SD CARD SETUP
** The SD card comes loaded with a selection of standard dynamic animations that can
be accessed via the laser in ILDA/PRG mode. The software allows the user to create and
modify the SD, it will NOT provide ILDA control.
1. The system only supports a FAT32 file system, if using a new SD Card, format it to
FAT32 first
2. This system supports short file names only, file names (including the folder name) are up
to an 8-bit file name and 3 extensions. File names and extensions can consist of letters,
numbers and underscores however cannot exceed more than 8-bit (e.g. SHOW_SP1)
3. Your SD card needs to be a dedicated card. DO NOT store other files onto the SD Card.
Your SD Card can support up to 20 folders, each folder can store up to 256 ILDA files
& 10 PRG files.
DMX Mode
It is possible to operate the Lanta Blazar Diamond™ from a remote location by using either
a DMX controller or a PC or laptop with a DMX interface. Lanta products use a 3 pin XLR
style connector and usually have an input and output DMX connector. This allows multiple
lighting products to be “daisy-chained” together to build a display controlled by just one
cable back to the DMX controller.
NOTE: In larger installations, there may be limitations regarding the maximum length of
DMX cables and the maximum number of devices that can be used in one daisy-chain
(or node).
NOTE: It is often desirable to terminate the last device on the node to minimize noise and
interference. Interference on a DMX network can make some lighting products to behave
erratically; this is most noticeable with moving head or other motorized products. This is not
a fault with the lighting product.
