STAND ALONE OPERATION 

 

Reverting to Stand Alone mode 

The interface enters Stand Alone mode within 5 seconds of powering on if no control software connection is detected. 
 

External Power supply and USB 

The external power supply is used only for Stand Alone mode.  If a USB cable is connected to the interface when operating 
in Stand Alone mode, the device will reboot to detect a computer connection.  Any scenes playing in Stand Alone mode will 
stop when the USB cable is connected. 
 

Battery charging 

Before deploying the interface in Stand Alone mode, connect the interface for 1 hour in order to charge the clock battery 
and to avoid losing saved configurations. 
 

Micro SD Card 

Shows can be saved to a micro-SD card 

installed in the interface’s SD card slot

 or connected to the computer.  The card 

must be CLASS 10, formatted as FAT or FAT 32, with a maximum capacity of 256 GB. 
 
SD Card connected to computer:  in Stand Alone mode, click Save to Memory, then 
select Save on external SD Card.  Save to the root directory of the SD card. 
    
Art-Net or sACN shows:  select the option with Art-Net icon to Save on external SD 
Card. 
 
SD Card installed in the interface:  select 

Save to device’s SD Card

.   

 

 

 

 

 

To play the SD show in Stand Alone, insert the card into the 

interface’s

 micro-SD slot.  

When the card is booted, the display will show "Sd" to indicate that the SD show is playing. 
 
Note:  the show file must be saved to the micro-SD root directory.  It will not play if the file is renamed or saved to a folder 
or subdirectory. 
 
Notes regarding recommended SD card specifications:    
 
The class of the SD card indicates its read/write speed.  Higher class numbers (e.g., class 10) offer faster speed and a 
better compatibility. 
 
Class 6 or higher is preferred for optimal system performance.  Older SD cards of type class 2 and 4 may not work. 
Choose class 10 micro-SD cards for mobile phones.
