9- AUTOMATIC MODE (auto)
XR8 can work in automatic mode without a DMX controller.
First of all connect the projectors with a DMX cable (picture below).
To activate Auto mode on the first unit, use the menu to run through the different modes until AUTO
appears on the display, at this point press enter.
Now it is possible to select the Game P which is user programmable through REC mode.
To confirm game activation press ENTER.
9.1- Game P
The first unit that will function as a Master must be put in (AUTO) mode, the other projectors have to be
put in slave mode (selectable through the menu). This way all units will be synchronised with the master.
Please note that the projectors must be of the same model.
On the master unit it is possible to vary the speed of the GAME P (SPEE)
NB: It is possible to run GAME P on the other units even though these do not have GAME P programmed.
You can do this by setting the units to the same mode as the master is set before programming GAME P
(16CH DMX) and setting the DMX address to A001.
9.2-Rec Mode
It is possible to program your own game on the XR8 that will then run in AUTO mode (GAME P). Each unit
can have its own programmed game.
In REC mode each projector must be set to the same mode (16CH DMX).
For the programming of GAME P besides the channels necessary to control the unit a further 3 DMX
channels are needed. So that in REC mode if the 16CH mode is selected you will need 19 channels for
the program to work correctly.
Connect the unit to a DMX mixer/controller, every unit should be set to its own Address (See the
paragraph on DMX addresses). The projectors can also be of different models:XR8 Spot/Wash, XR7
Spot/Wash and XR 250 Spot/Wash. When you are in REC mode R.001 appears on the display (DMX
address).
