Ethernet Control

15

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

Address on page 17

.

Example:

The SolaPix 19 XT requires up to 114 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 76 channels are added,
making 114 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 97 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

Address on page 17

for details.
