Note: In each case the ‘cell’ values indicate the number of individually controlled sections the
fixture is split into.
Using an RDM (Remote Device Management) tool, you can quickly change between the
various operation modes. Various third party DMX/RDM tools are available; we recommend
the Acclaim Lighting XMT-350 tool for this task. The chosen mode will determine how many
DMX channels are required to control the fixture. For instance,
DMX 8RGBW
mode on a 4’
QW model will require 32 (8 x 4) DMX channels to operate.
