Each DMX devices operates on a specific number of channels to transfer the incoming control
signals into movements, changing of light intensity or colour, and so on. Since all receivers
that are part of a DMX daisy chain receive all signals, a start address must be assigned to each
DMX device. Starting from this address (a value between 0 and 512) the incoming signals are
being evaluated and transferred into the functions of the receiver (internal channel assign‐
ment).
It is no problem to use a start address more than once in a DMX chain. In that case, the relevant
receivers operate synchronously (identical movement, light intensity, colour, and so on).
When setting the DMX address, the counting method of the device determines the first
channel. Depending on the device, the channel numbers may start from 0 or from 1. The
address range may therefore reach from 0 to 511 or from 1 to 512.
