Multiple VX10 and VX20 wings can be connected to your computer.
Note: The QX and VX products are designed to be powered from the USB port on our computer.
However due to the design of some computers or your particular configuration, there may not be
enough power to operate the VX products. If you experience problems in the installation process,
first try a different USB port on your computer or try powering the VX10 with an external power
supply or if you have a VX20, plug it into the mains supply. If you still experience problems,
check the LSC website or contact your local dealer.
Note that the DMX output has to be patched in Clarity before it will work. See section 11.12 for
details.
