Thanks for posting this never used this equipment before ,I tried the instructions & got absolutely nowhere .Watched this & now got a better idea. Thank you
THANK YOU! I have avoided working with AV equipment for years as a music teacher and this was so helpful to program a little light show to go along with our concert!
Thanks for that! I could follow that. You are very good at explaining things. I have watched other videos and I've been more confused after I've watched them!
Still rocking it in 2024! I'm just getting into Lighting up my home studio and waiting for this same DMX Controller to arrive in the mail. THANK YOU for sharing this learning process. I appreciate you. New Subscriber here, Cheers from Western Australia
Thanks this is absolutely the best to the point tutorial ive come across. Extremely helpful, got a kick out of you pointing out they have us coming to youtube. Thanks again. Lets hope i understand and can get mine working.
Hi, just want to say thank you for this tutorial video, thanks to you I got to understand how to set scenes and chases with my moving head on my dmx. Thank you again
This is how I learned to do do lights. Analog first and then computer software. I use soundswitch now but it definitely helps to have this base of knowledge before moving to more advanced lighting methods.
I don't feel like scrolling through the comments but I would like to say the terminator is not necessary unless you have a long runs it should work without it. it is just good practice to do as it eliminates Signal reflection which could influence the data on the wire. Good to have them around to terminate problems.
@@davedmwall I'm assuming a system of one transmitter multiple receivers or receiver on either side of the stage kind of thing? Probably not. I've done set ups with 4 dimmer packs and at least 100 feet of cable with no terminator. I've also worked with a band that has 2 or 4 multicolor LED lights on either side of the stage with a receiver on each set and then daisychained no issue.
heads up, I just learned you have to keep "1" UP in order to make the red blue and such turn on. And if you want to add a light, you have to lower the "1" and bring it back all the way up. No video explained this, it took me an hour to figure it out. I thought the machine was broken.
Thanks Melissa for doing the work and figuring it out . This controller , and its copies , definitely have their quirks . I'm really glad this video has helped so many and other have been contributing to the knowledge base . Best of luck with it . Love your singing BTW .
@@PhilipCockram wow! Thanks! :) :) :) Maybe with your help (and similar videos) I can better get some lighting on stage. LOL! That's the goal anyway. Thank you for your work helping build knowledge.
Thank you for the tutorial! If I turn off the lights and turn them on again the following week for church, would i have to re-program the lights to match the board? We will be hanging the lights on the ceiling
You're welcome . The programming will stay in the controller if you shut it or the the lights off . In fact , you have to do the factory reset to remove all the programming entirely .
Sirrrr .. THANK YOU . THANKS soo much . YOUR video was the only detailed video that help me today . Side note . Please let me know which wireless transmitter you get and use. Pretty please . I want and Need more KNOWLEDGE
Phillip Thank you for your tutorial. Better then all the rest. ? If you have time can you make a video to connect martins and moving heads . Thanks have a great day.
Thanks for watching and commenting . Sorry , but i've kinda moved on from the lighting thing now . Into flying RC planes mostly now . Have a great day as well . Sorry for the late reply.
Thank you that helped a lot I just got one and I've got to figure it out by the weekend so i look like a pro at the festival i'm going so perfect explanation, very clear Cheers
thanks so much! all the other tutorials on these cheap desks have made no sense to me at all! Now i feel i have a new part of my brain that i can use! whoop!
Thanks for the info Phillip, I didn't know you needed a terminator for the end of the daisy chain. that could be the problem i am having. orders some today. thanks again
Whats funny is i saw this item on ebay. Copy and pasted the name of it on youtube... only to find out the instructions said look it up on google or youtube. I did good. Im happy!
Amazing review, I think I understand now what some people think when I talk about computers lol...Got my daughter an electric guitar and amp for her Birthday based off some of your videos...Thanks...Have a Happy New Year as well...
These 192 controllers have problems running moving heads that have a more sophisticated DMX system . Some of the better quality fixtures just won't work on these budget controllers . Maybe check with the moving head brand , it could be in the manual , what controller they recommend ?
@@PhilipCockram they didn't recommend what controller I should use. The controller iam using is called disco 192 it's fairly cheap. The moving heads iam using are pure light muvy wash 18 cheers Phill.
Yippee my first booking ....We are trying to come up with a good name . The Champagne lounge sounds a bit more classy than the Tequila Hole . Got any suggestions .???
Yes I think so . There needs to be something at the output on the last fixture so the signal stops . I would try it if you are having problems . They are very cheap . Thanks for watching .
Hello, i have a problem with the same controler. With the tapsync function, in auto chase mode, when y press 3 times or more the button, nothing happend and the speed fader stay the rythm master. Have you got the same problem or a solution ?
Hello . Yes I had difficulty with the Tap/sync . I don't believe the device is malfunctioning . But maybe something like a design flaw . Sorry I couldn't help more .
Not clear on the termination device. Are you saying in order for this controller to work at all the last light needs to have the termination device? You're using one single light for this demonstration, is the termination device plugged into the dmx out of that single light?
Thank for watching . Some lights don't have the termination and or pass through circuits . They're all different . At the time I made this I did not have the Terminator on hand to try . Yes , It would be placed at the very end or OUT of whatever single , set or series you use and may or may not be needed . Considering they are very cheap , it is possible solution if that problem exists .
Hi I got my DMX controller but I just plug the cable on the DMX into the led light but it's not working do you know how to program with a led lighting and DMX controllto connect to see that works?
The controller will only work with other DMX devices . Most DMX lights have their own on board programming . Check the light by itself first . If that works you may have a problem with the controller or connection . Hope that helps .
Philip Cockram I use the moving head just for that but when I plug the cable into the DMX controller and connect it to the gobo moving head but it's not do anything, it's supposed to plug it in when the lights are ready to make it control.
@@adamssirenadventures6574 I had to reset my fixtures and controller back to factory default settings a few times trying to get stuff to work . Try that and another cable if possible . Again the controller may be broken as well .

@@PhilipCockram Thank you so much for the quick reply! I am literally sitting with the product in cart. Seems like a fun way to learn the basics of dmx!
How can I change the scenes manually on such a controller so that there is a smooth effect (fade)? It is obtained only when the program is executed automatically.
Greetings brother, I'm so happy your tutorial made it big. Hopefully you can make more tutorials like this soon. I also noticed your Canon Wi Fi video has 50k, thats awesome
Thanks brother . Yes the Canon wifi one is doing well also . I still get a lot of questions on bothas well . It;s great to be able to help people out .
Great to hear from you. I would advise leaving them in auto mode . DMX is a costly and time consuming path . If you are pro i recommend . But for people just wanting good lighting go auto .
Hi Philip, thanks for this very helful video. For instance, do you have any idea about the DMX adresses for the scanners to the left? Of course, scan 1 is one, but I'm looking for the other ones. Many thanks in advance, and cheers from southern France, Mat
Thanks for taking the time to make this video, I have the same controller but it is branded SoundLab. Will check your other vids to see how to add an additional light of the same kind, I hope there is somehow a way to copy the scenes from one light to another. Regards from the UK
Thanks for watching . Yes the unit powers up and can be programmed without any cables or lights plugged into it . I have even moved cables and lights around while the unit was on and it didn't cause any troubles . It does soundlike your unit is faulty . Hopefully you can return or get it replaced .

@@PhilipCockram Works great, surprised at how quickly I figured it out. My mind blew when I realised it has 30 banks per scene, that's beyond anything I'd ever need. However, you're telling me that once you switch off the controller all your scenes are gone??
@@controllerbrain I am glad to hear that .Turning the init on and off is fine . the scenes will remain in the memory. The only way to remove them is to reset to default or re program over them .
It was a long time ago , but I believe I was referring to a XLR DMX Transmitter . That replaces the input and output cables . They are fairly common now and are sold in multi unit packs for affordability .
Thanks for sharing. This was very helpful. I have a question on how to clear or reset the chase settings? I’ve used chase 1-4 and now I want to clear them and program a different chase color pattern.
Sorry for the delay . Thanks for watching 1} Press Program for 3 seconds until the LEDs blink 2} Press and hold AUTO/Del and the Chase button 1 -6 you choose , TOGETHER all the LEDs should blink . 3} Press Program for 3 seconds to exit You use the same method to delete a , BANK or SCENE Just press those buttons instead of the Chase button . You can also reset the whole unit back to default settings if you . Turn unit off . Press and hold Program and Bank Down Turn the unit on . When the LEDS flash it's been reset . Here is a copy of a manual . Maybe not the same brand as yours but should work . best of luck to you . www.lightronics.com/manuals/sm192m.pdf

@@controllerbrain I am glad to hear that .Turning the init on and off is fine . the scenes will remain in the memory. The only way to remove them is to reset to default or re program over them .
Thanks for this explanation. You mentioned getting a device to control this remotely? Did you ever get that if so what did you find?
It was a long time ago , but I believe I was referring to a XLR DMX Transmitter .
That replaces the input and output cables .
They are fairly common now and are sold in multi unit packs for affordability .
@@PhilipCockram Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the quick responce

Hi! Thanks for the awesome video!
Is there any way to nicely fade between scenes, but not continuous as demonstrated in video? (auto mode)
If I understand you correctly . Yes by adjusting the speed . It is very sensitive and I had it up high to demo for the video. Thanks Jaco
@@PhilipCockram Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. This was very helpful. I have a question on how to clear or reset the chase settings? I’ve used chase 1-4 and now I want to clear them and program a different chase color pattern.
Sorry for the delay . Thanks for watching
1} Press Program for 3 seconds until the LEDs blink
2} Press and hold AUTO/Del and the Chase button 1 -6 you choose , TOGETHER
all the LEDs should blink .
3} Press Program for 3 seconds to exit
You use the same method to delete a ,
BANK or SCENE Just press those buttons instead of the Chase button .
You can also reset the whole unit back to default settings if you .
Turn unit off . Press and hold Program and Bank Down
Turn the unit on .
When the LEDS flash it's been reset . Here is a copy of a manual . Maybe not the same brand as yours but should work . best of luck to you .
