In automatic mode the internal programs run at the chase time pre-recorded. It is your choice to enable each fixture to run in Stand Alone mode by activating either of the two functions below or to proceed to enable slave fixtures as described in the following section.

Operating in a DMX Control mode environment gives the user the greatest flexibility when it comes to customizing or creating a show. You can tailor your programming to suit a specific event. Whether it is a wedding where a spot light may be required or a lead singer requiring a color solo, the opportunities are endless. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of the fixture independently.
