All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, to ensure that the
correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel num-
ber from which the fixture starts to "listen" to the digital control signal sent out from the DMX control-
ler. This starting DMX address is assigned by setting the correct DMX address on the digital control
display on the fixture.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different addresses
for each individual fixture. Setting all fixtures to the same DMX address will cause all fixtures to react
in the same way; in other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simul-
taneously.
If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to "listen" to the channel number
you have set, based on the quantity of DMX channels of each fixture. That means changing the set-
tings of one channel will only affect the selected fixture.
For example, when in 6 channel mode you should set the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1,
the second unit to 7 (1 + 6), the third unit to 13 (1 + 6 + 6), and so on. Please refer to the chart below.
