DMX ADDRESSING
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the correct fixture
responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from which
the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control signal sent out from the DMX controller. The assignment
of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital control
display on the fixture.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different addresses for
each individual fixture. Setting all fixtures to the same DMX address will cause all fixtures to react in the
same way, in other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.
If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number
you have set, based on the quantity of DMX channels of each fixture. That means changing the settings
of one channel will only affect the selected fixture.
In the case of the Hydro Wash X7, when in 15 Channel you should set the starting DMX address of
the first unit to 1, the second unit to 16 (15 + 1), the third unit to 31 (16 + 15), and so on. (See the chart
below for more details.)
