Hour: The fixture shows how much hours it has been active. This is very practical for rental companies
which need to perform service intervals on all fixtures after several hours of performing, to maintain optimal
shape.
The TDC 444 MK2 is equipped with several working modes, each with its own advantages. For simple
events there are stand-alone modes, for advanced situations there are options to create synchronized
lightshows, or controlled with a DMX-512 controller. A short description for each mode can be found below:
Auto:
Automatic lightshow with a pre-programmed internal show, on a pre-defined speed.
Sound:
Automatic lightshow with a pre-programmed internal show, on the beat of the music, thanks to an internal
microphone which senses the beat of the music and will change a step every time a beat is detected.
Slave:
In master/slave mode, it is possible to link several TDC 444 MK2 fixtures together, to create synchronized
lightshows in the Auto or Sound mode. The first fixture in the chain needs to be set in the Auto or Music
mode. All the next fixtures need to be set to Slave and will mimic the behavior of the first fixture. The
master/slave function requires XLR – XLR cables (not included).
DMX:
The TDC 444 MK2 can be connected to a DMX-controller with standard XLR – XLR cable. While doing so, a
DMX-terminator must be connected to the last fixture, at the end of the DMX-chain. This prevents reflections
in the DMX-signal, which could cause flickering and unwanted behavior from your intelligent fixtures.
A DMX terminator is a XLR connector with a resistor of 120 Ohm, placed between pin 2 and 3 as a bridge.
