Using the VR
You can use the VR in three ways:
DMX controlled mode, where you connect a controller such as the
•
Abstract CE controller or a standard DMX lighting desk to the VR and
control its movements yourself. This mode is best for live performance,
or if you want to have full control over the effects produced.
•
Light show mode, where the VR listens to the music and generates its
own complex lightshow. This mode is good when you want a quick and
impressive show, or if you don't have time to program or operate the
light show. If you have more than one VR, or if you have some Abstract
CE-range products, you can connect the VRs together to give a
synchronised show.
Run mode, where you can program up to 8 positions for the VR to run
•
through automatically. No external equipment is required for this mode.
DMX controlled mode
DMX is a digital control system where all the control channels are sent to all
the units. Each VR picks out 4 channels and responds only to those channels.
You can tell each VR which channels to respond to by setting the DMX channel
using the display. (See Options section for how to set the DMX channel).
Connecting the VR up for DMX control
All VRs are connected to the controller in a daisy-chain, one after the other,
using standard XLR microphone cables (twisted 2 core screened). The output
of the controller is connected to the first VR. The spare DMX connector on the
first VR is connected to the second VR, and so on.
The last VR in the line should have a terminating plug fitted in its spare DMX
connector. (The terminating plug has a 220 ohm resistor connected between
pins 2 & 3, and prevents data corruption on the line).
If you want independent control of your VR's, you should set the DMX channels
to different values on each unit. Set the first VR to 001, the second to 005, the
third to 009, the fourth to 013, and so on.
