You can set the COLORado™ 3p Tour's start address in the 001~512 DMX range. This
allows for the control of up to 56 fixtures in the 12-channel TOUR personality. In
addition, the ID address system allows you to assign up to 66 fixtures within the same
DMX address, thus multiplying the number of fixtures you can control within a single
universe. You can access the fixture's ID address system from channel 11 when in the
TOUR personality.
When programming live performances as well as cues that need to trigger on
demand or on a time line, program no more than 10 fixtures on ID addressing per
DMX channel. This is to remain within a one-second execution time.
Carry out all the programming procedures indicated below from the control panel. Refer
to the Menu Map to learn how the menu options relate to each other.
When navigating the menu map, remember that <EXIT> will take you to the left of the
menu map, while <SET> will take you to the right. Similarly, <UP> and <DOWN> will
displace the menu options up or down, similar to <Page UP> and <Page Down> in a
computer keyboard. Do not forget to press <SET> to validate a selection.
This setting allows the user to choose a particular DMX personality.
1) Go to PERSONALITY.
2) Select the desired personality (TOUR, ARC1, AR1 + D, ARC2, AR2 + D, AR2 + S,
HSV or PIXEL).
3) Make sure that the starting addresses on the various fixtures do not overlap due to
the new personality setting. See the DMX Values section.
In this mode, each unit will respond to a unique starting address from the DMX
controller. All units with the same starting address will respond at unison.
1) Select the TOUR personality, as shown in DMX Personality.
2) Select the running mode:
a) Go to RUN.
b) Select DMX.
3) Set the starting address:
a) Go to ADDRESS.
b) Select the starting DMX address (001~512).
4) Deactivate ID Addressing on each fixture:
a) Go to SETTINGS > ID ON/OFF.
b) Select OFF.
Make sure to deactivate ID Addressing in each fixture when using the TOUR
personality. Otherwise, unintended results may occur if channel 11 is not set to
"0".
