Displaying and Setting the Starting DMX Address
By default, the starting DMX address of a ColorBlast TRX fixture is 1. You can
manually set a fixture's starting DMX address using the onboard menus. You can
also address ColorBlast TRX fixtures using the PDS-750 TRX power / data supply,
or using QuickPlay Pro. (See "Address and Configure the Fixtures" above for an
overview of fixture addressing.)
ColorBlast TRX uses a set of consecutive DMX address, beginning with the starting
DMX address. In RGBAW mode, ColorBlast TRX uses five or 10 consecutive
channels. In RGB3 or RGB5 mode, it uses three or six consecutive channels. For
proper operation, set the starting DMX address no higher than 503 for five-channel
operation in 16-bit mode, no higher than 510 for three-channel operation in 8-bit
mode, and so on.
To display the starting address currently assigned to a fixture:
