This setup shows the combination of the Mirror Head
and a Media Server (e.g. MDC-X) that is capable of
Art-Net control, video playback and optional geometry
effects. For more information about controlling the Mirror
Head see the „Using and operations“ section.
This setup shows how the Mirror Head can easily be
integrated into DMX-Light Management (DMX512-XLR or
Art-Net DMX512) and Media-playback. For more informa-
tion about controlling the Mirror Head see the „Using and
operations“ section.

Using and operations (DMX512 / Art-Net™)
To use the Mirror Head as intended, a DMX512/Art-Net™ controller is needed with at least 14 channels. In order to control the Mirror Head
at least a 14 channel DMX Master is required.
DMX-512 controlled operation
1. Make sure the unit is turned off.
2. Connect the DMX XLR cable to the DMX-IN socket.
3. Connect the power-cord so the unit turns on.
4. Check the DMX settings in the control unit.
5. Start sending DMX commands and check if the system reacts.
Art-Net™controlled operation
1. Make sure the unit is turned off.
2. Connect the power-cord so the unit turns on.
3. Check the DMX settings in the control unit.
4. Check the IP address settings in the control unit.
5. Connect the CAT cable to the control board.
6. Start sending Art-Net™ DMX commands and check if the system reacts.
RS232 projector control
The Mirror Head control unit offers the possibility to send some basic remote control commands to the projector using the RS232 interface.
1. Make sure the projector is turned on and accepts RS232 commands corresponding to the RS232 compatibility list in the appendix.
2. The commands are sent to the projector whenever a specific DMX value is sent on the specific DMX channel – see DMX fixture chart.
NOTE: It is maybe necessary to insert a
DMX / XLR termination plug (with 120
Ohm) in the last unit in the link in order to
ensure proper transmission on the DMX
data link – please ask your DMX operator.
NOTE: If you change the IP address of the
unit you have to replug the CAT cable in
order to avoid ARP / IP caching of some
intermediate switching equipment

Mirror Head control unit operations
The control unit of the Mirror Head offers the possibility to adjust the system to the projector and the control environment.
Main screen
The Main-Screen shows the company logo. The back-light of the screen is turned off on default after 30 seconds of inactivity if the system is on
this screen. To turn it on again press any of the Mirror Head buttons. On this screen you can change the screen orientation for better handling by
pressing special keystroke combinations:
Main menu
This is the top level menu to access all settings of the Mirror Head. You can return to this screen anytime by pressing the (MENU) button.
To select an item in the list use the (UP) or (DOWN) buttons and press (ENTER) to access the sub-menu. Inside this menu you can start a
mirror-reset (calibration) by pressing the following buttons for 3 seconds.
Version
The version menu shows the firmware version of the Mirror Head.The firmware of all Mirror Head products can be upgraded if needed using the
USB OTG connector. In this menu you can override the factory default center of the calibration function. Under standard conditions you should
never use this function.

Network
The network interface of the Mirror Head is for Art-Net™ DMX512
communication. Please note that the Mirror Head supports static IP addresses
only (DHCP is not supported) and comes with a factory set IP address set to
2.0.0.3, netmask 255.0.0.0. To change the IP-address use the (UP), (DOWN)
and (ENTER) buttons. After you changed the IP address press (ENTER) over
and over again until you see “DONE” on the top of the screen. Changes will
then apply immediately to the network interface of the Mirror Head. To force
an ARP update disconnect the network cable for at least 5sec.
NOTE: Depending on the network infrastructure it is maybe necessary to
reset the switches and / or network interfaces of other devices if the IP-
address of the Mirror Head changes.
NOTE: Every device in an IP network must have its own IP address.
NOTE: You cannot use Art-Net™ DMX512 and analog DMX at the same time.
Changing this physical layer requires a power off-on cycle of the Mirror Head.
Projector
The Mirror Head offers the possibility for a remote control of the projector over
DMX via the RS232 interface. This menu allows you to select the connected
projector brand (see Appendix for compatibility and function list) to be used
with the Mirror Head. The projector must be connected with the Mirror Head
using a RS232 cable and the remote control function must be enabled and set
correctly on the projector.
Mirror angle
This option offers you the possibility to change the tilt-axis between Mode-90°
and Mode-162° for specific versions of the Mirror Head. Switching between
Mode-90° and Mode-162° does not require a restart of the Mirror Head. If you
switch the mode the center position on the tilt-axis of the Mirror Head changes.
WARNING: Use the 162° only if your Mirror Head is compatible with this
setting – Check the 162° compatibility list in the appendix.
DMX
By default the DMX-Address of the unit starts at 001. Here you can set the
offset if you need to change the DMX-Address of this unit. The DMX fixture
for the Mirror Head is in the appendix.
NOTE: The Mirror Head unit is always a slave device.
LEDs (MH08–MH13 only)
By default the RGB LEDs of the Mirror Head (if available for your model - see
appendix) are controlled over Art-Net™/DMX by selecting the specific RGB
and intensity channel values. If the LEDs should be on no matter if there is a
DMX signal or not, the fixed values can be set here.
