Your Talent Sound & Lighting fixture may be operated as a stand-alone
device that runs on pre-programmed routines or sound activation, in
master/slave mode with other devices, or via an external DMX512
controller. In DMX mode it is configurable to be controlled by 3, 5, or 7
channels.
Besides stand-alone operation, there are two main ways to control the
fixture:
A. Universal DMX control mode
B. Master/Slave operation
A. Universal DMX controller
This fixture's DMX address can be set remotely by a universal DMX
controller. First, you need to program two scenes into a chase, and then
link the fixtures to the universal DMX controller. When you run the chase,
the fixtures in the chain will set the series
DMX address automatically. Each lighting fixture needs to have an
address set when in DMX mode, to receive the data sent by the controller.
The address number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
Please refer to the following diagram to set the address for the first four
units.
The numbers 1, 5, 9, and 13 indicate the starting address of each of the
fixtures.
B. Master/Slave operation
The fixture allows you to link as many as 16 fixtures together and operate
without a controller. In Master/Slave mode, the first fixture will control
the others to give an automatic, sound activated, synchronized light show.
This function is good for when you want an instant performance. The first,
or master, fixture's DMX input will have nothing connected to it. Its
output connects to the slave fixtures, which will be set in slave mode
automatically.
