Address and Configure the Fixtures
Make sure the power is ON before addressing and configuring fixtures.
Each C-Splash 2 fixture has a
light number
, which controllers use to communicate with
the fixture. Each light number corresponds to three sequential DMX addresses, one for
red, one for green, and one for blue. C-Splash 2 fixtures come factory-addressed to light
number 1.
For lighting designs where fixtures work in unison, all fixtures must be set to the same
light number. Changes to the factory defaults are not necessary, but if lights were
previously readdressed for use in other installations, you must reset them. For light
show designs that show different colors on different fixtures, you must assign unique
light numbers to your fixtures and sort them in a useful order.
• In Ethernet installations, you can you can address and configure your fixtures using
QuickPlay Pro with a computer connected to your lighting installation’s network.
QuickPlay Pro can automatically discover all of your fixtures and controllers for
quick configuration.
• In DMX installations, you can address and configure your fixtures using QuickPlay
Pro with iPlayer 3 or SmartJack Pro. You can manually enter fixture serial numbers,
or you can import a spreadsheet listing each fixture’s serial number and starting
DMX address.
For complete details on addressing and configuring fixtures, controllers, and
power / data supplies with QuickPlay Pro, refer to the Addressing and Configuration
Guide.
