1. COLOR/CHASE BUTTONS: These buttons have different functions, depending on the selected working
mode (refer to n°2):
 FIXED COLOR MODE: You can select 9 different predefined colors.
 MATRIX CHASE: together with the chase/color fader (3) you can select 32 different chases
(sound activated or not)
 AUTO ADDRESS MODE: with the buttons "red" and "orange" you can automatically assign the
DMX addresses for two different 8x8 matrixes. Refer to the chapter "ADDRESSING" for more
information.
2. MODE SELECT BUTTONS: 3 buttons used to set the controller in different working modes:
 FIXED COLORS: select this mode if you want to use the "fixed color" buttons (1).
 CHASE MODE: when you select this mode you can use the "chase" buttons (1) and chase/color
fader (3) to choose one of the 32 predefined matrix chases.
 SPECTRUM MIX: select this mode if you want to select one of the 32 different colors using the
"chase/color" fader (3).
3. CHASE/COLOR FADER: used to select one of the available color chases:
 Left side of the fader indicates the 4 different pattern variations on the matrix chases you selected
with the color/chase buttons (1).
 Right side of the fader indicates the different colors.
Important remark: There's also a function called "color fade" which is very nice for "background
lighting" applications. Select this function to fade gently from one color to another. You can adjust
the fade-over time with the speed/fade fader(4).
4. SPEED/FADE FADER: used to select the chase speed or color fade time:
 Left side of the fader indicates the chase speed, ranging from 2,5s to 0,1s.
 Right side of the fader indicates the color fade time, ranging from 12s to 2,5s.
5. MASTER FADER: used to control the overall dimming of the LEDs and overall strobe speed.
6. SOUND BUTTON: used to toggle the chase mode between sound and static mode. Press this button
during the "auto address" mode to select the previous matrix. Refer to the chapter "ADDRESSING" for
more information.
7. FULL ON BUTTON: used to set the 3 colors (R+G+B) at maximum level. Press this button during the
"auto address" mode to select the next matrix. Refer to the chapter "ADDRESSING" for more
information.
8. BLACKOUT BUTTON: used to set the output at zero level. Press this button for about 5seconds to start

CONNECTIONS
 Just "daisy chain" the DMX in/outputs of 8 or more LED OCTOPANEL units with the DMX-output of the
OC-1 Matrix Controller using a good quality balanced cable.
Important! Don't forget to run the "auto address" function, this will give all connected units their own
address. (refer to the chapter "ADDRESSING")
ADDRESSING
Each time you build a different installation with the OC-1 Matrix controller, you should run this function. The
OC-1 controller distributes the addresses automatically to all the connected units. You can control and
address 2 different matrixes. Follow the instructions below to set these addresses:
A. Connect all units (8 or 16pcs) to the OC-1 controller and switch the complete setup on.
B. Press the "blackout" button (see n°8) for about 5seconds: until the red "blackout LED" starts blinking: all
connected OCTOPANEL units should be lit in white color while their displays start blinking. Each display
shows the address the unit automatically received from the controller.
C. Press the "red" button (see n°1) to set the addresses for matrix1 (first unit starts at address 001) or the
"orange" button for matrix2 (first unit starts at address 193)
D. Press the "blackout" button again for about 5 seconds, until the "blackout" LED stops blinking.
E. Done!
Note: You can use the "full on" and "sound to matrix" buttons (see n°6 and 7) to switch between the 2
matrixes (first set of 8 units and second set of 8 units)
