The TDC Gobo Rainbow is equipped with several working modes, each with its own advantages. For simple
events there are stand-alone modes, for advanced situations there are options to create synchronized
lightshows, or controlled with a DMX-512 controller. A short description for each mode can be found below:
Auto:
Automatic lightshow with a pre-programmed internal show, on a pre-defined speed.
Sound:
Automatic lightshow with a pre-programmed internal show, on the beat of the music, thanks to an internal
microphone which senses the beat of the music and will change a step every time a beat is detected.
Slave:
In master/slave mode, it is possible to link several TDC Gobo Rainbow fixtures together, to create
synchronized lightshows in the Auto or Sound mode. The first fixture in the chain needs to be set in the Auto
or Music mode. All the next fixtures need to be set to Slave and will mimic the behavior of the first fixture.
The master/slave function requires XLR – XLR cables (not included).
DMX:
The TDC Gobo Rainbow can be connected to a DMX-controller with standard XLR – XLR cable. While doing
so, a DMX-terminator must be connected to the last fixture, at the end of the DMX-chain. This prevents
reflections in the DMX-signal, which could cause flickering and unwanted behavior from your intelligent
fixtures.
A DMX terminator is a XLR connector with a resistor of 120 Ohm, placed between pin 2 and 3 as a bridge.
See the illustration for more information.
With the following channel assignment, it is possible to control the TDC Gobo Rainbow:
