Venue Revolver Laser Manual
Each fixture requires a starting address from 1~512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control
begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the starting address. For example, a fixture that uses
seven DMX channels and is addressed to start on DMX channel 100, will read data from channels: 100, 101,
102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. Choose the starting addresses for each fixture so that the channels used do not
overlap. In addition, you should note the starting address selected for future reference.

fixtures. You must set both the master and the slave(s) fixtures to the correct mode for this operation.

Although any fixture in the DMX daisy chain may be set to master, it is advisable to set the
master as the first fixture in the line.
Only one fixture may be set to master.
Do not connect a DMX controller to the daisy chain for this operating mode.
It does not matter which DMX mode is selected for the slave fixtures.
Either mode will be effective.
Note that SL1 and SL2 settings react to the master unit differently:
SL1 = Normal Slave Mode (follows the master unit exactly)
SL2 = Random Slave Mode (switches between slave setting and
automatic internal program)
