Fixture setup
The onboard control panel lets you configure the fixture using a range of fixture settings. Note that many of
these settings are also available on the Control / settings DMX channel (see “Adjusting settings via DMX” on
page 25).
DMX address
The fixture lets you set its DMX address or DMX start channel from 001 to the highest number available in
one 512-channel DMX universe that let you operate the fixture completely. This depends on the fixture’s
DMX footprint in the DMX mode that it is currently set to.
DMX control mode
You can set the fixture to Compact, Basic, Extended or Ludicrous DMX modes to match the control options
that you would like to use and the number of DMX channels that you have available for the fixture. See
“DMX protocol” on page 27 for details of these modes.
DMX universe
You can set the fixture to use the DMX channels in one DMX universe numbered from 1 - 64 000.
IP address
When sending control data to the fixture using its Ethernet connectivity, you can either:
• use the default IP address (which is displayed as soon as you open the
IP ADDRESS
menu), or
• manually set the fixture’s IP address.
Subnet mask
As with the fixture’s IP address, when operating in a networked installation you can either:
• use the default Subnet mask (which is displayed as soon as you open the
SUBNET MASK
menu), or
• manually set the fixture’s Subnet mask.
Fixture ID
The fixture lets you set a four-digit ID number to ease identification of the fixtures in an installation. When a
fixture is powered on for the first time, it displays its DMX address by default. As soon as you set an ID
number other than
0
in
FIXTURE ID
, the fixture will display this ID number by default, and indicate
FIXTURE
ID
in the display.
Personality
The
PERSONALITY
menu provides several options that let you customize the fixture for different
applications:
• The
PAN/TILT
menu offers the following options:
-
PAN INVERT
and
TILT INVERT
let you invert the direction of pan and tilt movement. This can be a fast
way of setting symmetrical action in multiple fixtures with no need to reprogram cues.
