IR Remote Overview

To use the IR remote, simply point the remote at the IR receiver on the lighting fixture. The IR receiver on the VividPar HEX 12 is located on the face with the LED lenses.

    In Auto mode, the light loops through various preprogrammed colors. To turn on Auto mode, press the Auto button, then press (+) or (-) to increase or decrease the speed of the program.

  • Sound
    Sound-Active mode enables the light to respond to ambient sounds in the room using the fixture’s built-in microphone. Press the Sound button to activate Sound-Active mode. Press (+) or (-) to increase or decrease sound sensitivity based on the playback level of the music.

  • Strobe
    In Strobe mode, the light will strobe while the button is pressed. To turn on Strobe mode, press and hold the Strobe button, this mode can be engaged while running other programs for added effect. When Strobe is released, the light will continue the previous operating program.

Operation

Using a DMX controller:

  • Use a DMX cable to connect your VividPar HEX 12 to the DMX in/out sockets on the bottom of the light

Light-3

Using Master/Slave Mode:
The Master/Slave mode allows a group of VividPar HEX 12 units (the slaves) to duplicate the output of another VividPar HEX 12 (the master) without a DMX controller

  1. Set each of the slaves:
  2. Go to SLNd in the main menu and press enter.
  3. Select SL1.
  4. Set the master:
  5. Go to SLNd in the main menu and press enter.
  6. Select NASt.

The master (NASt) is the unit that runs your program whether in one of the static color modes or various Auto programs.

Using Slave modes (SL1,SL2,SL3,SL4) to create a light show
Using 5 or more lights for best effect, VividPar HEX 12 can help create auto- light shows by setting lights in order from Master, SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4 and engaging Auto Programs on the Master fixture.

  1. Set each of the desired slaves SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4:
    • Go to SLNd in the main menu and press enter.
    • Select SL1.
    • Repeat steps for each slave fixture SL2, SL3, and SL4
  2. Set the master:
    • Go to SLNd in the main menu and press enter.
    • Select NASt.

For best effect, have lights connected in sequence from Master, to SL1, to SL2, to SL3, to SL4.
Accessing the (ShNd) programs on the Master light will now create varying displays of synchronized light on the master and slave fixtures through (Auto) and (SoUn) functions.
