The SlimPANEL™ TRI 12 IP has 4 DMX personalities, from a 3-channel mode for basic
control to a 9-channel mode with more advanced control over the lights.
The SlimPANEL™ TRI 12 IP uses up to 9 DMX channels in its 9-channel DMX mode,
which defines the highest configurable address to 504.
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.
If you are not familiar with the DMX protocol, you may refer to the DMX Primer at
