Control Options
The COLORado™ Batten 80i is addressable in the DMX range of 001 to 512. In its simplest control
form, this allows for the control of 6 fixtures in the full pixel personality with 80 channels each;
however, a secondary "ID" address system exists for use in a limited DMX universe and
architectural environments. The "ID" address system allows the user to assign up to 66 fixtures
within the same DMX address. In effect, multiplying the control of COLORado's™ within a single
universe to 396 fixtures. The COLORado's™ "ID" address system is accessed using DMX channel
10 [Stage 1 & 2]. Consideration must be placed when programming live performances or cues that
need to trigger on demand or on a time line. So, to remain within one second execution time,
program no greater than 10 fixtures on ID addressing per DMX channel.
COLORado ™ Control Quick Setup
For detailed instructions on display panel operations and functions please advance to the section
titled; "Display Panel Functions". These steps assume that you have read and are familiar with
setting up a DMX serial data link.
DMX-512 control without "ID" address
The COLORado™ Batten 80i operates on 10 channels of DMX ("STAGE1" personality). Address
each fixture in increments of 10 channels. (I.e. 1,11,22,33 etc...) To save time you can use the
same DMX address for each fixture. All fixtures will then respond simultaneously to control. You may
also group your fixtures and address those groups alike for faster programming and control.
