All the projectors must be in SLAVE mode (SLA);
the projector receives a DMX signal and carries out the controls transmitted from the

control unit.

2) SA

(STAND-ALONE Mode): The projector operates individually.

In this mode, the “

Snd” SOUND TO LIGHT option (movement by Audio signals) may

be set.

3) SAt

(MASTER Mode): The projector generates a DMX output signal that can pilot

other projectors in

SLAVE mode (SLA).

In this mode, the “Snd” SOUND TO LIGHT option (movement by Audio signals) may
be set.
