DMX Connection
The Ovation B-2805FC will work with a DMX controller using a 3- or 5-pin DMX
data connection. A DMX Primer is available from www.chauvetprofessional.com.
Art-Net™
Connection
Art-Net™ is an Ethernet protocol that uses TCP/IP which transfers a large amount
of DMX512 data using an Neutrik® etherCON® RJ45 connection over a large
network. An Art-
Net™ protocol document is available from
www.chauvetprofessional.com.
Chauvet Professional recommends using unicast
Art-Net™ for best results.
Art-Net™ designed by and copyright Artistic Licence Holdings Ltd.
sACN
Connection
Also known as ANSI E1.31, Streaming-ACN is an Ethernet protocol that uses the
layering and
formatting of Architecture for Control Networks to transport DMX512
data over IP or any other ACN compatible network. ACN is maintained by the
Professional Lighting and Sound Association (PLASA).

Management)
Remote Device Management, or RDM, is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled
devices to communicate bi-
directionally along existing DMX cabling. The
Ovation B-
2805FC supports RDM protocol that allows feedback to monitor
temperature and changes to DMX Address and DMX Channel

Virtual
Color Wheel
The Ovation B-2805FC includes a feature called the Virtual Color Wheel (VCW). This
feature is available as a stand-alone control mode for manual use and also as a
control
channel in each of the products’ DMX personalities. Over thirty pre-
mixed colors based on
popular gel colors from are available to call up for easier programming. When manually
selecting the colors on the Virtual Color Wheel, the referenced gel n
umber appears on the
LED display for convenient selection and ease-of-use.
These formulas were developed to match a gelled tungsten lamp. When developing the
above formulas, the master dimmer on the Ovation B-2805FC
was adjusted to match
the gelled output of the t
ungsten fixture. Please note that due to the efficacy of the light
source, Virtual Color Wheel output may look different from the gelled equivalent on a
tungsten source at full intensity. The master dimmer v
alues may need to be adjusted to
match the tungsten fixture in the most saturated colors.

NOTICE: When operating in Fan Mode: Off, output of the fixture will be reduced and
will not reach the same levels aswhen using other fan modes.
WARNING: When operating in Fan Mode: Off, the fixture will become hotter to the touch
than when using other fan modes. Use proper protective equipment to prevent burns.
Keep a safe distance from flammable objects.
