Dmx Addressing - ADJ VIZI CMY300 User Instructions

DMX ADDRESSING

DMX ADDRESSING
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the correct fixture
responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from which the
fixture starts to "listen" to the digital control signal sent out from the DMX controller. The assignment of this
starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital control display on the
fixture.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different addresses for each
individual fixture. Setting all fixtures to the same DMX address will cause all fixtures to react in the same way,
in other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.
If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to "listen" to the channel number you
have set, based on the quantity of DMX channels of each fixture. That means changing the settings of one
channel will only affect the selected fixture.
In the case of the Vizi CMY300, when in 24 Channel you should set the starting DMX address of the first unit
to 1, the second unit to 25 (24 + 1), the third unit to 49 (24 + 24 + 1), and so on. (See chart below for more
details.)
