  • Page 18: Dmx Addressing

    D M X S E T U P 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. The assignment of this starting DMX address is achieved 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 this case, please note that changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously. If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will “listen” starting at the channel num- ber you have set, based on the quantity of DMX channels of each fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel will only affect the selected fixture. As an example, when operating this device in 3 channel mode, you should set the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 4 (1 + 3), the third unit to 7 (1 + 3 + 3), and so on. (See the chart below for more details.) Channel Mode Unit 1 Address Unit 2 Address Unit 3 Address Unit 4 Address 1 Channels 3 Channels 12 Channels 14 Channels...
