*DMX START A FADER CHANNEL, - 1 = FADER DMX ADDRESS
Example: If FIXTURE 1 is set to 11 as its DMX starting address, and its 1/R
fader channel is set to 1, when you move the 1st fader the output of the 11th
DMX channel will be changed.
But, if FIXTURE 1 is set to 11 as its DMX starting address, and its 1/R fader
channel is set to 10, and you move the 1st fader, the output of the 20th DMX
channel will be changed.
When patching, a
“!”
mark will be shown in the LCD display when there is
a overlap in the patching of DMX channels. This will need to be corrected,
otherwise the DMX output may run in error.
