Configuring the device for DMX control
About DMX
The G-Profile can be controlled using signals sent by a DMX controller on a number of channels (which varies depending on
the DMX mode that has been set).
The first channel used to receive data from a DMX control device is known as the DMX start address. Each G-Profile must
have a DMX start address set. For example, if a fixture has a DMX address of 10 and it is in 3-channel DMX mode, then it
uses channels 10, 11, and 12. The following device in the DMX chain could then be set to a DMX address of 13. If two or more
DMX devices of the same type have the same DMX address, then they will mimic each other’s behavior. Incorrect settings
will result in unpredictable responses to the lighting controller.
Setting the DMX address
The DMX address can be seen on the OLED display. To change the address setting, press the up and down arrows. When
the desired address is displayed, press ‘OK’ to save the setting. For your convenience, the suggested DMX address of the
next device is displayed to the right. Note that channel spacing is determined by the DMX mode.
See the “DMX protocols” on page 38 for specific DMX control values.
