DMX
Personalities
and Starting
Address
The COLORband PiX™ IP has two DMX personalities, a 3-channel mode for basic
control and a 36-channel mode with more advanced control over the lights.
The COLORband PiX™ IP uses up to 36 DMX channels in its 36-channel DMX mode,
which defines the highest configurable address to
477
.
When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels
the selected DMX mode uses. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you could
restrict the access to some of the product’s channels.
If you are not familiar with the DMX protocol, you may refer to the DMX Primer at
www.chauvetlighting.com
.
To select the DMX personality, do the following:
1. Press
<MENU>
repeatedly until
3-CH, 4-CH, 6-CH, 7CH, 9-CH, 12CH, 18CH
or
36CH
shows on the display.
2. Press
<ENTER>
to choose your DMX personality when it appears on the display.
To then choose your starting address:
1. The display should show
d001
once you’ve selected your DMX personality using the
steps above.
2. Use
<UP>
or
<DOWN>
to select the starting address.
3. Press
<ENTER>
.
