DMX ADDRESSING
The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from a DMX controller. The
fixture is controlled using a minimum of 12 DMX channels (but has an extended mode which uses more channels). Each DMX
controlled fixture must have a DMX address set. For example, if the fixture has a DMX address of 10, then it uses channels 10
to 22 inclusive. The following fixture in the DMX chain could then be set to a DMX address of 27.
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control channels. Two fixtures of the same type may share the
same address if identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic purposes and symmetric control,
particularly when combined with the inverse pan and tilt options.
To set the fixture's DMX address:
1. In the control menu, select DMX "ADDR" and press ENTER to confirm. The present address will blink in the display.
2. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select an address from 1 to 496 (the top address will vary depending on the DMX mode of
the fixture).
3. Press ENTER to confirm your selection.
