary
•
Set all the other projectors in SLAVE mode
•
The slave projectors will now follow the settings of the master projector so they all work
synchronously.
C. Controlled by universal DMX-controller:
•
Connect all units together. Refer to the chapter “Electrical installation for two or more units in DMX-
mode” to learn how to do this (don’t forget to address all units properly!)
•
Connect all units to the mains and turn on the DMX controller.
Since each unit has its own DMX-address, you can control them individually. Remember that each unit
can use a different number of DMX-channels, depending on the DMX-mode you have selected in the
menu. See the different DMX charts below:
