What are the basic presets for the decoder? i.e. if you're using DMX, are you only going to get static colors and a dimmer unless you program a chase?

it has a test function that allows some modes, Red, Green, Blue,Yellow,Cyan,Magenta,white, Jump 3, jump 7,fade 3, fade 7 and the jumps and fades are speed adjustable. it does NOT output these modes via dmx(so you can't have the modes synced) and you can't trigger these modes via dmx. all in all its a great unit tho.

It's been a little bit since I used mine but I believe you're correct. It has several presets that you can let set and forget or you can option to use DMX in which case you'll need to program any effects.

You could set your dmx for a solid color but, I think this better as a dance light then a spot.

The pre-programmed effects include intermittent cloud cover and lightning effects, so if you select one of them, then you should get all those effects. The preprogrammed buttons are at the bottom of the remote.If you select your lighting with the buttons at the -top- of the remote, those are all steady-on, primarily color effects, that can be adjusted with the color buttons.If the bottom buttons are not producing the various flickering and dimming effects, then either your lighting unit or your remote is defective, and should be returned for replacement.

The skin tone flashing and auto dimming are two seperate things. My set had auto dim issues (screen going nearly black) and the first update took care of it. I still have the flashing issue, sometimes severe, and the updates do not fix it. Go to avsforum and search it, it's a huge issue with these sets. Type in "red flashing".

I only have experience using this remote with ADJ Profile Panel RGBs which will cycle through presets, blackout, and change strobe intensity. I can only assume it will work in a similar way if not exactly the same.

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?

should have a red and green light on if it is receiving signal correctly. make sure you have installed the software correctly that came with it and are using a compatible dmx software. also make sure you have selected the device as an output option within the dmx software

I would check your programmed settings in the dX6i, go directly from the 180qz manual. It is possible that the transmitter 'lost' the setting or it became corrupt. I assume the light doesn't even change color when you flip the switch on the dx6i?

you'll need some kind of USB - DMX interface http://www.amazon.com/Interface-Adapter-DMX512-Lighting-Controller/dp/B009B5MX0K for instance. (I use the enttec product) note this controller box (Keedox) simply dims the output voltage of the three + DC pins for output to a LED strip or fixture, you'll also need an input power supply (and of course the leds - I used something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Flexible-Changing-Ribbon-Ledwholesalers-2034rgb/dp/B00476B908/ and http://www.amazon.com/Ledwholesalers-Power-Suppply-Driver-Transformer/dp/B0034GUEY4 THEN you will also need an application to communicate to the interface, I use this: http://freestylerdmx.be/ because it's free and it works, there are a lot of programs out there that cost hundreds, many of them have free trials, so I tried them, and none worked as well as freestyler as far as I could tell... and there were some really expensive ones out there. As far as I could tell, the real pros who use DMX seem to rely on expensive DMX control boards (HOG, Whole HOG) and not use computers as much. but freestyler has let me put on some cool lightshows on my stage. (http://www.mosquitoe.net/music) also someone mentions this has ethernet ports - it doesn't, it's just a second set of sockets for wiring with RJ-45 plugs, and you cant use them both, one or the other only... DMX control cables come in both flavors and you can mix them in an environment... I think this box could actually transition from DMX to RJ45 but i never tried it.

The Obey is a DMX controller, so any DMX enabled device can be controlled by it. Additionally it has manual a fog port which equates to a 1/4" TRS jack for binary devices. Although it is only made for one device presumably, you may be able to string multiple together on this channel. Because the Mega Par Profile unit has DMX, the UV LED channel will be included in the 8 that are allocated to that device. Basic cans only use 3 of the 8 channels. One for Red, one for Blue, and one for Green. Yours will likely use one more for UV, although I am not familiar with this unit. After looking it up though I may be buying a pair :) Bear in mind that the Obey 40 is expecting to hand out groups of 8 channels, one for each slider on the faceplate, with the option of supporting dual bank (16 channels) on a single device and a "Bank" button to flip back and forth between channel sets. From the product specifications of that par can: - DMX-512 protocol - 5 DMX Channel modes: 4/5/6/9/10 channels - 5 Operational modes: RGB+UV Dimmer Mode, Sound Active Mode, Auto Run Mode, Static Color Mode, & DMX Controlled If you run this unit in 9 or 10 channel mode you would need to break out 16 channels (2 sets of 8 sliders,) and have 6 or 7 left unused. The other modes will all fit into a single bank of 8 channels. In short, yes. DMX controllers don't really care what is hooked up to their channels in the fixture. They are merely providing a control signal for the fixture to interpret however it sees fit to. What level of control is available and what goes on which channel is up to the fixture manufacturer, and is pretty much always included in the documentation that came with the unit. If it has DMX, it should be compatible.

I've used it only a few times with the dmx off. They change the colors and I think intensity.

This controller will only work with lights that have "3" channels. It will not work with any type of laser. You need a more sophisticated controller and dmx program to make the laser work properly. This controller is not for a laser.

My DMX by ADJ works great, can control each lights color and speed can be, sound activated or random strobe . The built in sound patterns are much better than the actions of the light alone. Runs my Dual Blaze Laser as well.

Hey, no lag and I've connect all three at once before. One night I think I may have had interference though because the lights would jump to a random setting then reset to my dmx controller. For the price I think they do a good job though.

Are these considered (addressable) strips? for instance if I get a DMX controller would I have control over each individual led? Im making a led display need to be able to adjust color/brightness of each pixel independently

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).

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.
