Set the DMX Start Address
Give each fixture a unique DMX starting address so that the correct fixture responds to the
control signals. This DMX start address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to
“listen” to the digital control information sent out from the control source.
Modify the fixture DMX start address on the user interface, located on the upper enclosure. See
Example:
The SolaPix 7 requires up to 66 channels of control depending on the
configuration of the modules. The Base module uses 21 channels. When the Flex
module is set to Compound mode, an additional 17 channels are added. If the Pixel
module is also set to Compound mode, then an additional 28 channels are added,
making 66 channels total.
If you are using the Base and Pixel modules (the Pixel module is set to Compound mode
and the Flex module is disabled) the total channel usage is 49 channels.
Set the Control Source and Universe
For Ethernet control, you must configure the control source (Art-Net or sACN) and set a universe
(000-255) for each fixture. See
for details.
