When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels
the selected DMX mode uses. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you could
restrict the access to some of the product's channels.
The Beamer 8 uses up to 16 DMX channels in a 16Ch DMX mode, which defines the
highest configurable address to 497.
