Profile Patching Examples

When using the Q25R2 in 10 pixel mode in Profile 1, each pixel is 5 DMX Channels.
The light would, therefore, require a total of 50 channels.

When using the Q25R2 in 2 pixel mode in Profile 1, each pixel is 5 DMX Channels.
The light would, therefore, require a total of 10 channels.

Example: Q25R2 - 2 Pixel Mode - Profile 1

Channel	Function	Pixel
Channel 1	Intensity	Pixel 1
Channel 2	Color Temp	Pixel 1
Channel 3	+/- Green	Pixel 1
Channel 4	Hue	Pixel 1
Channel 5	Saturation	Pixel 1
Channel 6	Intensity	Pixel 2
Channel 7	Color Temp	Pixel 2
Channel 8	+/- Green	Pixel 2
Channel 9	Hue	Pixel 2
Channel 10	Saturation	Pixel 2

How To

Lead/Follow Mode turns one R2 or RR light into a Lead unit — a wired or wireless Manual Mode controller for any R2 & RR lamps linked as Follow units. Specifically, the Lead unit directly assumes remote color and FX control of its Follow units.

To create dynamic effects across multiple linked units, the Follow feature has selectable slots from 1 to 8. These slots run the same effects, intensities, and levels as the Lead unit. Follow 1 matches the Lead Unit directly, while Follow 2 through 8 progressively offset effect timings across the 8 sets of linked units.

To set up this feature, within the Config Menu, navigate to the Lead/Follow menu and follow these steps:

1. In your chosen Lead unit R2/RR light to control the Follow units:

Set this mode to Lead.
The Data status LED will turn green to confirm your light as the Lead unit.

2. In each of your Follow unit R2/RR lights, set this mode to your desired Follow #:

Follow 1 matched the Lead Unit in effect timing.
Follow 2-8 progressively offset effect timing from Lead unit.

3. For wired linking:

Connect your Lead unit to the first desired Follow unit in the signal chain using a Cat5 or Cat6 cable. One cable end should go in the Lead Unit’s LAN 2/DMX OUT port, and the other end should go in the Follow Unit’s LAN 1/DMX IN port.
Connect your Follow units together from that first follow unit in similar fashion.
On the Follow units, the Data status LED will turn Cyan to confirm your light as a Follow unit.

4. For wireless linking:

On the Lead unit & all Follow units, navigate to the Wireless Mode config submenu, set to CRMX.
If the Wireless status LED flashes on your Follow units, press and hold the Link button to un-pair the Follow unit from searching for a prior Lead Unit.
On the Lead unit, tap the Link button to send the pairing signal. The Lead unit Wireless Status LED will start flashing. The Follow unit(s) Wireless Status LED will flash in unison.
On the Follow units, the Data status LED will turn Cyan to confirm your light as a Follow unit.
The Wireless status LED on ALL Lead & Follow units will turn Magenta to indicate your units are (Lead) transmitting or (Follow) receiving Wireless Lead/Follow Data.

5. Your Lead unit manual on-board controls will now directly control all linked Follow Units!
