e. Stand-Alone Mode
In stand-alone mode, your VDP575SC8M2 can be used without controller. The scanner is equipped with a built-in
microphone which allows a sound-controlled operation. Select the "Master mode" to use this function.
f. Master/Slave Mode
This operation mode allows all slave devices to operate synchronously with the master device. Connect the DMX out
of one device to the DMX in of the next using a cable with XLR jacks. Set the master device to "No DMX sound" or
"No DMX auto". Set the address of all slave devices to 1.
g. DMX Mode
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the signals. This start
address is the channel number from which the device starts to "listen" to the DMX controller. Enter the correct
number and read it from the display located on the base of the VDP575SC8M2.
You can use the same starting address for a whole group of devices or enter an individual one for every device.
When all devices have the same address, all the VDP575SC8M2s 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
different addresses, each device will "listen" to a separate channel number. Changing the settings of one channel will
only affect the device in question.
In the case of the 8-channel VDP575SC8M2, you will have to set the start address of the first VDP575SC8M2 to 1,
the second VDP575SC8M2 to 9 (1 + 8), the third to 17 (9 + 8) and so on.
