DMX protocols
Two DMX protocols are given below: for the MAC 401 RGB Zoom module and CT Zoom module.
Certain channels in the CT Zoom module’s DMX protocol are intentionally left without function to avoid
having to repatch channels if one type of module is replaced with another.
For each protocol, pan, tilt and fixture control channels are only available if the module is installed on the
front of the head. If a module is installed on the rear of the head, control of pan, tilt and fixture functions is
not available in that module’s DMX protocol. Instead, they must be controlled using the DMX channels for
the module installed on the front of the head.
For information about setting up DMX modes, see “DMX setup” on page 13.
