4.4. LED Operation
LED Function
If you have a large-scale performance, mainly use computer software or dmx controller
to control lights, and you are worried will have one or more DMX signal cables dam-
aged to lead to the program run automatically, resulting in light run around. At this time,
you expect the lights automatically exterminate (black), then please following below
step to set.
Press MENU button to
(led on), choose
(led off), then press MENU but-
ton to choose
(Standby function), after finished above action does not affect the
operation of the DMX control, when the DMX signal appears abnormal, the device will
jump to standby function automatically (black out).
4.5. DMX Controller or PC software
In the case of large-scale performances with ledwalls composed of many SOUNDSA-
TION MTR-25-10W-RGBW units where you are willing to control each pixel, you must
have a DMX controller or a DMX Lighting Control Software (not included) able to man-
age a large number of channels simultaneously. Note that each module, when used in
this mode, requires 75 DMX channels; therefore, in the case of 16 modules ledwall, the
control system has to manage 1200 DMX channels at one time.
Taking into account that an equipment such as this is always used in combination with
other fixtures and ambient effects (moving heads, smoke machines, strobe lights, etc.),
it is then evident that the DMX controller must have 4 or even 8 simultaneous DMX512
outputs. In the market, there are many professional DMX controllers as there are many
software able to handle such huge numbers of DMX signals.
