Fixture Linking You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the data link can support. Important: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line.
The Giant XL LED can be operated with a controller in control mode or without the controller in standalone mode. Control Panel Fig. 5 A. LCD Display B. MODE/ESC button C. Up Button D. Down Button E. ENTER Button Control Mode The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller. The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller.
