DMX 512 Controller
Setting the DMX address
Each fixture requires a "start address" from 1 to 512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for
control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture
that occupies or uses 7 channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would
read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. Choose start addresses so that the
channels used do not overlap and note the start address selected for future reference. The
COLORado™ 6 uses up to12 channels of DMX. If this is your first time using DMX, we recommend
reading the DMX Primer in the Appendix Section.
Control Panel Functions
All fixture functions and settings are accessible via the built in control panel interface.

The figure above shows a simple DMX layout which has used three units at each
DMX address. The three units have different ID addresses which allows the user to
collectively control the whole group of units at that DMX address by setting Channel
10 to 0, or to control each unit independently by first selecting the DMX address and
then by using Channel 10 to locate the target ID address. (Note that when using ID
addresses it is also possible to activate ADAS which allows for even more option with
DMX addressing and control.
