DMX
OPERATION
Ego X Series fixtures can be connected to and operated from a DMX
controller.
D M X C O N T R O L A D D R E S S
The DMX control address, also known as the start channel, is the first
channel used to receive instructions from the controller. Each fixture
needs its own control address set, and uses this address and subsequent
control channels to receive instructions from a controller.
Ego X4 and Ego X5 fixtures use six control channels. Ego X6 fixtures use
seven control channels. All fixtures read the data on the start channel and
the next channels.
If an Ego X4 or Ego X5 has its control address set to 100, it uses channels
100, 101, 102, 103, 104 and 105. Channel 106 is available for use as
control address for the next fixture.
If an Ego X6 has its control address set to 100, it uses channels 100, 101,
102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. Channel 107 is available for use as control
address for the next fixture.
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own address
and its own control channels. If two or more fixtures are set up with the
same address, they will receive the same instructions and should behave
identically. Setting up identical fixtures with the same address is a good
tool for troubleshooting unexpected behavior and an easy way to achieve
synchronized action.

DIP-switch pins 1-9 are used to set the control address:
1. Select an address for the fixture on your controller. If you are
calculating the DMX addresses for multiple fixtures, you can save time
by using the Martin Address Calculator at

2. Look up the DIP-switch setting using the Martin DIP Switch Calculator
