You can then back out to a general menu level and configure the transmitting product to
operate it with a DMX controller.
To configure your product to work with DMX, refer to the
manual.
·
To add additional compatible Freedom™ products, turn the synced ones off
and repeat the above steps with unsynced products. Once all products are
synced, turn them all back on.
·
Auto scan syncing must be done within a distance of about 32 ft (10 m).
Note: Auto syncing signals might be blocked if the transmitting product and
the receiving product are too close to each other. If they are unable to
become synchronized, move them farther apart and try syncing them again.
·
If you are experiencing antenna issues or need to improve signal quality,
extend the antenna outward away from the product and keep the line of sight
between products unobstructed.
·
Ensure that all linked products are configured to the same DMX personality
(either 4-channel or 5-channel).
·
Caution: D-Fi™ operation can be interrupted or inhibited by liquid masses
between the transmitter and receiver such as water, snow, or people. For best
results, please keep the antenna clear of any liquid mass.
