DMX-512 addressing
DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start
address" from 1 to 511. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data
on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 6 channels
of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101,
102, 103, 104, and 105. Choose start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap and notate
the start address selected for future reference.
If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX-512 control protocol than I suggest jumping
to the Appendix Section and read the heading "DMX Primer". It contains very useful information that
will help you understand its use.

In the 16 bit Control Channel mode you gain a higher degree of resolution in both Pan and Tilt
movement. One extra channel for both the Pan and the Tilt are added and they perform as the "Fine"
movement.
The primary Pan or Tilt channel is known as the MSB "Most Significant Bit". This is the channel that
controls the course or broader range of movement. On a DMX signal stream, there are 255 values for
one channel.
The "Fine" Pan or Tilt channel is known as the LSB "Least Significant Bit". This channel gives you
control of the space between any two MSB values. In other words, it increases the resolution of both
the Pan and Tilt movement, by providing the control of 255 additional values in between each Primary
channel value.

It is possible to invert the pan and tilt mirror movement from within the fixture itself. This could be
helpful in situations where the positioning or rigging of a fixture led to a reverse orientation of the
fixture in relation to all or most other fixtures installed. When choosing to command the pan or tilt of
all fixtures at the same time you will notice that the fixtures whose orientation is different from the
others will most likely move opposite of the rest. You can apply a pan and tilt Invert by following the
settings in the table below.
