The ColorSource Linear 2 and the
ColorSource Linear 4 fixtures have two
Grouping modes:
•
Group: Entire array functions as a
single fixture.
•
Cell: Each 0.5 m segment (or
“cell”) of the array functions as a
distinct fixture with a separate DMX
start address.
To set the Grouping mode, press the
Grouping button until the LED indicator
for the chosen mode illuminates.
In Cell mode, each cell is assigned a DMX address based on the DMX address
of the fixture (see
Set the DMX Address on page 7 ) and the current DMX
control mode (see Change the DMX Control Mode on the previous page ). For
example, if you set the DMX address on the fixture to 100, set the DMX mode
to 5-channel, and set the Grouping mode to Cell, the starting DMX address
of the first cell will be 100 and the starting DMX address of the second cell
will be 105.
