7.3 Stand-Alone Mode With Built-In Microphone
In stand-alone mode, the LEDs of the VDPL4300SC will synchronize with the music through the built-in
microphone.
To set the device to stand-alone mode:
1. Connect nothing to the DMX input [8] of the device.
2. Press <MENU> until <SOUN> is displayed and press <ENTER>.
3. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to choose the desired setting:
o
<SOU1>: the device runs slowly when there is no sound.
o
<SOU2>: the device stops when there is no sound.
4. Press <ENTER> to confirm.
5. If necessary, set the sensitivity of the internal microphone with the sensitivity knob [12].
7.4 Master/Slave Mode
The master/slave mode allows connecting several devices to a single master device. All slave devices will then
work synchronously with the master device.
You need to set one device to master mode and all other devices to slave mode.
1. Connect all devices in series with DMX cables.
2. On the master device, press <MENU> until <SLND> is displayed and press <ENTER>.
3. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to choose <MAST> and press <ENTER>.
4. Set the program as described in Stand-Alone Mode With Built-In Microphone.
5. On each slave device, press <MENU> until <SLND> is displayed and press <ENTER>.
6. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to choose the desired setting:
o
<SL1> to run in normal slave mode.
o
<SL2> to run in reverse slave mode.
7. Press <ENTER> to confirm.
7.5 DMX Mode
This mode allows you to control the fixture by any universal DMX controller.
•
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the signals.
This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to the DMX
controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of devices or an individual address can
be set for every device.
• When all devices have the same address, all the units will “listen” to the control signal on one particular
channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices simultaneously. If you
set individual addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel number. Changing the settings of
one channel will only affect the device in question.
• In case of the 9-channel VDPL4300SC, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1 (CH1~9),
the second to 10 (1 + 9) (CH10~18), the third to 19 (10 + 9) (CH19~27), and so on.
• In case of the 20-channel VDPL4300SC, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1
(CH1~20), the second to 21 (1 + 20) (CH21~40), the third to 41 (21 + 20) (CH41~60), and so on.
To set the device to work with a DMX controller:
1. Press <MENU> until <CHND> is displayed and press <ENTER>.
2. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select the 9 or 20 channel DMX mode and press <ENTER> .
3. Press <MENU> until <Addr> is displayed and press <ENTER>.
4. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to set the DMX starting address (A001 ~ A512) and press <ENTER>.
Note: in DMX mode, after using the menu, you may have to unplug and re-plug the DMX cable for correct
operation.
