It's in the paper that came with the unit. Channel 1 is intensity and strobe, then RGB, 4 channels total.

Zee question is whether your DMX is on RS-485. DMX is a protocol that can sit on top of all manner of cabling. If it's DMX E1.11, it might work. I've been using it for Modbus/RTU devices and it works well.

In a band situation it might be difficult. When I use the lights for a band I pre-program them to DMX so I have exactly what I want. When I'm DJing, I find the best spot to mount them is near the sub so they're more active to the beat rather than the vocals. One option you might have is if you could send a completely separate stage monitor to be next to the light stand and only have the bass guitar or kick drum sent to this monitor. Adjust the sensitivity to that.

No, the extra wire that you see actually has the IR receiver on the end of it. You need line of sight between the remote and the end of that wire. The infrared controller is the only way to control the fixture. You cannot use a DMX controller. The IR remote however can control more than one light as long as you have line of sight for all your fixtures. All the lights will however display the same color/effect. If you want to have different colors or effects on different lights, you would need to shield the lights so that the IR signal was only reaching one light at a time. I have 8 of these. One remote controls 4 lights, and the other 4 need a different controler. Apparently they came from different batches and some use a different IR frequency than others, so I would recommend buying all you need at the same time. Also, if using a color changing effect, not all lights will change colors at exactly the same time. Some are a little faster than others so they get out of sync. The timing device used to control the color change macros is not very precisie.

Ive nevr tried it on a dmx board. But I know they work with light jockey but i still had to tweek the profile.

Glad I could help. I've had a few problems with this particular product myself, and actually had to return the first one I got because the sides were just two flat pieces of plastic, and the control panel and DMX ports hadn't been installed. It sounds like maybe this design could have been done a little better, but hopefully you'll have more luck than I did with it.

Yes. You can set different blinking/light changing modes without dmx, but don't expect it to sync up with the music perfectly.

I will setting mine up with a dimmer pack for the first time in a couple days. What software are you using? Im running QLS on one system and Freestyler on another.

Any DMX cable will work Even XLR is no problem. Not sure if that's the answer you were looking fot. It's 3 pin DMX. I have 9 of these particular Pars. No problem thus far.

Master slave has never been a problem for me. I've never run them DMX because it isn't feasible for my purposes. If you do try master slave, then you'll need IEC male to female power cords for the links.

It's only for controlling leds in 3 channel mode . You need a full size dmx controller for the led moving heads

Hi Allan, It does not work with just any DMX controller. It requires a controller that supports 4 or more channels per device. 3 Channels will not work because either you get to set the RGB colors ( 3 channels) but then you can't make them bright or dim (4th channel). Larry has a 3 channel DMX controller which leaves one of the 4 channels out making the lights not to operate correctly. Either you miss one color... or you can't set the brightness and strobe on or off.

You should be able to install the interface itself on as many computers as you want. I think the only limitation you might run into would be from the lighting software you use. I use Freestyler DMX (which works great with this interface), and it's free.

Try using different DMX channel modes on the lights. Some lights default to 7 channel mode, but the lighting controller wants them to be in 4 channel mode, for example.

Get a DMX terminator and put on the DMX output of the last one in the chain.

You're going to have to set one to either dmx setting, and then set the rest of them in slave mode, and hook them all up with dmx cables and connect it to your controller

I use it with freestyle of Sunlite. Had no problem with it. I have not used it with any other software. I believe it should work...
