Usage Features

The Phantom HTI-150 MKII offers flexible setup and operation. For DMX control, it can be connected in a daisy-chain configuration using 3-pin XLR cables. The DMX address is set via the LED display menu, allowing for easy configuration of multiple fixtures. The fixture supports both 8-bit and 16-bit DMX protocols, with 7 or 9 channels respectively, providing varying levels of control precision.

In stand-alone mode, the fixture can run pre-set programs. Master/slave operation allows for synchronized movement and effects across multiple units, with one fixture acting as the master and others as slaves. Sound-active mode utilizes a built-in microphone to trigger effects in sync with music.

The control panel features an LED display and buttons for navigation (Enter, Choose, Up, Down), making it intuitive to adjust settings such as DMX address, control mode, and various functions like pan/tilt invert, fixture reset, and activate music trigger.

For installation, the fixture can be mounted on a flat stage floor or attached to a truss using a clamp and safety cable. Proper rigging and electrical connections are crucial for safe operation. The device requires a 120V or 230V power supply, depending on the specification.
