Seen few videos about this controller. Yours is definitely the best I have seen yet.. you should do an extended version going into more detail I think that would be a great hit.. the genetic version of this is all over eBay and is probably the most popular controller as well so as far as that goes your video should be really popular.. just start off the same way you did in this video keeping it simple and then add add more info . On most other channels this controller as they are most popular video..

You just saved my @$$. I got the 384, but their videos & manual don’t tell you how to make a scene with fixtures using DIFFERENT COLORS. Thought I was gonna have to return it. THANK YOU!!!

[DevilAndSons]

Thanks for this. I'm building a mic stand for a client who wants it dmx controlled. It's the first time I have done this so I wanted a cheap controller option, thanks to you I've found one.

This would be good if you showed how you programmed your DMX channels and controller and whatnot.

Absolutely the best simplified DMX control video on Youtube. Short, accurate and simplified. You are a GREAT TEACHER

Hi Kris! Thanks for this great and helpful video. Can you direct me on how / if it's possible to program FADE UPs and FADE OUTs? Thank you, in advance!

[ElizmiHE]

great channel and thanks for the info I can do the programmes now but how do you delete the scenes and chases please

[barryandrews]

I'm dyslexic..I have the same controller but I'm finding it difficult to grasp

[blakes]

This was super helpful and I discovered so much more about my lights. Although I do have a question, I have 3 head lights in a daisy chain but whenever I select different scanners it doesn’t control them individually. If I click channel 1 then they work in sync, but if I click any of the others nothing happens. I guess what I’m trying to say is I need to control them individually. Any ideas?

[asysr]

So I have 4 rgb stage lights DMX output that I'm using for church..if this controller has 1 output then how do I hook up all 4 lights?

[mightyquinn]

So this only allows you to control 16 channels of a light? Dont most moving heads have alot more channels? I guess most allow you to control it more basically but what if you want to or need to control more than 16? Do you need a different controller?

[lms]

Are there more options for customization, like flashing for example? And are you able to manipulate the scenes and chases as you are playing them out? Like changing the color for example. Great vid, thanks!

[Tahedah]

so am I able to have "chase 1" repeating and when bass drops I can click "chase 2" for the next sequence or does the auto/music sync feature only run through all of the chase modes at once?

[jbrondos]

I have the CO-Z DMX board and appreciate your video.

After playing around a bit more this is what I'm experiencing:


When I disconnect the PARs from the DMX512 controller, the "d" in front of the three-digit DMX address is solidly lit. When I plug in the DMX cable, it starts blinking rapidly.


There is no switch on the controller which would reverse polarity. I am using DMX cables. I have powered lights and controller off and on in various sequences. (The number in the controller LED is 120.)


The blinking happens even if I just have one PAR light connected to the controller, but also if I have all the lights in the daisy chain connected (and when daisy-chained, the group is properly terminated).




I've tried resetting scenes and chases holding down arrow and program (or down arrow and add) buttons simultaneously. I don't know if there is some other way to factory reset the board.



But bottom line, the PARs will not respond to the lighting control board -- though at one time they did.

I'm stumped and hoping the controller hasn't gone bad (out of warranty).
