3- DMX Mode
It is possible to operate the Lanta Fireball Galaxy Pro™ from a remote location by using
either a DMX controller or a PC or laptop with a DMX interface. Lanta products use a 3
pin XLR style connector and usually have an input and output DMX connector. This allows
multiple lighting products to be “daisy-chained” together to build a display controlled by
just one cable back to the DMX controller.
NOTE: In larger installations, there may be limitations regarding the maximum length of
DMX cables and the maximum number of devices that can be used in one daisy-chain
(or node).
NOTE: It is often desirable to terminate the last device on the node to minimize noise
and interference. Interference on a DMX network can make some lighting products to
behave erratically; this is most noticeable with moving head or other motorized products.
This is not a fault with the lighting product.
Please see your DMX controller handbook for further details.
To use the built-in DMX function, it is necessary to set the DMX address. To do so, first
choose the correct mode by pressing the “MODE” button until the LED display shows
“d” followed by a 3-digit number (e.g. d007). The “UP” and “DOWN” buttons allow the
selection of the DMX address and can be selected between 001 and 512.
The Lanta Fireball Galaxy Pro™ uses two adjacent CHANNELs of DMX and the first will be
determined by the DMX address setting - as described above - and the second CHANNEL
will be one CHANNEL higher. E.g. if the DMX address has been set to 105, then the Lanta
Fireball Galaxy Pro™ will be operated by channels 105 and 106. In most applications, it is
sufficient to set the DMX address to 001 as shown in the table below.
When the Lanta Fireball Galaxy Pro™ is connected to the DMX controller, each CHANNEL
will be controlled by a slider or similar control. When the slider is at the bottom the VALUE
is 0. When the slider is at maximum, the VALUE is 256. The value can be set at any level
at any time. The following table explains what the Lanta Fireball Galaxy Pro™ will do when
the value of CHANNEL 001 and 002 are set:-
