2.4 Connecting to audio source
zAudio signal can be imported from audio Mixer or other audio players, or pick by
inside microphone. The Controller picks the low frequency composition as music
synchronizing trigger signal to Chase program automatically.
zThere is a 1/4” (6.35mm) imbalance mono audio input socket on the rear panel of
Controller. The auto level range of audio input is -10dB ~ +10db. When a 1/4” audio
plug is plugged in the socket, audio source is circuit level input. When the audio plug
is pulled out, audio source comes from inside microphone.
2.5 Distribution of DMX512 address
DJ246 PRO Scanner controller uses Channel 1~246 of DMX512 to transmit control
signals to Scanners and digital dimmer. Channels are used as following:
zChannels 1~216 are used by Scanners. Each Scanner has 12 fixed control
Channels.
zChannels 217~246 are used by lighting. (Among them Channels 217~234 are used
for switch control and Channels 235~246 for dimmer control).

3.2 Introduction of vocabulary in common use
zScanner Scene: it is the concourse of Channel values of Scanners’ X/Y (PAN/TILT)
position, Brightness and GOBO.
zLight Scene: it is the concourse of brightness values of some lighting Channels at
the same time.
zChase Program: every Chase program is composed of some Chase Steps, and
every step has a saved Scene output.
3.3 Part of keyboard
There are 42 keys on the keyboard. Some keys have corresponding LED indicators.
When a LED indicator is on, the Controller is executing the key’s function .Some keys have
two different color marks. These keys have different functions in different states.
