Press menu until you get to D001. Press up until you se D009 and press enter. Some fixtures are sold as a 7 ch or 6ch, the seller doesn't know the difference. I have 12 3ch units and now that some are breaking I can't find the only 3ch units. And the 7ch units that can be set to 3ch will reset when the power is cycled. Cheap lights. Good luck

No I can't install the driver that came with the dmx cord. I work on alot of computers too I know how to install software & drivers.

It's only for controlling leds in 3 channel mode . You need a full size dmx controller for the led moving heads

Well in order to make the board work, you will need some sort of dimming system. These boxes can be used as dimmers.If you want to control any sort of halogen or NON-COMPUTERIZED fixture you will need dimmer packs. Otherwise you can hook the DMX cable right to the board and go straight to your DMX lights.

Not necesarily. You can use it as automatic or configure them to just one color or pretty much anything you want. DMX is not needed

Use software such as freestyler with DMX USB or other controller and it can do that. The DMX decoder alone will only allow test modes.

Our LED flashes RED all the time and have never seen a Green LED. However using Light Boogie we did get the USB-DMX controller to work and control lamps - but not with FreeStyle. Using FTDi drivers with our own app have not been successful either even though the USB device is recognized. Since there is basically no support information that is available we can not recommend this product if you don't use the exact application stated.

This unit is not artnet compatible. You'll need a true DMX interface controller.Also, one of mine didn't work at all and had to be returned.

The best answer I can give you is .... maybe... I ditched mine after 3 videos because it is very difficult to get even lighting. I went with LED's. You can try it, and if you have the patience you should be able to pull it off. You do get 3 lights and you'll need all 3.

For our application at the church that i pastor we chose to go with the myDMX software package and adapter which we got at Amazon as well. Reason being it appeared to be far more expandable than a traditional lighting board. It was very simple to get them up and running with a couple of basic scenes. I just chose a light profile (I used a generic one. They didn't have these in the list but I emailed support and they are creating a profile) dragged it over to the lighting scene setup which btw, told me each light address so i could set the corresponding light and then I just moved each slider to the color that i wanted. The generic profile only gave me 3 channels but I really didn't need strobing or anything fancy yet til i get the profile from support. Are you using software or a physical light board? I hope this helps. If I can help more please let me know.

hmmm. I guess I would start with making sure the channels are matching the sliders. Are those the only lights you have connected to your controller or do you have others?

The Mega Par Profile has 8 more LEDs each. The Mega Par Profile is a little smaller in size. These two lights will work fine together if connected via DMX and a DMX controller. Light output should be pretty close to the same.

To see how it works with 3 lights check out the youtube video 'Triple Threat Real Deal Review'. Don't know if urls will show up here, but here it is. --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0Ut1OKiaWk

Are you trying to get two dimmers to mirror each other? If so, just set them both to the same DMX address. Assuming of course, you are using a DMX controller, and not using the onboard "program" settings (this item will not work as a controller).

Mine don't work at all with DMX. That's the flaw with these Chinese made lights. Also why they're so cheap! What I do is set one to do whatever (strobe, fade, react to audio) with no controller and the rest I set to slave and that works. I just wish the DMX controller would work. Bah.

If it uses a standards based DMX connection, yes it should work. The Freestyle software that comes with it lets you create your own code sequences to align with the controls your lights use. I have been using mine with several different Chauvet models very successfully.

This unit does have the ability to strobe via a DMX controller. I however wouldn't recommend using it as a "strobe light". A strobe light is more of a an instantaneous on/off wash effect that would fill a room or area with intense light. The 4Play creates a moonflower pattern and is not a anywhere close to a wash or in your case a strobe light. I would suggest the Chauvet Impulse 648 LED Strobe Panel or the Chauvet Techno Strobe 168 LED Strobelight depending on the application.
