Synchronized Music Trig And Auto Trig Operation - Martin Mania EFX500 User Manual

DMX mode: In DMX mode, fixtures receive control instructions via the
serial data link. They will respond to control signals from a DMX controller
(or from another fixture set as master).
Sel ect ing DMX, music tr ig or aut o trig operati ng
modes
Fixtures are supplied set to DMX mode with DMX address set to 1. If you
intend to operate the fixture without a DMX controller, you need to set the
fixture to music trig or auto trig mode.
To switch between DMX, auto trig and music trig modes:
1. Apply power to the fixture and wait
while it resets. If the fixture is in DMX
mode, the display will show the
fixture's DMX address.
2. Press the [Mode] button once. The
fixture enters auto trig mode and
appears in the display.
3. Press the [Mode] button again once.
The fixture enters music trig mode,
and
4. Press the [Mode] button again once to
return to DMX mode. The fixture's
DMX address appears in the display.
The fixture will return to the mode you have set when it is powered off and
on.
If you set the fixture to music trig mode but it does not respond
satisfactorily to the music beat, adjust the music trig sensitivity level (see
"Adjusting music trig sensitivity" on page 23).

You can set multiple fixtures on a serial data link to respond together to a
music trig or auto trig signal from one fixture. This feature allows
synchronized operation without a DMX controller. The fixture sending the
signal is the 'master' fixture and the fixtures that receive the signal are the
'slave' fixtures.
Important! Set only one fixture as master: damage can occur if two masters,
or a master and a DMX controller, are linked.
