Configuration (DMX)

The COLORband Q3BT works with a DMX controller. Information about DMX is in the CHAUVET DMX
Primer, which is available from the Chauvet website
DMX_Primer_rev05_WO.pdf.

Starting Address

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.
The COLORband Q3BT uses up to 16 DMX channels, which defines the highest configurable address as
497.
If you are not familiar with the DMX protocol, download the DMX Primer from www.chauvetdj.com.
To select the starting address, do the following:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until 4Ch, 6Ch, or 16Ch shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address, from d001–509.
4. Press <ENTER>.
