1-1 Start Channel
The HUB24’s dimmer outputs can be set to respond to 15 consecutive DMX
channels, the first channel can be set anywhere from 1 to 512. By setting the start
channel to 1, the dimmer will respond to DMX channels 1 through 15 inclusive.
When using racks of looped dimmers, the next dimmer should start at channel 16, the
one after that at channel 31, and so on.
•
Select “1-1 Start Channel” on the menu.
•
Turn the encoder wheel to change the displayed start channel.
•
Press OK to save the new start channel and exit.
Note: If the start channel is set above 498, the dimmer outputs that would have been
above 512 will be set to not connected and not respond to the DMX signal.
