4 Operation
The operating modes and the setting functions
are selected via a menu by means of the buttons
MENU, ENTER, UP and DOWN. Figure 3 on
page 2 shows the selection of the modes and
functions via the menu and the indications on
the display.
4.1 Independent operation
For independent operation, it is possible to set
the brightness for cool white and warm white, to
activate the stroboscope function and to set the
flash rate on the spotlight.
1) Press the button MENU repeatedly until the
display shows
2) Press the button ENTER. ,
number will appear on the display.
= brightness cool white (0 – 255)
= brightness warm white (0 – 255)
= flash rate (0 – 20 Hz) of the stroboscope
3) Use the button ENTER to select the three
setting functions one after the other and then
use the button UP or DOWN to set the bright-
ness or flash rate. The colour temperature of
the light beam is defined by the brightness
ratio between cool white and warm white.
Note: Do not use the button MENU to exit the menu
item for the brightness or the flash rate before switch-
ing off the spotlight. If you do, the spotlight will remain
dark when it is switched on again.
4.2 Synchronous control of multiple
spotlights (master / slave mode)
Multiple spotlights ODC-100 / CTW and PARC-
100 / CTW (also a combination of both) may be
combined. The brightness and flash rate set-
tings made at the master unit will be automati-
cally transferred to the slave units.
1) Connect the spotlights with each other in a
chain, using the DMX connections; please refer
to chapter 4.3.1, "Connection", skipping step 1.
2) Set the master unit to the master mode and
all slave units to the slave mode:
a) Press the button MENU repeatedly until
appears on the display.
b) Press the button ENTER and then use the
button UP or DOWN to select:
= master mode for the master unit
= slave mode for the slave units
3) At the master unit, set the brightness and
flash rate desired.

4.3 Operation with a DMX controller
For operation via a DMX light controller (e. g.
DMX-1440 or DMX-510USB from "img Stage
Line"), the spotlight is equipped with four DMX
control channels. DMX stands for Digital Multi-
plex and means digital control of multiple DMX
units via a common control cable. The functions
of the channels and the DMX values can be
found in chapter 4.3.3 (fig. 6).
4.3.1 Connection
For DMX signal transmission, special cables
should be used (e. g. CDMXN-... from "img
Stage Line"). For cable lengths exceeding
150 m or for control of more than 32 units via a
single DMX output, it is generally recommended
to insert a DMX level matching amplifier (e. g.
SR-103DMX).
1) Connect the input DMX IN to the DMX output
of the light controller or to the DMX output of
another DMX-controlled unit.
For the spotlight ODC-100 / CTW, connect
the plug (C) of the cable DMX IN to the inline
jack (D) of the supplied cable equipped with
an XLR plug. Then fasten the nut to secure
this connection.
DMX IN C

DMX connection ODC-100 /CTW
Use an extension cable to connect the XLR
plug to the DMX output of the light controller
or, if additional DMX-controlled units are
used, to the DMX output of the last DMX-con-
trolled unit.
2) Connect the output DMX OUT to the DMX
input of the second DMX unit. Connect the
output of the second DMX unit to the input of
the third DMX unit etc. until all DMX-con-
trolled units have been connected in a chain.
If the DMX connection cables between
the units are too short when interconnecting
multiple ODC-100 / CTW spotlights, use suit-
able extension cables, e. g.
ODP-34DMX
ODP-34DMX / 10 length: 10 m
3) To prevent interference in signal transmis-
sion, in case of long cables or a multitude of
units connected in series, terminate the DMX
output of the last DMX unit in the chain with a
120 Ω resistor (> 0.3 W): Connect a corre-
