Default AI SOL CONTROLLER

I am looking into getting two AI SOL's and am wondering if I connect the two fixures to the ai controller will they operate seperatly? ie: first unit starts to ramp up then 10mins later second unit starts?

Thanks

No, I believe they operate jointly.

Having AI Sols with the controller they run simultaneously on start up and ramp down. If you wanted them to run separately, you could always buy 2 controllers and run them separately.

however, with my profilux 3, I can't control every module independently, but during thunder mode, they actually flash individually.

You would need two separate AI controllers for that or another controller like Apex or Profilux. However I believe the AI Vega can do it if you wanted to wait another month or so for those.

They are supposed to be available anytime now unless they have revised it again. Everything I have says early 2012.
