Control Options for RR and R2

The RR and R2 has the following methods of control input:

  1. Manual mode with on screen controls and device buttons

  2. Wired DMX through the RJ45 ports

  3. Wired Ethernet for Art-Net and sACN control

  4. Wireless DMX with on board Lumen Radio chip

  5. WiFi Control with Art-Net over WiFi

  6. Wireless Bluetooth control with iOS / Android apps

  7. Lead / Follow Mode for manually controlling many RRs - R2s from one light. Followers are controlled through a wired DMX daisy chain or via Wireless DMX.

Data Loss Behavior

Quasar Science fixtures operate as Hold Last Look when data is lost. If data is interrupted to the fixture it will freeze output in its current state and go into Manual Mode.

FW 0.8 or earlier: If the user makes changes to the manual settings while the fixture is Holding Last Look, the light will apply the Intensity, Hue and Saturation values from the first pixel to the entire fixture. Which may be different from previous Manual Mode settings.

FW 0.9 or later: If the user makes changes to the manual settings while the fixture is Holding Last Look, the previous Manual Mode settings will be immediately applied to the fixture. This behavior allows you set a no-data look on the fixtures. So if a fixture is rebooted without data, it will default to the Manual Mode look.

Data Priority

The Order of DMX Priority is: Wired Data first, then Wireless Data.

If a light is being controlled via wireless, and then Wired Data is applied, the Wired data will take priority.
