You can set the COLORado™ 2 Tour 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 within the same
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 11 when in the
TOUR 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.
Carry out all the programming procedures indicated below from the control panel. Refer
to the Menu Map on page 14 to learn how the menu options relate to each other.
