Fixture setup
This section explains the options available to change the fixture's settings. Settings are made using

DMX address
The fixture can be controlled using signals sent by a DMX controller over 23 DMX channels. The DMX
address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the
DMX controller. Each DMX-controlled fixture must have a DMX address set. If a fixture has its DMX
address set to 1 and you want to use all 23 channels, then the next fixture can have a DMX address of
24, the next 47, then 70, and so on until the 512 channels in one DMX universe have all been
allocated.
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own DMX channels. Two fixtures of the
same type may share the same address, if identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can be useful
for diagnostic purposes and symmetric control, particularly when combined with the inverse pan and
tilt options.
To set the fixture's DMX address:
1. Select DMX ADDRESS in the control panel and press ENTER. The fixture's current DMX
address will blink in the display.
2. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select a new address (1 to 512).
3. Once the address has been selected, press ENTER to set it (or to return to the previous menu
level without making a change, press MENU).
Fixture ID
The MAC Axiom Hybrid lets you set a four-digit ID number to ease identification of the fixtures in an
installation.
When a fixture is powered on for the first time, it displays its DMX address by default. As soon as you
set an ID number other than 0 in FIXTURE ID, the MAC Axiom Hybrid will display this ID number by
default, and indicate its Fixture ID in the display.
Personality
The MAC Axiom Hybrid provides several options that let you optimize the fixture for different
applications in the PERSONALITY menu:
The PAN/TILT menu lets you swap and/or invert pan and tilt.
