Choose the device which is to control the effects. This device then works as master-device and controls all
other slave-devices, which are to be connected to the master-device via via a DMX cable. Connect the DMX
OUT-jack with the DMX IN-plug of the next device.
Set the desired Master-mode for the master-device. Set the respective Slave-mode for all slave-devices.
Please refer to the instructions under Control Board.
DMX-controlled operation
You can control the projectors individually via your DMX-controller. Every DMX-channel has a different
occupation with different features. The individual channels and their features are listed under DMX-protocol.
Addressing
The Control Board allows you to assign the DMX starting address, which is defined as the first channel from
which the EYE-7.i will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, in the 22 channel mode the address to channel 23, the EYE-7.i will use the channel
23 to 44 for control.
Please, be sure that you don't have any overlapping channels in order to control each EYE-7.i correctly and
independently from any other fixture on the DMX-chain.
If several EYE-7.i are addressed similarly, they will work synchronically.
Press the Up/Down-buttons for setting the desired starting address. Now you can start operating the EYE-7.i
via your lighting controller.
Note:
After switching on, the device will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If there is
no data received at the DMX-input, the display will flash.
This situation can occur if:
- the XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the device.
- the controller is switched off or defective, if the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap
in the input connector.
