Stand Alone Operation
A standalone animation sequence (sequence with
no accompanying audio) can be downloaded into
the flash memory of the lighting controller.
This sequence can contain approximately 10,000
lighting commands. These commands can also be
for controllers other than this controller, so this
controller can direct a network of controllers. There
are no restrictions on the types of LOR controllers
in this network.
The sequence is designed and tested using the
Showtime Software Sequence Editor. When you

Sequence Editor.
Start the Hardware Utility and click the Refresh

Finally, Use the Open button to browse to your
sequence and click the Download button.
