  • Page 16: Dmx Addressing

    DMX ADDRESSING All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the correct fix- ture 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 digi- tal control display on the fixture.
