You can also use the optional MINI/C Remote Control. If you want
to use the optional remote control, connect the MINI/C controller
to the first fixture in the line (master).
Note: The remote control only operates in Stand-Alone and Master/
Slave modes. If the remote is connected in DMX mode it will not
function.
If
the
units
do
not
receive
an
active
DMX
signal,
the
units will automatically react to sound in the Master/Slave mode.
DMX Mode:
This fixture will react with DMX
operation. For best results use only
one

each
scene

step),
when
programming
scenes into a DMX controller

This will give you faster mirror and faster
gobo/color changes. For Example:
A. With DMX controller move the mirror up then program the step.
B. Move the mirror down then program that step.
C. Change the gobo/color wheel then program that step.
D. Continue this pattern to achieve best results.
