4.2 Synchronous control of multiple
spotlights (master / slave mode)
Multiple ODC-100 / RGB and PARC-100 / RGB (also
a combination of both) may be connected . The
master unit can then control all slave units in sync .
1) Connect the spotlights via their DMX jacks to
a chain . Please refer to chapter 4 .3 .1 "Con-
nection", ignoring step 1 .
2) The units that are to be controlled by the mas-
ter unit must be defined as slave units:
a) Press the button MENU repeatedly until the
highest menu level has been reached .
b) Press the button UP or DOWN repeatedly
until the display indicates
c) Press the button ENTER and then use the
button UP or DOWN to select:
= master unit
= slave unit
3) Any sequences of scenes that have been
stored on the master unit (chapter 4 .1 .5) may
be copied to the slave units:
a) On the master unit, press the button MENU
repeatedly until the highest menu level has
been reached .
b) Press the button UP or DOWN repeatedly
until the display indicates
c) Press the button ENTER . The display indi-
cates
.
d) Press the button UP or DOWN repeatedly
until the display indicates
e) Press the button ENTER so that the display
indicates four entry positions ( . . . .) . Then
press the following buttons:
UP, DOWN, UP, DOWN .
Each time one of these buttons is pressed,
an asterisk ( ) will appear on the display .
f) Press ENTER to start copying . During copy-
ing, the spotlight lights up in yellow . If an
error occurs, the spotlight will light up in
red . Upon successful completion, the spot-
light will light up in green .
g) To switch on the operation mode desired,
press the button MENU so that the display
indicates
and DOWN to select the operating mode
and then press ENTER to activate it .

4.3 Operation with a DMX controller

DMX is short for Digital Multiplex and means
digital control of multiple DMX units via a com-
mon control line . For operation via a DMX con-
troller (e . g . DMX-1440 or DMX-510USB from
IMG STAGE LINE), the spotlight is equipped with
10 DMX control channels . However, it can, if re-
quired, also be controlled via 5, 4 or 3 channels
only . Please refer to chapter 4 .3 .5 for more in-
formation on channel functions and DMX values .

4.3.1 Connection

For DMX signal transmission, special cables should
be used (e . g . CDMXN-... from IMG STAGE LINE) .
For cable lengths exceeding 150 m or for control
of more than 32 units via a single DMX output, it
is generally recommended to insert a DMX level
matching amplifier (e . g . SR-103DMX) .
1) Connect the input DMX IN to the DMX output
of the light controller or to the DMX output
of another DMX-controlled unit .
the plug (C) of the cable DMX IN to the inline
jack (D) of the supplied cable equipped with
an XLR plug . Then fasten the nut to secure
this connection .

unit .
2) Connect the output DMX OUT to the DMX
input of the second DMX unit . Connect the
output of the second DMX unit to the input
of the third DMX unit etc . until all DMX-con-
trolled units have been connected in a chain .
the units are too short when interconnecting
multiple ODC-100 / RGB spotlights, use suitable
extension cables, e . g .
ODP-34DMX
ODP-34DMX / 10 length: 10 m
3) To prevent interference in signal transmission,
in case of long cables or a multitude of units
connected in series, terminate the DMX output
of the last DMX unit in the chain with a 120 Ω
resistor (> 0 .3 W): Connect a corresponding
