powered off individually via DMX or an internal timer/scheduler. The product may be r

ack, truss

or wall mounted. The Synapse 4 also includes a 4-port DMX opto-

iso, allowing users to easily

branch their DMX universe in multiple directions and amplify the signal after a long run.

•Operating modes:

•1-channel: All Power Output On/Off

•4-channel: Power Output 1–4 On/Off
