DMX Configuration
The Derby X works with a DMX controller. Information about DMX is in the Chauvet DMX Primer, which is
available from the Chauvet website chauvetlighting.com/downloads/DMX_Primer_rev05_WO.pdf.
Personality and Starting Address
The Derby X uses 8 DMX channels in DMX mode, which defines the highest recommended address to
505.
When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels the DMX mode
uses. If the starting address is set too high, access to some channels could be restricted.
For information about the DMX protocol, download the DMX Primer from www.chauvetdj.com.
To select the personality and starting address, do the following:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until 8Ch shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address, from d001–512.
4. Press <ENTER>.
