B Manual colour adjustment
Hint:
When adjusting the brightness of the red, green, or
blue LEDs, not only their brightness will be modified but in
case of a combination of these colours, the shade of colour
will also be modified. Therefore, first adjust the colour which
is intended to dominate to the desired brightness, and then
add the other two colours. For the combination white, first
adjust the brightness of the colour green, because this colour
appears to the eye to be the brightest colour. Then add red
to result in yellow and finally add blue to result in white.

6.2 Interconnecting several PARL-1DMX units
Several PARL-1DMX units may be interconnected.
Then all slave units can be controlled in sync with the
master unit.
1) Connect the DMX OUTPUT (9) of the master unit
via a 3-pole XLR cable (e. g. series MEC-… or
MECN-… from the product range of “img Stage
Line”) to the DMX INPUT (10) of the first slave unit.
2) Connect the DMX OUTPUT of the first slave unit to
the DMX INPUT of the second slave unit, etc. until
all units have been connected in a chain.
3) Adjust the type of control at the slave units.
a) Press button MENU (5) so many times until the
indication
is shown on the display (3).
b) Press button ENTER. The display now shows
the adjusted slave mode (
…
).
c) Adjust the desired mode with button UP or
DOWN:
= The slave unit is controlled in sync by
the master unit.
=
Stroboscopic effects are controlled
opposite to the master unit.
…
= The control is optimized for the
use of 3 to 16 slave units.
No DMX signal must be present at the DMX INPUT of
the master unit, so that the yellow LED MASTER (4)
lights up and the unit is thus switched to the master
mode. Once the control signals from the master unit
are applied to the slave units, the red LED SLAVE (6)
will light up on the slave units. The slave units are then
automatically switched to the slave mode and can be
controlled with the master unit accordingly.
