DMX function settings
DMX function settings include the DMX address and DMX mode.
DMX addressing
The fixture can be controlled using signals sent by a DMX controller over 13
DMX channels. The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first
channel used to receive instructions from the DMX controller. Each DMX-
controlled fixture must have a DMX address set. If a fixture has its DMX
address set to 1 and you want to use all 15 channels, then the next fixture can have
a DMX address of 16, the next 31, then 46, and so on until the 512 channels
in one DMX universe have all been allocated.
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own DMX
channels. Two fixtures of the same type may share the same address, if
identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic
purposes and symmetric control, particularly when combined with the inverse
pan and tilt options.
To set the fixture’s DMX address:
1. Select DMX FUNCTIONS in the control panel and press ENTER.
2. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select DMX ADDRESS and press
ENTER. The fixture’s current DMX address will blink in the display.
3. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select a new address (1 to 512).
4. Once the address has been selected, press ENTER to set it (or to return
to the previous menu level without making a change, press MENU).
DMX State
The DMX STATE setting in the control menu determines how the fixture
behaves when it is powered on but not receiving a DMX signal. You can set
the fixture to black out or to hold the effect it was displaying when the DMX
signal stopped.
To adjust the setting:
1. Select DMX STATE and press ENTER. The currently set option will blink
in the display.
