thanks!

Can you teach me i want to connect to sounds

thanks!

You're welcome! I work for a local tv station here as well, we do on-air promo. Glad to be of help man, cheers!

Thanks!

Glad it helped you! Enjoy playing with lights!

good luck mate!

😀

glad it helped you out!

You're welcome!

You're welcome!

You're welcome!

cheers!

Thank you for watching!

Thanks! I think with this controller you are limited to 6 chases. I could be wrong. I am now experimenting with QLC+. With that you will definitely can have more chases 🤓

Yes you can. Set the controller up at arms length so it would be easy to press anytime you need it 👍

@@edwinubod0405 👍👍

Glad it helped! 😊

I think the chauvet model has midi output but this generic oem does not. 🤓

Yes my math is really bad 🤣

Yep thats why the control of the other fixture is different

thank you!

Thank you!

I'm not sure what that switch does mate 🙂

:)

Thanks!

thank you!

glad it helped you out!

Thanks!

thanks for watching! fadetime is only for when you are just playing the programs manually and not chases i think...did you download the chauvet manual? you can also refer to that. cheers!

@@DJDLS i use the fade time with my chase and it looks really good. The fade should be working with the speed

@@blackhole-oy2xd yeah that works too :) cheers!

Thanks!

copy-pasted from the video description: This controller is very similar to the Chauvet Obey 40 and other units with the same form factor. You can download their manual for more information.

Thanks. The programming is in the controller. If you switch the dmx off then the programming will stop working.

🙂

welcome bro :)

Hi fpv, this is just a beginner's guide on how to program the controller. It has a sound sensor enabling it to sync to the sound of any song as long as you play it loud enough. You can program what you want for each light to do depending on what your light can do, assign them to channels and play those channels randomly or sequentially or by using the built in mic to sync with sound.

thanks!

got these from lazada shorturl.at/mvOU5

hope it helps!

Same with the PAR leds. Assign a DMX address on the moving head, and select that channel on the controller. If you don't have the manual for your light fixture, then see what each slider does.

🙂👍

i dont think you can. you have to program it then run your sequence.

If your laser did not come with a manual, then you would just have to do trial and error to find out which channels can be manipulated by sliding the channel Sliders up and down.

@@DJDLS thanks il have to have a look, was something about rgb addresses, had it doing some cool stuff but can never find them again, if I store a pattern, would it still save to memory when its been shut down, and back on, be having a go again later see if can me head around it, thanks for the tutorial

@@johnallerton6402 yes it will be saved in its internal memory :)

what sort of problems are you having?

check if you are in program mode

@@DJDLS I got it, thank you.

Glad it helped you out 🤓

Checked where i bought it. Link's dead now 😑

1) you can control them as you program your sequences as you will have to have fast hands to be able to shift from page A to page B just to access channels from each page if you are playing it live. 2) the 512 could be for branding purposes only :D 3) i think the fader assignments are dependent on the fixture and the controller is just there to read them :)

@@DJDLS thank you so much for your answer :)

I have not explored that possibility yet. Maybe the Chauvet branded unit does have a midi port.

Yes of course!

Thanks! Scannera usually have a mirror setting on them.

@@DJDLS I was lucky that ADJ's website still has an archive page for this long discontinued fixture and I was able to download the manual and sadly it doesnt say anything about mirroring. These lights came out in '98/99 so they are quite old. One thing said they art 4 channel another that they are 7, and that claim was explained by the diagram showing what each of the 7 ch controls via the faders. But I hooked them up to the controller again last night with one set at address 1 and the other set at 5 incase they were 4ch, then address 8 in case they were 7 and address 17 since alot of tutorials said you always set the dmx address at increments of 16 but I was only able to control the fixture connected directly to the controller. When I randomly decided to set the 2nd scanner also to address 1 then it began working and it was basically just copying fixture 1 but seemed to be a fraction of a second out of sync. Also the only only time they actually move around after I chose a color and gobo and adjusted the pan/tilt is when I have the 6th fader(which controls the speed) all the way up which is it's "audio mode" even though no music was playing, but if I move it down even the slightest amount to what is supposed to be a "fast" setting they stop moving.

for Group1Fix1=1 then Group1Fix2=2, i'm assuming this fixture only has one mode, maybe a haze machine for example just to turn it on or off? then Group1Fix2=2 has 16 modes or parameters that is why you assigned Group2Fix1= to address 17? then yes you can i think. as i did the same to my haze machine, assigned it to button 12 and gave it the address after adding all the addresses assigned to buttons 1 thru 11.

​@@DJDLS I'm not getting it clearly.. Im not an expert... Uhm.. let me change my question... If I have 3 fixtures, can I assign those three to 001? I mean the address of those three are the same?

@@darny12 yes you can, best if those are the same fixtures, like 4 par leds maybe. Check out my lights demo video on the link below

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9N_gdKClbPXYHk.html

All the par leds up top have the same addresses but assigned to buttons 1 to 4 on the dmx so you can control them at once or individually. So all are assigned 001 on the back of each light. Next are the mini moving heads, assigned addresses are both 017 and set to buttons 5 and 6 on the dmx.

i think you need to press enter on the par light to register the new 'd' setting.

@@DJDLS I'm pretty sure I did that, but I also know I overlook things. I suppose that would also be true if I had 8 mini LED PAR lights daisy-chained and I simply forgot to hit ENTER on just one of them? Also, in this example, I could give four daisy-chained PAR lights the addresses of 001, 001, 001, 001 -- OR -- 001, 017, 033, 049? Each PAR light doesn't have to have a unique address, but PAR lights can be "grouped" if they have the same address? Much appreciated! I'm a parent volunteer trying to light a school skit and no one else to help!

@@jbrondos i have not tried daisy-chaining with same addresses, but to make sure and to have more flexibility later on giving you independent control should you need to, then do the 16 increments per light. Does the 'd' blinking only happening with one light or all of them? No worries mate just ask away and i will help as much as i can 😊👍

@@DJDLS This is a HUGE help, thanks. So after playing around a bit more this is what I'm experiencing: When I disconnect the PARs from the DMX512 controller, the "d" in front of the three-digit DMX address is solidly lit. When I plug in the DMX cable, it starts blinking rapidly. There is no switch on the controller which would reverse polarity. I am using DMX cables. I have powered lights and controller off and on in various sequences. (The number in the controller LED is 120.) The blinking happens even if I just have one PAR light connected to the controller, but also if I have all the lights in the daisy chain connected (and when daisy-chained, the group is properly terminated). I've tried resetting scenes and chases holding down arrow and program (or down arrow and add) buttons simultaneously. I don't know if there is some other way to factory reset the board. But bottom line, the PARs will not respond to the lighting control board -- though at one time they did. I'm stumped and hoping the controller hasn't gone bad (out of warranty).

@@jbrondos the controller is cheap to replace mate. But try using a different set of cables, or try an xlr mic cable on one light just to test.

i think that is the limit. you can set the fixture if there is an option to just 16.

@@DJDLS but then why is it called a DMX512 if there is no way to go beyond 177? Wouldn't that be a DMX177?

I have no idea man sorry 😊

I think dmx512 is the name of this lighting protocol. You can have a max 512 channels in a dmx universe but this type of controller only has 192 available channels. Other controllers can have more. You can add other fixtures with a duplicate address but they will mirror the original fixture, assuming they have the same capabilities.

yes

I don't know about the timer. Mine does not do that.

@@DJDLS idk either. I mean I haven't programmed any settings to it yet. Maybe that could be it? BTW great video bro. You got a new subscriber.

@@Brandon-py5xt see what happens if you do a hard reset. Thanks for the sub!

It depends on how many channels your moving heads have. You can assign both to 001 so you can troubleshoot using the sliders to see what they do.

@@DJDLS thanks I got the light to turn on. One more question how do I go through the gobos using it?

Am new to using it

that i am not sure, i have not used a fixture with gobos yet. @@joshrodrigues5310

if your light fixture came with a manual, there should be information there that will tell you what channels can be controlled (if there are any). the lights in my example, being really cheap ones, did not come with a manual so i just had to do trial and error to figure out what channels are controllable. i also have a cheap red/green laser and it allows me to control only the on/off for both colors and the shape of the patterns it can make. i have one light fixture that do not have any controllable channels at all. so before buying a fixture, ask the seller for more information or search online if there is a manual you can read and download before buying the light. cheers!

hi, i'm assuming when you referred to the table, you meant the dmx controller on my table right? yes you can, but since the dmx controller only has one output, you can only control that one fixture. if you wish to add more fixtures, you would need to loop out from your first light the next one. hope this helps, cheers!

DJ DLS thankkk you!! :)))

yes for playing back sequences to the beat of your music :)

@@DJDLS HOW?

@@R4pToRxX press the music button and tap to the beat.

You can refer to the dmx address part of the video.

@@DJDLS Thanks, I saw it now.

Have you experienced sudden change of scene randomly? Every now and then our lights switch to a specific scene. This started when I add 4 new switch for our 4 floor lights.

@@ChiXhiZhi hard to troubleshoot your issue. I've never encounted that. But if it were me, i would start from scratch.

@@DJDLS no worries! I appreciate your response and the guide. Thanks sir!

thanks! glad it helped you out!

Mine does not have a sound input, just a built-in mic.

maybe you are in playback mode. try to change to a different scene number. i have not been using this device for a long time now, i created this video so if i need to use it again and forget things i can refer to this :)

@@DJDLS do you know how to exit program mode if I’m in it?

@@adamjohnson7554 it should be in this video tutorial.

Any other suggestions if that doesn’t work?

@@adamjohnson7554 do a hard reset.

Assign a dmx address and connect them via dmx cable. check the channel assignments from your moving heads manual.

i don't think it's possible here

@@DJDLS thanks for the response!

Not sure, there's lots of them out there and this is the one i can afford 😃

@@DJDLS thanks

It can run your programs to the speed you want or to the beat of the music.

That's a stress test right there too man 😂 thanks for watching! ❤️🙂

Glad it helped you. Got mine from Raon, Quiapo. Brand is Big Dipper.

Thank you po for the reply@@DJDLS. I've been trying to look for a disco ball like that sa mga Lazada stores kaso wala po, kahit sa flagship store ng big dipper (coz I'm from Visayas). Does it come with a remote control po ba?

@@ludylynalmine5545 yung sa akin walang remote na kasama.

Tnx po for the info@@DJDLS . Sayang lang po kasi it seems like out of stock na yung item sa big dipper store. I would prefer it over the ones with remote control.

@@ludylynalmine5545 yes big dipper dapat. Mas maliwanag at siguradong makokontrol ng dmx.

Abot pa naman ng wireless dmx yan. Pero mas reliable siguro kung wired.

Anong kalase ilaw sir?

@@reyanrico2817 kahit ano basta may dmx control function.

Yes, you just have to figure out how many channels your moving light has and what each channel does. Check your light fixture manual or if you don't have one then just test each slider and see what it does.

@@DJDLS thanks , yes it doesn't have the manual ...I bought them from second hand shop. Do you know how to check or treat moving light that has not been used for along time?

@@arilordaccount9152 i would plug it in and see if it works mate :)

@@DJDLS will do that..thanks mate

My bad mate, I'm not good at maths lol

I failed math lol 😂🤣

Merci

👍

Ok!

🤓 I'm bad at math

@@DJDLS but it should not work if you set it to the wrong address - my experience

Also can you explain what the difference is between dmx 192 and dmx 512?

@@AndysKitchen it still worked but the channels were offset. Maybe that's why the same par lights had different slider assignments 🙂 thanks for pointing that out.

@@AndysKitchen this i don't know the asnwer to. I just based what i shared in this video from chauvet's equivalent controller's user guide, which you can get from their site.

dalawa yun, transmitter saka receiver. yung receiver pwedeng isa lang papunta sa t-stand mo tapos series mo ng dmx cables the rest of your fixtures.

ibig sabihan mula sa dmx controller isang transmitter tapos sa ilaw isang transmitter din?

@@reyanrico2817 yes bro.

Could be the power brick it came with?

@@DJDLS Yea that could be it im just getting a new one

@@prdshock254 good luck!

@@DJDLS Thanks Have a good night/day

i still refer to this whenever i forget somethng lol :) thanks!
