Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How many of these can be Daisy chained at once?

A: The Blizzard SPOTMAN 30W Mini Moving Spot Fixture uses up to 11 dmx channels. So, it depends on how many channels the DMX controller has as to how many you can daisy chain. But you should not really go more than 32 at the most.

Q: 2. Will this work with a Chauvet DJ DMX-4LED 4-Channel Dimmer Pack?

A: Yes. If the lights you own do not have built-in DMX, then you may use the CHAUVET DJ DMX-4LED 4-Channel Dimmer Pack with the Elation Professional SDC12 12-Channel Basic DMX Controller for your usage needs, allowing you to adjust the light output from the ground.

Q: 3. New to DMX and their related equipment. The specs for the Elation says it has 1 master dimmer fader and 6 faders. I have 5 LED panels and I want to control each one separately for brightness and color temp. I believe that means I need 10 faders - right? Does that mean I would need two Elation Controllers? Is there another simple/basic option that would allow me to support all of my LED panels via one DMX controller? I don't need fancy programming or preset options.

A: No. The following unit offers six faders which control channels 1-6 and 7-12.

Q: 4. For band use, could this be used to spotlight at least the top half of a musician?

A: 100% the following unit can be used in any high-end production environment.

Q: 5. What is the TM-30-18 or SSI index score on this light model compared to a daylight (5600K) and tungsten light source, 3200K?

Q: 6. Is this unit capable of properly dimming LED bulbs?

A: The Elation Professional CyberPak Dimmer Power Pack (B&H# ELCYBERPACK) is capable of dimming dimmable LED lamps (also known as bulbs) properly. The first person to answer this question mentioned LED dummies (i.e. adding a small load on the circuit to drain the capacitors/transformers) and also that the LEDs won't flicker when off, suggesting that they could flicker when on. To clarify, since LED dummies would only be needed if your LEDs aren't going completely black as quickly as you want when you dim to zero or shut off the circuit. If you are experiencing trouble with LED flicker then you will want to use them at full power or invest in LEDs that can handle this type of dimmer or switch to an LED dimmer.

Q: 7. Would Chauvet Intimidator 350s fit in this case?

Q: 8. Can it work with donner's wireless receivers?

A: This device is compatible with E-Fly products.

Q: 9. Im new to DMX controllers. How does this control multiple lights with only one or two outputs?

A: The idea with DMX512 is to have one cable run (from controller into first light and out from 1st light into second light and out of second into 3rd etc. So that would explain the single output. The SDC12 is used for very basic either testing of units or simple manual control over the fixtures via the faders essentially sending a signal to lights from0-100% activating the features of the light being controlled. If used with an RGB color mixing pars in 3 channel mode fader one for example would dim the R or red channel from 0-100% the second fader would control Green and third control Blue allowing you to mix these colors producing different colors mixing the colors at different levels. For a programmable controller you may want to look at the ADJ DMX Operator. I hope this helps?

Q: 10. If I turn off this console, will the connected lights turn off as well?
