DMX SETUP DMX ADDRESSING All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when operating with a DMX controller, in order to ensure that 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.

PIXEL ZONES In 30-, 33-, 38-, 41-, 60-, and 71-channel mode, the LED strip is divided into 6 separately controlled pixel zones, with each pixel zone consisting of 3 pixels as shown in the illustration below. Activating Pixel Flip in the system menu reverses the order of the arrangement of the pixel zones. Please note that these pixel zones do not apply 5-, 8-, 10-, 13-, and 16-channel mode, as these modes effectively control all 18 pixels as a single group.
