.
The optional
MINI/C Blackout Controller
may be used in this
mode to control blackout.
Note: Stand-Alone operation require sound to activate! The units will
blackout in this mode to conserve bulb life when there is no sound pres-
ent.
Master-Slave Operation (Sound Active):
This function will
allow you to link up to 4 units together and operate to the built-in pro-
grams without the use of an external controller. The units will all oper-
ate to sound, via the “Master” unit’s internal microphone and sound
sensitivity setting. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act as the
controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling units pro-
grams. Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave. Please note this
function does not allow individual control of the DMX traits and will only
run to the units built-in programs.
1.
Using standard XLR microphone cables, as described on pages
ve and six, daisy chain your units together via the XLR connectors
on the rear of the units. Remember the Male XLR connector is the
input and the Female XLR connector is the output. The rst unit in
the chain (master) will use the female XLR connector only. The last
unit in the chain will use the male XLR connector only. For longer
cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last fixture.
2.
Follow the chart at the end of this section for proper addressing.
3.
Use the chart on the next page to set the program type, either
large or small. Large or Small is used to reference the room size
the unit will be used in. A large program type will use programs
that cover a wide area and small program type will use programs
that cover a narrow area.
4.
Adjust the audio sensitivity knob on the side of the unit to make the
unit more or less sensitive to sound.
Turning the sensitivity knob in
the clockwise direction will increase the sensitivity, turning the
knob in the counter-clockwise direction will decrease the xture’s
sensitivity to sound.
5.
The optional
MINI/C Blackout Controller
may be used with this
function for blackout.
Note: Master-Slave operation require sound to activate! The units will
blackout in this mode to conserve bulb life when there is no sound pres-
ent.
Universal DMX Control:
This function allows you to use a universal
DMX
512
controller such
as the American DJ
®
DMX Operator™ or
Show Designer.™ to control head movement, the color/gobo wheel
and other functions. Operating through a DMX controller allows you
the freedom to create unique and customized programs tailored to
your specific individual needs.
1.
The XP-3™ uses five DMX channels. Channel one controls pan,
channel controls tilt, channel three controls the color/gobo wheel,
channel four control a unique 2 Color Strobe function (see page
19 for details on the 2 Color Strobe Function) and channel five
controls the shutter and general strobe function. Page 13 details
the different DMX traits in depth.
