• Auto Mode
Select the mode on the device. Your VDPL304LF will automatically run the built-in effects.
You can also manually change the gobos using the optional VDPL304LF/RC remote controller.
Connect the controller to VDPL304LF through the remote controller input.
• Sound-Controlled Mode
Select the mode on the device. The device is sound-controlled through the built-in microphone.
A separate controller is not required.
• Master/Slave Mode
Connect your VDPL304LFs to the master VDPL304LF. Select the
and the mode on the slave device. All slave devices will now act synchronously to the master
device.
• DMX Mode
DMX512 Connection
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side
to the male 3-pin XLR input of the VDPL304LF. Multiple VDPL304LFs can be linked through serial
linking. The linking cable should be a two-core screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.
DMX512 Chain with Termination
DMX Start Address
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the
signals. This start address is the channel number from which the device starts to "listen" to the DMX
controller. Enter the correct number and read it from the display located on the base of the
VDPL304LF.
You can use the same starting address for a whole group of devices or enter an individual one for
every device.
When all devices have the same address, all the VDPL304LFs will "listen" to the control signal on
one particular channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices
simultaneously. If you set different addresses, each device will "listen" to a separate channel
number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.
In the case of the 7-channel VDPL304LF, you will have to set the start address of the first
VDPL304LF to 1, the second VDPL304LF to 8 (1 + 7), the third to 15 (8 + 7) and so on.

VDPL304LF
A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has
to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos).
The terminator prevents corruption of the digital control signal by electrical
noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor
between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket of
the last device in the chain.
Please see illustrations.
