Control Options

The COLORado™ Panel is addressable in the DMX range of 001 to 512. In its simplest control form,
this allows for the control of up to 56 fixtures in the 9-channel Stage1 personality; however, a
secondary "ID" address system exists for use in a limited DMX universe and architectural
environments. The "ID" address system allows the user to assign up to 66 fixtures within the same
DMX address; in effect, multiplying the control of COLORado's™ within a single universe to 3,696
fixtures. The COLORado's™ "ID" address system is accessed using DMX channel 9 [Stage 1].
Consideration must be placed when programming live performances or cues that need to trigger on
demand or on a time line. So, to remain within one second execution time, program no greater than
10 fixtures on ID addressing per DMX channel.

titled; "Display Panel Functions". These steps assume that you have read and are familiar with
setting up a DMX serial data link.

DMX-512 control without "ID" address

The COLORado™ Panel operates on 9 channels of DMX ("STAGE1" personality). Address each
fixture in increments of 9 channels. (I.e. 1,10,19,28, etc...) To save time you can use the same DMX
address for each fixture. All fixtures will then respond simultaneously to control. You may also group
your fixtures and address those groups alike for faster programming and control.
1. Access the control panel function by pressing the (MENU) button until the {RUN MODE} is
displayed.
2. Press (SET) and use the (UP/DOWN) buttons to select {DMX} function.
3. Then, Press (MENU) button until {DMX512 ADDRESS} is displayed.
4. Pres the (SET) button.
6. Use the (UP/DOWN) buttons to increase or decrease channels between 001 and 512.
7. Press the (SET) button to confirm action. Then press (MENU) to exit.
