Product Overview
What This Fixture Is
led slave controller
Key Benefits
- Dual way backup keeps the display running if a controller or cable fails

- FL-CS218DW Controller addressing signal output compatible differential signals output，Improve the addressing signal transmission distance， in favor of the project application for long distance transmission and effective addressing；
- Three-primary-color independent brightness control, which realize simple, effective and accurate adjustment of white balance.
- Precise gamma correction algorithm. It better conforms to the visual photographic characteristics of the human body, and the display color is more sufficient and rich, so as to perfectly reflect the animation or video effects of the designer.
- Support 120-frame frequency maximum, to guarantee demands for HD display and 3D display of the image;
- Adopt Ethernet interface and UDP network protocol, to guarantee stable transmission, the maximum transmission distance is 100m.
- LCD display module, to timely display the controller parameters and state.
- Dual-network interface, which can realize cascade connection between controllers and automatic inspection of the controller, and the connection status is displayed intuitively through the software.
- 8-port output, single port output is standFL 512-channel, expand protocol load points by client basis chip characteristics self-testing.
- Support dual-way backup, the display will not be influenced if a controller is broken or the network cable is disconnected.
- Can set self-adapting 1000M / 100M or forced 100M, to guarantee stability of large project.

Use Guide
Installing And Commissioning
Connect the master controller to the sub controllers with CAT5, keep each section under the stated distance, then assign ports and addresses. Store the programme on the SD card so the system plays offline on schedule.
- Confirm the layout. Mark fixture positions on the elevation and check point spacing against viewing distance.
- Fix the mounting. Use the supplied bracket, profile or steel wire fixing and leave a service loop at each connector.
- Power and address. Inject power at the recommended interval, then address the line from the sub controller.
- Commission. Load a test pattern, correct white balance and store the show programme on the master controller.
