DDMX-512. This means that it will be able to control 512 lights when used with Dragonframe 4

or dangerous, but it requires precision and patience.

Page 2 Removing the DDMX-S2 Chip Do your best to remove the existing microchip from the socket. Use a small ﬂat-head screwdriver and gently pry up one side a tiny bit. Then try to pry up the other side. Take it slowly.
Page 3 Turn it right-side up. You are done! Note that in Dragonframe, the device may still have a name with “DDMXS2” in it. That does not really matter. Also, it doesn’t matter if you choose “DDMX-S2” or “DDMX-512” in the connections screen. Dragonframe well recognize the 512 channel functionality either way.
