Manual Assignment of DMX Channels:
It is possible to individually assign the DMX channels of the connected light effect units to the control
elements of the controller (softpatch). However, some DMX channels must be assigned according to a
certain scheme, for the controller to correctly perform the integrated movement patterns, color effects
and fade effects. For control of the pan/tilt function of moving heads or scanners, the corresponding DMX
channels must be assigned e.g. to the pan and tilt wheel; and for control of RGBW light effect units, the
DMX channels which control red, green, blue, white and the dimmer function, must be assigned to the
sliding controls 1-5. The assignment can be made in the system settings.
