- Power Connection: Connect the power cord to the 'POWER IN' port on the rear of the unit, then plug it into a suitable 110V AC grounded power outlet.
- DMX Connection (Optional): If using DMX control, connect a DMX cable from your DMX controller to the 'DMX IN' port. For multiple units, daisy-chain them using 'DMX OUT' to the next unit's 'DMX IN'.
6. Operating Modes
The GdjRttk Moving Head Light offers several operating modes, selectable via the LCD display and buttons:
- Auto Mode: The fixture runs through pre-programmed light shows automatically.
- Sound Activated Mode: The light effects respond to ambient sound, ideal for parties and events.
- Master-Slave Mode: Connect multiple units via DMX cables. Set one unit as 'Master' and others as 'Slave' to synchronize their operation without a DMX controller.
- DMX Mode: Provides full control over all fixture parameters using an external DMX512 controller.
7. DMX Control
For professional control, connect the fixture to a DMX512 controller. The unit supports 19 or 25 DMX channels, allowing precise manipulation of pan, tilt, color, strobe, and effect parameters.
