20 VC-Strip Safety and Installation Guide
Setting DMX Addresses
See Figure 11. To set DMX addresses using the M-PC application, open the RDM View window and click on
Scan to display a list of the elements in the installation. Click in the Address box for each VC-Strip module
and enter the desired DMX address, then press the Enter key to store the DMX address for that module.
Remember that modules with identical addresses will receive the same instructions.
When working with more than one DMX universe, click in the Universe box for each VC-Strip module, enter
the desired DMX universe number, then press the Enter key to store the DMX universe for that module.
Setting modules to grouped or pixel control modes
In pixel mode, the 16 LEDs on a module are controlled individually. In module mode, All the LEDs on one
module are controlled as one group.
To set a VC-Strip module to pixel or module mode, calibrated or raw, using M-PC, open the RDM View
window and click on Scan to display a list of the elements in the installation. Select the module in the list,
then click on the Properties... button at the bottom of the screen to open the Properties window for that
module. Select from:
• Pixel mode (calibrated)
• Module mode (calibrated)
• Pixel mode (raw)
• Module mode (raw)
Calibrated and raw modes
See the section on setting control modes above.
In calibrated mode, color and intensity levels are evenly matched in different LEDs and different modules but
maximum output is slightly reduced.
In raw mode, LEDs give maximum possible output but color and intensity levels may be slightly uneven in
different LEDs and different modules.
Setting up shortened modules
Any VC-Strip that has been shortened by cutting the module will communicate the number of LEDs it
contains to the P3 or RDM controller so that its 14, 12, 10 or 8 pixels can be controlled correctly.
