The Crystalizer can be controlled by DMX signal, simply connect the DMX signal source to the DMX input on the unit via a balanced XLR lead. Extra fixtures can be controlled by the same DMX signal by looping through the DMX out on the unit. To enter DMX mode, select A001 from the menu and confirm the correct start address by using the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons and “ENTER”. The A on the LED display will begin to flash once it’s received the DMX signal from the controller. This unit has 16 DMX channels as indicated in the table below:
