9. OPERATION

Operating Modes: The Power Spot 700CMY II™ can operate in three different modes.
This next section will detail the differences in the operating modes.
• Stand-alone mode - The fixture will react to sound, chasing through the built-in
programs.
• Master/Slave mode - You can daisy chain up to 16 fixtures together to get a
synchronized light show without the need of an external controller. The fixtures will react to
sound chasing to synchronized light show.
• DMX control mode - This function will allow you to control each individual fixtures traits
with a standard DMX-512 controller such as the Elation® Show Designer 2.

controller such as the Elation® DMX Operator II™ or Elation® Show Designer 2™ to

individual needs. The Power Spot 700CMY II™ uses 24 DMX channels. See page 36

various DMX fixture traits. This will allow you to create your own programs.
