Q: 5. does this work with FotodioX Pro FACTOR 1 x 2 V-4000ASVL Bi-Color Dimmable LED Studio Light?

A: The system referenced is made for conventional par lights and would not be ideal for what you are likely trying to do. This setup is for units without an internal dimmer such as a 500 watt Par can. The unit that you refer to states that it is controllable via dmx but I cannot seem to find how many control channels it uses, so I would assume one and its just for dimming although the color temp seems to be adjustable also so it may be more channels. I would ask B and H about that part. I would recommend the SDC12 if you just want manual control of the dimming and no programming or scene recall. The description refers to DMX as the control source and also that it is 3 pin so there isn't any reason I can think of that this controller wouldn't work.If you want programability I recommend something like the ADJ DMX Operator or the Elation Show Designer 1 for more intricate programming.

Q: 10. When using several of these can I sync them? For example, if I place units on the same DMX channel, set the speed to 4 flashes per second and then enable them by setting the intensity from 0 to my desired level will they begin flashing at the same time and maintain synchronization? Alternatively, can I control individual flashes by setting a slow flash rate and then retrigger by setting intensity to zero and then back to get a "flash on demand"?

A: According to the manufacturer when on a control board they will sync and act as one unit.
