Dmx Channel Setup For Multiple Projectors - Christie M Series User Manual

Appendix C: DMX / ArtNet
C.1.2 DMX Channel Setup for Multiple Projectors
The "Basic" Personality is a subset of the "Advanced" Personality. The Basic personality is limited to 20
channels to allow for more devices to be placed on the same universe, giving the user the most common
controls they would want to use during a basic. The "Advanced" personality is a full personality of 64
channels. By default the "Basic" personality will be used.
It is very important to properly configure the base channel (depending on which personality is used) correctly.
While the DMX specification allows for device overlapping, this may cause undesired results. Below is a table
of how projectors should be configured (assuming that all projectors are to be controlled independently and use
the same personality):
