Setting The Starting Address - Chauvet Stage Designer 50 User Manual

Setting the Starting Address

This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start
address" from 1 to 512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data
on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that uses 6 DMX channels and
was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103,
104, and 105. Choose start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap, and note the start
address selected for future reference.
If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX-512 control protocol, we suggest jumping
to the Appendix Section and reading the heading "DMX Primer". It contains very useful information
that will help you understand its use.
