• For functionality that chases to sound: Access the “Function” menu and
select the “Music Control” function, this will give you access to the “Music
Control” submenu. See page 25 for the menu breakdown. Once in the
“Music Control” submenu select “Alone”
12.2 Master-Slave Operation (Auto Program or Music Control): This function allows
up to 16 fixtures to be linked together to provide a synchronized light show without
the use of a controller. Only use this when linking several Design Beam 1200C
together for use without a controller. Any fixture can act as a “Master or a “Slave.”
• Using DMX cables, daisy chain your fixtures together. See “Understanding
DMX Section 8/Page 18.
• For the unit functioning as the “Master” unit follow the same procedures
listed in the previous section “Stand-Alone section.
• For the “Slave” units, access the “Set To Slave” settings in the “Function
Mode” menu and assign each slave fixture a designation (Slave 1, Slave 2,
Slave 3…etc).
12.3 Universal DMX Control: This function allows you to use a universal DMX-512
controller such as the Elation® Show Designer 2™ or Elation® Show Designer 3™ to
control head movement, the color wheel, the shutter (stro be), and all other DMX traits.
A DMX controller allows you to create unique programs tailored to your individual
needs. The Design Beam 1200C™ uses 21 DMX channels. See page 45 for detailed
description of the DMX traits. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up
procedures beginning on page 18 as well as the set-up specifications that are included
with your DMX controller. Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture
traits. This will allow you to create your own programs.
• Follow the instruction on page 33 to set the DMX address.
• Be sure to use a terminator on the last fixture, especially for longer cable
runs (more than a 100 feet).
• For help operating in DMX, consult the user manual that came with your
DMX controller.
