Number of addressable lights
This defines how the OUT is acting. There are two basic modes:
-non addressable – all the lights on the control OUT light in the same way
-addressable – there can be up to 15 address and each light connected to the OUT can have
the address from 1 to 15 – each light with different address can light different. There can be more
than one light with the same address – the number of the lights with the same address is not limited!
To set-up non addressable mode set the switches 1 - 4 to OFF.
To set-up addressable mode set the switches 1 - 4 to the number of the lights with different
addresses on the control OUT.
Please pay attention the higher number results in lower refresh rate!
Data type
This defines the number of data bytes used for light / the number of DMX channels for each light on
the control OUT.
Value FUNCTION
0 1 byte - not used
1 2 bytes - not used
2 3 bytes - RGB lights
3 4 bytes - not used
Non addressable mode:
The number of used DMX channels is same as the defined.
Addressable mode:
The number of used DMX channels used for control OUT is as follows:
DATA TYPE number x number of ADDRESSABLE LIGHTS
Example:
DATA TYPE = 2 – 3 bytes
Number of ADDRESSABLE LIGHTS = 5
DMX channels used = 3 x 5 = 15
