5. Setup
5.1 Physical Installation
The light bar can be mounted using the adjustable brackets provided. Ensure the mounting surface is stable and capable of supporting the fixture's weight. The brackets allow for various angles and orientations.
Figure 5.1: Adjustable brackets. This image highlights the adjustable brackets, indicating their flexibility for mounting the light bar at different angles.
5.2 Power and DMX Connections
Connect the provided power cable to the "Power IN" port on the light bar and then to a suitable power outlet. For DMX control, connect a DMX cable from your DMX controller's output to the "DMX IN" port on the first light bar. To daisy-chain multiple units, connect a DMX cable from the "DMX OUT" of the first unit to the "DMX IN" of the next unit. Power can also be daisy-chained using the "Power OUT" port.

6. Operating Modes
The ENDYSHOW LED Stage Pixel Light Bar offers several operating modes, selectable via the onboard LED display and buttons.
6.1 DMX Control Mode
This mode allows external control via a DMX512 controller. The light bar supports multiple DMX channel modes (3, 5, 8, 90, 94 channels) to suit various control requirements. Refer to the DMX channel chart in the appendix (if available in physical manual) for specific channel functions. Set the DMX address on the light bar using the LED display and buttons to match your controller's settings.

6.2 Automatic Modes
The light bar includes several pre-programmed automatic modes that cycle through various colors and effects without external input. These modes are ideal for quick setup and general ambient lighting.
6.3 Sound Activated Mode
In this mode, the light bar reacts to ambient sound, changing colors and patterns in sync with music or other audio inputs. Adjust the sensitivity if necessary using the onboard controls.
Figure 6.2: Sound Activated Mode. The image shows the light bar displaying dynamic color patterns, synchronized with a musical performance, indicating its sound-activated functionality.
6.4 Master/Slave Mode
Connect multiple light bars using DMX cables. Designate one unit as the "Master" and the others as "Slave" units. The slave units will then mirror the master unit's operations, allowing for synchronized lighting effects across multiple fixtures.
Figure 6.3: Master-Slave Mode. This image depicts two light bars working in unison, demonstrating how multiple units can be synchronized for a cohesive light show.
