Choosing a start address should be planned in advance. Channels should never overlap.
If they do, this will result in erratic operation of the fixtures whose starting address is
set incorrectly. You can however, control multiple fixtures of the same type using the
same starting address as long as the intended result is that of unison movement or
operation. In other words, the fixtures will be slaved together and all respond exactly
the same.
DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy
Chain connection is where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA
IN of the next fixture. The order in which the fixtures are connected is not
important and has no effect on how a controller communicates to each fixture. Use
an order that provides for the easiest and most direct cabling. Connect fixtures
using shielded two conductor twisted pair cable with three pin XLR male to female
connectors. The shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-) and
pin 3 is Data positive (S
+).
