7. Projector DMX start address selection
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so that the
correct fixture responds to the correct control signals. This digital starting address is the channel
number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent out from
the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting address is achieved by setting the correct
number on the display located on the base of the device.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or make different
address for each fixture individually.
If you set the same address, all the units will start to “listen” to the same control signal from the
same channel number. In other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the
fixtures simultaneously.
If you set a different address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number you have set,
based on the quantity of control channels of the unit. That means changing the settings of one
channel will affect only the selected fixture.
In the case of the moving head, which is 36channels fixture, you should set the starting address of
the first unit to 1, the second unit to37(36 + 1), the third unit to73( 37+ 33), and so on.

2) When the fixture is power off, and the WDMX is in ON status, if the fixture is connected
to DMX controller. After the fixture is power on, it can be controlled only by the DMX
controller which connected. The fixture can log in the wireless transmitter, and receive only
radio signal from transmitter, but not DMX from the transmitter.
