Master/Slave Connection
The Ovation F-55FC uses the DMX data connection for its Master/Slave mode. See the User Manual for information
about how to connect and configure the product for master/slave operation.
RDM (Remote Device Management)
Remote Device Management, or RDM, is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate bi-directionally
along existing DMX cabling. Check the DMX controller’s User Manual or with the manufacturer as not all DMX controllers
have this capability. The Ovation F-55FC supports RDM protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map
options. Download the User Manual from
for more details.
Virtual Color Wheel
The Ovation F-55FC includes a feature called the Virtual Color Wheel (VCW). This feature is available as a stand-alone
control mode for manual use and also as a control channel in select DMX personalities. Over 30 pre-mixed colors,
custom blended by our engineers, are available to call up for easier programming.
The DMX values used to mix these colors are provided below. You may adjust the overall intensity of the Ovation fixture
in order to more closely replicate colors you are familiar with. A chart is available on our website
to compare our pre-mixed colors with popular gel colors. This chart is for comparison
purposes only and is not a representation that our pre-mixed colors match any of the gel colors listed.
