Lots of lights from all brands have the 1/4" TRS jack in back for 3 button controllers like ADJ's UC3, or Chauvet's CA-9. They control things like Mode (blackout/strobing), Stand-by, and Function (gobo select/color select/sound active mode) depending on the lights.

Are these 1/4" controllers interchangeable? In other words, are they built to some sort of standard (like dmx) where I can use a controller from one brand with a light from a different brand?

Hi oquela and welcome to the forums.

To my knowledge, they are not. They use their own code to communicate with controllers and each other. So I would not recommend plunging different fixtures together with quarter inch cables. You can try it and see what happens, but you run the risk of damaging the fixtures then. So, do so at your own risk.
