DMX Personality
and Starting
Address
When selecting a DMX starting address, always consider the number of DMX channels used by
the fixture. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you could restrict the access to
some of the product’s channels.
The GigBAR™ IRC uses 3-, 8- and 19-channel DMX personalities, which means the highest
DMX address you can use is
494
.
