8. DEVICE DMX START ADDRESS SELECTION
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so that the correct fixture
responds to the correct control signals. This digital starting address is the channel number from which the
fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation of
this starting address is achieved by setting the correct address number on the display located on the base
of the device.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different addresses for
each fixture individually.
If you set the same address on all devices, all the devices will start to “listen” to the same control signal
from the same channel number. In other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the
fixtures simultaneously.
If you set a different address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number you have set, based on
the quantity of control channels of the unit. That means changing the settings of one channel will affect only
the selected device.
In the case of the led move head, which is a 34 channel fixture, you should set the starting address of the
first unit to 1, the second unit to 35(34 + 1), the third unit to 69 (34+ 35), and so on.
