Determining DMX Start Channel Assignment
There are 512 available channels on each DMX link divided among all the devices in a particular
link. A fixture must have a unique Start channel number in order to respond independently to
controller commands.
To determine each fixture’s DMX start channel in a link, identify the channel range of every fixture
on the link. Channel range is the number of consecutive channels a fixture requires. Each
SolaWash 19 LED fixture running Standard Protocol requires a block of 21 consecutive channels
on a 512-Channel DMX link. The Start channel is the first number of a fixture’s channel range.
When setting the Start channel on a fixture, remember:
• A fixture’s physical location on the link does not have to coincide with the order of channel
range assignments in the link.
• The fixture’s channel range must not overlap any other device’s channel range on the link.
When two devices on the same DMX link have overlapping channel ranges, one or both
devices will be disabled or behave erratically. The single exception would be if two or more
fixtures need to respond to controller commands in exactly the same way. In that case, those
fixtures must be the same type (for example two SolaWash 19 LED fixtures) with the same
User Mode setting and must share the entire channel range.
The notes in the following table show the various considerations in determining valid Start
Channels for fixtures on a 512 DMX link.
