a) Music Controlled Mode
The fixture will react to the music through the built-in microphone.
b) Master/Slave Mode
If you have several fixtures, you can chain them together and let them make synchronous movement, controlled by
the master device.
The master unit will drive all slave units. Connect the master and slave units using the provided DMX cable.
When in this mode, the built-in microphone (when in music mode) or auto program function of the master machine
controls all fixtures and they will change colour rhythmically and synchronously.
c) Program Mode
To make the fixture run its internal program continuously.
d) DMX Mode
All fixtures should be given a DMX start address when using a DMX signal, so that the correct fixture responds to the
correct control signals. This digital start address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to "listen" to the
digital control information being sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this start address is achieved by
setting the correct number by means of the DIP switch located on the back of the VDP250SC6M.
As you prefer, you can set the same start address for all or a group of fixtures or select a different one for each
fixture individually.
If you set the same address, all the units will start to "listen" to the same control signal from the same channel
number. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.
If you set a different address, each unit will start to "listen" to the channel number you have set, based on the quantity
of control channels of the unit. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect only the selected
fixture.
In the case of the VDP250SC6M, which is a 6 channel fixture, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to
1, the second unit to 7 (1 + 6), the third to 13 (7 + 6), and so on.
Make sure you are in DMX mode. Select the correct start address by means of the UP and DOWN buttons.
The LED next to the DIP switches indicates the status of the DMX signal.
LED flashing: DMX signal present
LED steady on: no input DMX signal
