You can set the COLORdash™ Batten-Tri start address in the 001~512 DMX range.
This allows for the control of up to 46 fixtures in the 11-channel TOUR personality. In
addition, the ID address system allows you to assign up to 66 fixtures for each starting
DMX address, thus multiplying the number of fixtures you can control within a single
universe. You can access the fixture's ID address system from channel 10 when in the
TOUR DMX personality.
When programming live performances as well as cues that need to trigger on
demand or on a time line, program no more than 10 fixtures on ID addressing per
DMX channel. This is to remain within a one-second execution time.
