Starting Address
When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels
the selected DMX mode uses. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you could
restrict the access to some of the product’s channels.
The MegaStrobe™ FX12 uses up to 8 DMX channels in its 8-channel DMX mode, which
defines the highest configurable address to
