Desire D40/D60 XTI v1.8.0 User Manual
DMX Profile
Addressing
Addresses must be set between 1 and 510.
Each Desire fixture must be considered a separate DMX device for the purpose of DMX line-
loading calculations.
DMX line-loading practice dictates that no more than 32 devices can be daisy-chained together.
Consequently, no combination of Desire fixtures totaling more than 32 DMX devices should be
configured in one DMX line. For runs of fixtures totaling more than 32 DMX devices, split the DMX
runs by using a DMX splitter.
Profiles
Desire Series fixtures occupy 1 to 14 DMX channels depending on the profile and which features are
turned on. The tables below describe the order and function of each channel.
Vivid, Lustr+, Fire, Ice, and Studio HD
Direct Control
Direct Control uses one DMX channel per individual color within the LED array for a total of seven color
channels, arranged according to the
Color Mixes
on
page 19
table. Each controls the intensity of the
color from 0 to 100%. An additional, 8th DMX channel is used as a master intensity fader for
controlling the brightness of the overall fixture. Channel 9 is for strobe when enabled.
Note:
Depending on the selected fixture profile and activated features, a fixture with a
starting address higher than 499 may not have control of all parameters, even
though the highest address shown on the user interface is 512.
Addressing is not required for standalone operation.
