Connecting your LCPRO MKII Show Strobe 1K to a DMX control device enables advanced programming and control. Here's how to properly connect it, referencing the user manual:
-
DMX Cable Connection: Use a DMX cable to establish the connection. Connect the DMX in cable (male 5-pin XLR) from the LCPRO MKII to your DMX data link and the DMX out cable (female 5-pin XLR) to the next fixture, or terminate it if it's the last fixture in the chain. When using the fixture outdoors, ensure you use IP-rated XLR connectors.
-
DMX Control Device Setup: Make sure your DMX controller is configured to communicate with the LCPRO MKII Show Strobe 1K. The fixture is controlled via DMX channels; the number of channels used depends on the selected DMX mode.
-
DMX Addressing: Each LCPRO MKII unit requires a unique DMX start address. Check the main screen on the fixture to view the current address. To modify the address, use the up and down arrow buttons. Press Enter to save the setting.
-
Setting DMX Mode: Through the control panel, choose the DMX mode that offers the control options you need. Confirm your selection by pressing Enter.
-
Configuring DMX Channels: Based on the DMX mode you've chosen, set up the DMX channels to control various functions such as tilt, intensity, color dimmers, and strobe effects of your LCPRO MKII Show Strobe 1K. Following these steps ensures your LCPRO MKII Show Strobe 1K integrates seamlessly with your DMX control system.
