CONNECTION AND OPERATING
A show lighting system can be composed of different types of lighting equipment: spotlights, LED effects,
lasers, stroboscopes, etc. To control this equipment, it must be prepared to receive orders following the
DMX 512 protocol. These devices can be assigned a DMX address between 0 and 192 through which they
can receive orders from the
DMX-81
control console.
In order to assign each device a valid DMX address, the instruction manual must be consulted. They normally
have DIP microswitches or a display to assign an address manually. The table below shows the positions of
the DIP microswitches to assign a specific DMX address.
The
DMX-81
control console has 12 scanners to make management of the devices easier within its 192
channels. These scanners refer to fixed addresses with 16 channels between them. Below, the addresses of
the scanners and the microswitches that should be activated in a device with a standard DMX configuration
are shown.
Note
: check the instruction manual for your equipment to find out if it follows standard DMX configuration
or requires a different one.
