SHAPESHIFTER User Manual
SHAPESHIFTER DMX Protocol Options
Both SHAPESHIFTER C1 and M1 models have Reduced and Enhanced protocol options.
The Reduced Protocol option uses 28 channels of a standard DMX512 link to control Position, Color
mixing, Module movement, Macros, Dimming, Shutter, MSpeed, and the Indigo Highlighter
system. All modules are controlled as a unit. SHAPESHIFTER W1 models have all white LEDs so
color mixing functions actually refer to changes in the “white” intensity for groups of LEDs on an
LED module.
In addition to all the functions of the Reduced protocol, Enhanced protocol mode adds individual
control of each of the seven LED modules.
