Viking VK1430 Pixelcyc User manual

VK1430 Pixelcyc
The VK1430 Pixelcyc Bar is a powerful LED Cob Light
using 14 30w RGB Led Cobs and producing excellent
colours inc colour correction and vivid Yellows, oranges, greens blues and ambers. In addition to being ideal
for lighting a Cyclorama the unit is ideal for use as Eye Candy due to it’s ability to control each Led separately
and do full pixel mapping. In addition to DMX control it has 15 excellent stand alone built in programs together
with the ability to modify or customise these programs to the users choice of colour , effect etc when using a
DMX controller or lighting desk.
The unit is IP65 rated for use outside in the wet and can be hung vertically or horizontally via the floor standing
feet using hook clamps or half couplers. With no fan the VK1430 is completely silent making it ideal for theatre
use. If multiple units are placed end to end then the spacing between each LED remains constant.
Please read these instructions before use to ensure you get the best out of our VK1430’s !
Power to the light is via 16a In and Out Mains connectors , allowing up to 6 units to be daisy chained on a 13a
mains feed or 7 on a 16a mains feed. DMX Data is in/out via XLR 3 pin connectors and as with all DMX
products it is recommended to fit a Terminator to the last DMX product on the data line to ensure a clean
signal.
Operation
Simple to operate there are built in programs for creating effects, but in practice these are not normally of any
use as the colour temperature and brightness are the two properties that are likely to be used.

Operation of buttons
Menu: Used to select function
UP: Increase parameter value
Down: Decrease parameters value
Enter: to confirm value/preserve/enter submenu
To Set DMX Mode:
In order to enter the DMX start address of the unit select d001 on the menu, then enter the
required start address using the Up or Down buttons and when correct for your requirement remember to
press Enter to store. The unit remembers settings when turned off as long as the Enter button has been pressed.
If using multiple units the use of the ID menu function can save considerable time in calculating out each start
Dmx address in 42 channel mode as it will automatically calculate this for you by adding 42 to the start address
for each unit. Ie: an ID of ID04 will automatically set the DMX address to 42x4 (168)
