displays for each mode are as follows:
"Master" or "DMX" Mode Display reads: "
"Standard" Display reads: " "
This is the mode for using DMX control. After selecting this mode, you must also "address" your
Merlin-C20 accordingly (See Page 12). This is also the "Master Mode" in which this particular unit will
be the "Master" of a chain of "Slave" units all doing the same thing. (See Below)
"Slave Mode"
When any other unit which this particular unit will be the "Master" of a chain, your this Merlin will Slave
Mode and doing the same thing follow the "Master" of a chain. If all of this chain are same address.
"Auto Mode" Display reads: " "

We have programmed a small, multi-stepped program into each Merlin-C20. Without any outside
control, your Merlin-C20 unit will go through all of its ranges of Motion, Color, Gobo and Shutter
repeatedly. At this time, and on this model, this function is not re-programmable and cannot be changed
by the end user.

This is the sound-activated, "Stand-alone" mode. Each Merlin-C20 is equipped with a highly-sensitive
microphone (See Figure 9.) It will react to deep bass or loud sounds by going through all its different
abilities. Each Merlin-C20 will act differently, so you won't have a bunch of heads doing the exact same
thing. This mode is useful if you just want to have some fun with your Merlin-C20 and don't want to set
up a controller and miles of cable.
