DMX-controlled operation
You can control the fixtures individually via your DMX-controller.
The device has four different DMX channel modes.
Every DMX-channel has a different occupation with different features. The individual channels and their
features are listed under DMX-protocol.
Addressing
The Control Board allows you to assign the DMX starting address, which is defined as the first channel from
which the LED MSB-8i will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, the address in the 45 channel mode to channel 46, the device will use the channel 46
to 90 for control.
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each LED MSB-8i correctly
and independently from any other fixture on the DMX-chain. If several LED MSB-8i are addressed similarly,
they will work synchronically.
Press the Up/Down-buttons for setting the desired starting address. Now you can start operating the LED
MSB-8i via your lighting controller.
The individual channels and their features are listed under DMX-protocol.
The LEDs of the device are arranged in the following order (see
graphic) and can be individually controlled with the following
DMX-protocol.
